i imagine he’ll be on the bench tomorrow but can’t see Spurs letting come if he’s not going play most games so must be a Wilmot replacement Strange there doesn't seem to be any indication in what Postecoglu said that he'd expect him to be a starter. I think that's just wishful thinking on behalf of a few on here who can't find a decent word about one of our better players. they send them out to get experience, he won’t get that sitting on the bench , common sense really or they would keep him |

We needed another centre back so I'm happy with this one. Just a couple of strikers now and it would be a good window for us. Completely agree. We are one capable striker from calling this a very successful window but if you read peoples views on here its like we haven't signed anyone. I think the problem is, if we sign a striker yes it’s a decent enough window and we’ll have been unlucky with Gallagher’s injury. If we don’t sign a striker, especially after Gallagher’s injury, it honestly is a catastrophic window where we’ll be running the risk of being in a very poor position come January. A striker is that big a missing link in this team and absolutely has to be addressed. |

I don't expect him to be taking over as a first choice CB any time soon. |

Made some howlers, prone to switching off but no more so that our other defenders. Given his age and experience he'd have been a solid investment if we had upto £2M to spare that we didn't need to spend elsewhere tbh I don't think another CB was essential whatever his name was. Hopefully there hasn't been a significant loan fee payed for Phillips. |

"Fine" and "howlers" in consecutive sentences 🤣 Our defence was fine in general terms we didn't concede an undue amount of goals but all the defenders made more than one significant individual error maybe with the exception of Stevens who was MIA for most of the season. if it came to a choice who was worth a contract it would be McNally, Hoever, Wilmot without needing more than a fraction of a second to chew on it. |

Perhaps you can't accept that as fact either. Throw open the cell doors everyone is innocent. |

Working with and seeing how older players train, and learning from them. Having more responsibility for yourself. |

Throw open the cell doors everyone is innocent. Such an edgy intellect🔴⚪️ Pretty simple really. When he was alive why could you publish something calling OJ Simpson a murderer without legal redress via libel? because he'd been convicted on the base of balance of probabilities and it was therefore an accepted fact. Or in football terms why can I write David Goodwillie the rapist. |

Then what's the point in Phillips??? McNally didn't shine whatsoever in a poor poor side last season, so it would be pretty much the same at the back this season if we'd got him in, what's the point in that??? As I say, I know absolutely nothing about Phillips, so I guess only time will tell!!! |

There was nothing wrong with the defence. |

Yes there are always a few idiots who think their opinion trumps all statistics. Didn't concede an undue amount of goals, kept a respectable amount of clean sheets, couldn't score for toffee. All pretty incontrovertible. |

There was nothing wrong with the defence. Hmm, ya see, that doesn't make a convincing argument for me!!! We looked a shambles at the back for much of the season, we were as bad at the back as we were up front!!! Nah, I was hoping for a strong solid centre back, one of the core positions we've been screaming out for for a good while now, and yet we still haven't filled, McNally would have been a sideways step, and pretty much the same as last year!!! |
