Kalvin Phillips would be an immense signing
What about on loanHe would but he's on £150,000 a week.
It's not happening.

What about on loan
Its better than what they ar egetting at the moment for himI can't see it myself.
If we offered £25,000 a week towards his wages, which is about top whack for us, it's only one sixth of what he earns. I can't see his present club being happy with that.
I'd love to be proven wrong
If we'd signed a player who hasn't played higher than League 1 in our position you'd be complaining. Like you have non stop about the "Barnsley boys" or Jamie Allen.Can’t believe Boro are signing players when they might go up. Madness.
Not the sort of signing that Doug likesHe might be 34, but Tom Cairney would be a belter of a signing. If Ipswich are in for him we definitely should be rivalling them.
I heard his dad was less enthusiastic and urged his son to be cautious and think about it a bit more.Son is at Ryton with his father. Father and son looking forward to this next chapter…

Not quite... Allen scored against us, the season before he signed, from a Burge fuck up on a Friday night... we were both L1.Also Jamie Allen was signed in L1 from a Championship team.
Great banter though.

One thing we learnt. The Korean kid just popped out the wordwork, no ITK lead, so they work that way. However, the Palace lad was mentioned a few weeks ago so someone knows something. In conclusion, ITK know nothing apart from the ones that know something.
Well the two so far fit the model. Possible signing details have originated from their clubs or agents leaking the information, which appears on social media and is picked up on here..I agree, but Doug now has to have his short term goal of promotion as priority. . From that point he has every goal, short, mid and long term in his own hands.
I just think today short term goal is priority and over rides philosophy, structure and model. Once you get the money from promotion then go back to the the business mantra whatever that is.

He looks completely out of his depth unfortunately.Arsenal fans saying Viktor Gyokeres on loan to Coventry
We definitely need a couple more, but its a balance on what the plan is for the player we sign.
McConnell at Liverpool, Sam Sam Rak-Sakyi at Chelsea. Who probably need loans out and would consider moves if they could get game time.
Others like James at Leicester and Armstrong at Everton are another 2 both young, both further down the road on careers than the other 2 named.
Or we go for Harrison Everton, Neil Sunderland, JWP West ham, Cairney Fulham, who are types you know what you get.
Other than that its paying a fee for a player who you see as a prem.player.
I definitely think Doug is still working on a few deals.
It is, but also - Arsenal signed a centre forward who runs channels and drives at players. Only to be shocked that he doesn't link play and is ineffective when you just pump crosses and corners into the box.Watching Gyokeres play for Arsenal makes you realise just how hard it would be if we were to go up this season. The difference in level is staggering.
His insistence on preferring to join Arsenal always seemed a bit strange to me - maybe he'll adjust to the way they play, but it's so far removed from his natural strengths as a player that it seems a tall order.He looks completely out of his depth unfortunately.

He obviously thought he'd have much more chance of winning things with Arsenal rather than ManureHis insistence on preferring to join Arsenal always seemed a bit strange to me - maybe he'll adjust to the way they play, but it's so far removed from his natural strengths as a player that it seems a tall order.
