Rich-TWSC- Posted June 14, 2006 Report Share Posted June 14, 2006 Get Phillips 14th June 2006LEE Peacock has revealed friend and former teammate Steve Phillips is keen on a move to the County Ground and has urged Town’s new management team to snap him up.Bristol City goalkeeper Steve Phillips has been placed on the transfer list at Ashton Gate after falling out of favour with Gary Johnson and Town striker Peacock is confident he could be a solution to their number one problems.Peacock revealed he bumped into Phillips yesterday while on holiday in Majorca, where the City stopper told him he had asked his agent to try and sort out a move to the County Ground for him.Rhys Evans’ move to Blackpool has left Town boss Dennis Wise without a keeper and Peacock believes Phillips would be the ‘ideal man’ to help earn an immediate return to League One.He said: “Steve is staying at the same hotel as me and we have all been down to the beach together. He told me how his agent is going to be contacting Swindon to see whether they would be interested in taking him.“He sounded as though he would love the move to happen and Swindon could do a lot worse than bringing him in as a replacement for Rhys.“During my time at Bristol City, Steve hardly put a foot wrong. He was, in my opinion, one of the best keepers at that level and still is. I would love him to come and join me here.”Phillips joined City in November 1996 from local non-league side Paulton Rovers and made his first team debut in December 1998.A good shot stopper, Phillips had cemented his position as Ashton Gate as first choice until the arrival of Johnson just before Christmas.Since then, Phillips has been left in the cold and placed on the transfer list, with City yet to receive any bids for him.Peacock said: “He made the League One team of the year only a couple of seasons back. I don’t know who else Dennis Wise is lining up but for me there are not many better than Phillips.”Peacock endured a frustrating end to last season through injury and admits a combination of Wise and Gus Poyet’s arrival and the World Cup has got him longing for next campaign.He said: “I can’t wait. Hopefully Dennis Wise will bring in some good new signings and we will be ready for a good season.” Right Here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted June 14, 2006 Report Share Posted June 14, 2006 Ideal move for him, could stay living in Bristol and link up with old friends! Interesting to see how much influence LeePea thinks he has with the new management? Not sure if he thinks league 2 will be good enough for him, but if you don't have anyone challenging for his place I think he might like that. He must be getting concerned now that ,apparantly, no interest has been shown in him. His testimonial year hasn't quite gone to plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich-TWSC- Posted June 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2006 I think it's a realistic target for Swindon... However, Dennis Wise has been linked to his keeper at Millwall, Marshall.I've seen quite a bit of Phillips... He wouldn't be an awful signing by a long way but I'd be suprised if Wise took the advice of Peacock just yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B1ackbird Posted June 14, 2006 Report Share Posted June 14, 2006 Good keeper Rich, just time for him to move on!!But, as you say, Wise'll porbably bring his own players in!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he's formed and reputation dipped.I think he's facing facts... Find a league team or disappear.But it's Phillips who wants a move to the County Ground and not Swindon who want him, yet.If Andy King was at the club he'd have signed already!

port marine red Posted June 14, 2006 Report Share Posted June 14, 2006 I stayed in the same hotel as Phillips and Peacock, the Sol Mirlos in Palma Nova. Bumped into Steve a few times but thought it wise not to mention his current situaution. Still, everytime I saw him he always said hello and came across a very nice bloke. Saw Lee once, heading up to Magaluf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JudgeRed Posted June 14, 2006 Report Share Posted June 14, 2006 I wish Steve all the very best where ever he plays I think he is a very under rated goalkeeper. GJ is a clown when it come to selling/buying player's to play for Bristol City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozo Posted June 14, 2006 Report Share Posted June 14, 2006 He'd certainly be one of the better keepers in League 2. I'd advise Swindon to snap him up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mozo Posted June 14, 2006 Report Share Posted June 14, 2006 Rumour has it Wise will persuade Cudiccini to go to Swinedon.About as believable as most of the rumours on here. I'm still waiting for Robbie Fowler to sign for City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bh_red Posted June 14, 2006 Report Share Posted June 14, 2006 Rumour has it Wise will persuade Cudiccini to go to Swinedon.yeah, because he will want to give up his rumoured 40k a week for sitting on the bench to play for swindon, more chance of Tinnion being next england manager!
