Sampson City Reds Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 Sadly it looks like Kevin Phillips is going to sign for Birmingham in the next few days on a 2 year deal! If this is true it will be very disappointing because I would have loved to have seen him wearing the shirt of the might Reds for the next couple of seasons. Because he makes scoring goals in this league look easy a thing we struggled with last season. I really hope I'm wrong and he comes to us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmax Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 If Tyson and Met3b arrive and score a hatful of goals, I don't care. MM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cider head Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 I thought he was going to stay at wba!! Phillips tempted to stay!!! Prem chance could keep Phillips at Hawthorns Kevin Phillips' agent has revealed the player could sign a new deal to stay at West Brom. The 34-year-old's future at the Hawthorns has been the subject of intense speculation with the player yet to sign a new deal. Phillips has been holding out for a two-year extension, but West Brom are only looking to offer the former Sunderland hit-man a one-year deal. However, Phillips' agent, Phil Smith says the prospect of playing in the Premier League next season could persuade the prolific goalscorer to stay with the Baggies. "We have come to terms with the fact there may not be two years on offer," Smith told the Express and Star. "The lure of Premier League football again is very big." http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11095_3731293,00.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunningdalered Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 much though i would like to see players give a bit more back to the fans who worship them, at least with KP he's clearly putting himself out there as a mercenary, gun for hire, player - no pretence that he actually gives a **** about anything more than money. gotta respect that i suppose.

Gaffer Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 Well that settles that then. Big money Birmingham move or stay with West Brom. Only the most blinkered City fan would expect him to choose us over those two options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBF to GJ and SL, decent strikers are rarer than rocking horse sh!t It's only 3rd July, for heaven's sake! Of course we'll sign someone before the start of the season, and probably before the end of July. Think positive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No true but so much news on this subject all day, plus read a week ago he wanted to stay in Midlands, Birmingham offering big wages, it's pretty nailed on.

Sargent Pepper Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 There was rumors that KP was having a tour of Ashton Gate with GJ but I don't know how true this is. I heard the same rumour. Suppose it shows we we're serious and ambitious enough and that he wanted to stay in the comfort zone. Shame though.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
