Mark Iles from BEN was on Talksport earlier, he said Shaun Wright Phillips was in negotiatons with BWFC, I have heard a fair few on hear slagging Iles off so not sure if this can be believed, but I would hope it happens to lift the gloom of the 2 broken legs.

BN reporting he's meeting OC, agreed a ?4m fee.

 

And to think Chelsea paid ?21m for him!

Happy with all three targets that we are strongly linked with. Let's hope we can get the deals (or at least 2/3) wrapped up soon and that they are not contingent on Cahill leaving ...

 

Would be a good summer of business by OC and Garty in my view ...

TBF, that was about 5 years ago.

 

I actually think that ?4m is an absolute bargain - especially when you look at some of the transfer fees being coughed up by other clubs this summer.

 

If we can get SWP and Tuncay (and another striker on loan hopefully) then all of a sudden, IMO, things are looking very promising indeed. I'll be well chuffed.

4m on a 30 year old?

 

i think 4m for is good business, but didnt OC say he wouldnt do that kinda thing?

He did say that, however, there will be cases that come along that he will see as too good an opportunity to pass up. he obvioulsy rates SWP highly as he tried to bring him aboard in January.

 

It would be foolish, IMO, to not sign a player simply because of his age, especially when the transfer fee isn't a stupidly high one.

 

If City were after, say, ?8m then there is no way we would even consider him given his age.

 

The good thing about signing SWP is that it isn't a gamble. We know all about him and what he can do.

 

Just watch now, he'll probably end up at Wigan!

Maybe OC has seen the size of him and assumed he's still in his teens?

A bit like Arnold Jackson. He was in his 60s or sommat when he was filming Diff'rent Strokes wan't he?

aye, though I imagine the CYL injury forced him to reassess what we'd need to bring in to cover his absence

Sadly I think that ?4M falls in to the "fuck all" catagory now, you can't really get much for anything under ?4M these days

SWP will end up at stoke because we won't pay his wages, they will and have the European carrot to dangle, I hope he doesn't and we get him signed up, but I think money will talk at his time of career.

4M Buys you someone that can put one foot in front of the other and can tie his own boot laces up, any more it will cost you more

Hes goingto Stoke. Tony Pullis will pay him what he wants

Don't forget the ?80K a week, Tyls ...... if they can tie both boots & get the arms tattooed.

So Stoke it is then for the little fella, that will be along with Jerome, Crouch, Placios, Tuncay and every fucker else they're linked with. What a fine old squad old twatcap ed will have in the potteries..

Wright Phillips can sit on City's bench. Why would he want to swap that for Stoke's bench?

 

They have wingers already, he'll just be a squad man there. He wants regular starts - that's why we're in the driving seat. That has never changed.

Thats a fair point and it seems we've chased him for a while now, hope we are in the driving seat, would be a massive boost for our squad.

Stoke havent made a bid so theres no point crying, not yet anyway.

fingers crossed the meeting went well and we should hear something soon!

One transfer that appears to have taken a backward step is the ?2.5m deal for Manchester City?s Shaun Wright-Phillips. Talks have been held with the England winger but Stoke City now appear to have tabled a rival bid, with the promise of a bigger basic salary.

 

?2.5M sounds like a bargain.

It is cheap its the salary that goes with it that is the problem.

But i thought zat knight was his bestest buddy??

If he'd rather move from warming the bench at Citeh to warming the bench a fraction less at Stoke, then he's not for us anyway.

I thought he wasn't bothered about wages and just wanted to play football again after being left out of the side for so long?

 

If it is wages that turns his head then the greedy bugger who tells lies (and has enough money anyway) can go else where.

He seems to be going to Stoke as they have agreed to pay for the wooden blocks to be fitted to his car pedals

Why do people think he won't walk straight into Stoke's team? Can't see him being a bench warmer no matter who there current right winger is. Whoever it is, I reckon SWP is better
