davenportram Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 i thought we were going after proven championship players, It was said some names we would recognise( proven players) like Bowyer Some we would say "who are they" like John Brayford, who it is hoped would be as much of a revelation as Brayford. Like this guy and the youngster from Torquay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gavram Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 http://www.tribalfootball.com/articles/derby-target-birmingham-veteran-phillips-1539211 Derby County are eyeing Birmingham City striker Kevin Phillips. The 37 year-old comes off contract at St Andrew's in June and yet to hear from Blues about a new deal. Proven championship scorer and we seem to be linked with him every year, surely not true at 37 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welsh dragon Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 surley we can spend on a better player wages i mean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcfcdavecov Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 surley we can spend on a better player wages i mean So first you wanted a proven Championship player, then we are linked with one and you don't want him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastKentRam Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Glenn Murray is quality, really top player and it's only his attitude that has stopped him playing at a higher level. Poyet really seems to be getting the best out of him this season, although i cant see why he would want to leave i wouldnt be surprised if he did. I expect he's one of Brightons higher earners who can probably pay just as much as we can currently, new stadium to move into, young talented manager who's going places, minted owner who will invest and guaranteed Championship football next season. To put it bluntly, i reckon there's zero chance he'd join us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NothernRam Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 So first you wanted a proven Championship player, then we are linked with one and you don't want him. Phillips will be 38 in July. So he can **** off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcfcdavecov Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Peschi-solido clap clap clap clap clap Pesci-solido He was 36 with us, and i think Phillips is far better than him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastKentRam Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 He's already rejected their contract offer and talks have broken down. What about now? On Sky Sport is says that was earlier this year, and Poyet has apparently said new contracts will be sorted when promotion is guaranteed, not sure how true that is but what i've read on their forum. Even still, as i said, i wouldnt be surprised if he left but i think we'd have to offer him a big salary, something i cant see us doing on an unproven Championship striker. If he was to leave i'd expect a top Championship club with some ambition to take a punt on him, Leeds, Norwich etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are supposed to be challenging next year, so i really can't see why we wouldn't be able to offer him wages Norwich, Leeds and Brighton could.
