Matt Phillips - something doesn't add up?

Mon Jan 23, 2012 3:24 pm

I'm pretty sure Blackpool turned down a big bid not long ago for him from a premier league club, yet ollie has sent him out on loan as well? Maybe it's a smoke screen or even someway of getting Brighton to sell Noone?

I never discredit what Carl knows and tells us, but I don't know why, I just smell something fishy? £500,0000 ?? :|

Blackpool paid 700k for him from Wycombe and he is a betetr player now so I was thinking the same

Merlin, maybe earnie holds the key to this bid. i know they've got kevin phillips but i do remember holloway sticking his nose in when we played up there saying that he doesn't understand why earnie is on the bench etc. :ayatollah:

Didn't Blackpool try to get Earnie before he came home?

Maybe some kind of deal will be done, but I would keep Earnie.
May have a part to play in the season yet. Did well at WBA in cup.

Blackpool paid £350k for him with variousadd ons which could take the deal to £700k. Also he has only started 12 games for Blackpool thisseason so maybe he is available.

I don't think he'd go to another club in the Championship and make a sidewards move in his career.There's only one place for this lad and it's the Premier League.Blackpool want Dobbie so It'd make sense if he came to Swansea instead.
