Sounds as good as done then. Hopefully the magical pre season will get him firing again

Hopefully its a deal once again heavily weighted in our favour in terms of wages etc.

He wouldn't be coming if it wasn't

 

[ComedyClub]

Fantastic news.

 

[Berkshire Blade]

Rather we had a souza type tbh.

Crazy he's still only 30...and has two years left on a contract that is paying him life changing money for most people on earth for another two years!

 

[brownblade]

Ignoring all injuries, form etc... Great signing.

Was quality last season with us, that half at Portsmouth were world class.

Worrying that nobody else will have him.

Maybe but usually in loan moves its where the player would prefer to go.

Is it? Or is it blatantly obvious lol.

Yeah, let's just forget all that nonsense

 

[Grumpy Fat Sod]

We need a drake meme with him waving away new young blood and being thrilled at the same old shite again

 

[mattbianco1]

Was quality last season with us, that half at Portsmouth were world class.

And the first half v Pigs before he tried to chop someone's leg off.

(Genuinely happy with this signing BTW)

 

[Wards]

Really hope it works out for him despite the obvious signs that it's a massive gamble. Seems a top lad and someone you'd want to have on your side, and Wilder obviously trusts him.

I can see why we've done it, get him anything like fit and he's a ridiculous player for this level.

 

[Working Class Hero]

I know it's petty beyond belief, but I actually have an irrational dislike of Kalvin Phillips, for single-handedly preventing what could well have been the biggest Steel City Derby win in history.

Never a red card that! The pig wanted him sent off and sadly we fell in the fckg trap

We relegated them. As far as I am concerned that makes it the biggest Steel City Derby win in history.

 

[Younger Dryas Blade]

Rothwell, Jairo and Phillips are all a bit samey. I expect Peck to be sold (I'd also put him in that samey bracket) and Blaster may or may not come back as the player before his injury.
There isn't much pace or creativity in that bunch which is a concern.

 

[Fatlad666]

Expect Peck to be off then

Why

 

[CaptainMorgans]

There's a high ceiling to him and he showed flashes of what he can do in his loan spell.

You'd worry about how we'd progress the ball through the middle with Riedewald and Phillips sat in there, I remember Wilder's master plan to pair Souza & Choudhury together and the results could go similar.

Of course, give it a chance and it's heartening that he wants the loan. It could go brilliantly.
I just hope it's not costing us too much as the Souttar deal is already a big gamble for a club in our best position (again, one with a lot of potential upside but with obvious risk).

 

[Klaatu Barada Nikto]

This happening then. Christ. I thought it was a sick joke at the start of the summer .

 

[sufc323]

This is exactly what we need. A mobile presence in the middle of the park who will give us 40+ games a year. Young and on an upward trajectory too, and I imagine he’s cheap which is what we need now we’ve not got parachute payments.

Hats off to Wilder and the recruitment team, they might have unearthed a gem here completely under the radar.

Frightening isn't it

Player of the Season. Calling it.
