Philip Billing

[CaptainMorgans]

Make it £5 million and quality signing. There would likely be wage issues I'd guess.

I think £8m up front is too steep for us given his age profile.

Agree, at £5m he would represent good value.

Really not sure where he fits in with Hamer & O'Hare though.

He's more box to box, isn't he? Can definitely tackle better than those two put together!

Hamer----Billing
----Soumare----

I would have thought.

 

[bertieblade]

Absolutely zero idea if this is true, but a huge emphatic YES if it is.

Reminder for those perhaps unaware, but Billing was part of the Napoli squad that won Serie A last season. Even scored to earn them a draw against Inter Milan in one of his first appearances.

If we're able to do a deal for this guy, he absolutely should be a priority.

Did not realise he had been at Napoli

 

[Cheeky Blade]

Peckers out.
Billing in?

 

[Addison]

Mentioned him before a number of times. Ideal replacement for Souza. His height and strength fits with the Championship. We need to make it happen, its a no brainer if we want to progress. It would be a statement signing if we were able to achieve it. More important the gaping whole in front of our back four would be filled with Soumare as back up ensuring we have 2 players available in what for me is the key position this season for Selles ball.

 

[brownblade]

Any fu(ker....we are a serious soft touch at present. Putting Billing in front of our back 4 at CDM would be a game charger. Hes solid in the tackle, can get forward and hes tall. Did you see our midfield at Swansea?

Id drop Peck for starters but more likely hed initially play instead of Soumare whilst he gets up to speed. Billing would make a hell of a difference to our midfield.

He's more of an attacker than a defensive midfielder.
Too good for the Championship... Find this one hard to believe unless all necessary circumstances happen to align.

 

[CyloCybin]

This would be a huge signing for us. CBs first priority, but man if we get this guy....

 

[Bladeinleeds]

I’ve always liked billing and his style of play.

I’d be very interested if we could do something to bring him in.

I wonder if we end up settling on something like

Soumare Billing (or Similar) O’Hare

Hamer Campbell Barry

We have to have Hamer on the pitch and he’s talented enough to play on the right given he played LW last season.

 

[Eric_Brooks]

How is Lucas Badonde getting all this info on us?

It’s Max

 

[HeCanDoMagic]

Who is?

Yeah for me he'd be a replacement for Hamer if he went

WUEDP?

 

[Hamer's Right Peg]

Billing is more of a 6/8 type or in non woke terms a true box to box player.

 

[BrisBlade]

4-2-3-1 with Billing and Soumare holding and O'Hare, Hamer, and Barry behind Campbell would work for me. Especially if we get the back four sorted.

Billing plays far more advanced than Souza.

 

[wizadry]

How we set up from the midfield upwards all depends on how good our defensive reinforcements are if or when they arrive.

4/8 if you’re truly non woke!

 

[Thrice]

Should be tough to get over the line if Ipswich are interested and serious about it.

 

[Houston_Blade]

We won't be paying 8.5M for a 29 year old. That's the sort of money you pay for younger players with potential for profit.

We just lose them for nowt at the end of their contract anyway so what difference does it make whether he’s 17 or 29?

 

[Aston max]

Didn't I read he,d had words with iriola

 

[Macfarlane21]

If all the rumours are true and we are genuinely interested in Billing, we could go from spending virtually nothing to 30m before the transfer window closes.

Can't see it happening but I'm gojng to enjoy the euphoria whilst ive got it

Seol - apparently still interested - 5m
Zätterström - up to 3m
Godfrey - up to 3m (on wages)
Mee - Imagine up to 1m signing on fee
Billing - 9m
Mystery winger - let's say 5m

Think Godfrey (should) end the Seol link. Can't imagine Seriki would be too happy being third choice.

You misread, he said he likes areola.

 

[Uganda Blade]

You misread, he said he likes areola.

So he's a bit of a tit?

Loves a good nipple.

 

[jono_t2000]

Would love to see Billing come in, he's the ultimate beast.

Can't remember which game it was but I remember there was an on field scuffle and Billing was holding back two of our players single handedly like they were flies.

Agree but can’t see it tbh, plus T-Blade doesn’t think it’s a goer

That is disappointing. Really hoping there's truth in this one. Proper player.

 

[TJ blade]

This is one what's definitely not happening!
