Premiership striker

[Spanish Seagulls]

Having read on here a couple of days ago that we were looking at a premiership striker & the fact that there have previously been other threads linking us to Kevin Phillips news today from Birmingham paves the way for this to be a distinct possibility:

Birmingham are also closing in on the £5m signing of Palermo striker Fabrizio Miccoli, with fellow forward Kevin Phillips set to leave the club as a result.
Full story: Daily Mirror

It may or may not happen but I'd like to think we could & he would but I imagine there would be a host of Championship clubs that would be more than happy to aquire Mr Phillips. If he did come it would be a good statement of intent.

He'd be great but his wages would be massive, justified only by the INSANE AMOUNT OF GOALS HE'D GET FOR US!

Sign him. Go on. It makes sense.

I know that Phillips is going and has "a number of possibilities to consider". No hint from anyone I know around Birmingham City as to where he might go as it's with his agent and the club are, I suspect, no longer overly involved. I would be very surprised if he came to us but we can live in hope.

Marlon Harewood has been mentioned. Would rather have Phillips though, although Phillips has always scored most of his goals when playing off a big man. He could not play a lone role, oh its nice to dream.lol

Indeed. I think we need to have a 'crown jewel' to get those goals.

If we did, and he did, then starting Falmer in the Championship would bring bucket loads of cash into the club just from TV money alone.

And there a slippy slope may start...

I have never rated Harewood, He has so much pace but cant finish.

indeed - by far the most likely outcome is a championship reserve at best (which may not necessarily be an entirely bad thing if Barnes' performances are anything to go by)

The two thing most brighton fans want in one sentance.

Its not going to be anyone as class as Marlon Harewood or Kevin Phillips , the wages on them would be so much higher then Lee Hendrie's and we can't even afford his , it'll probley be a young fresh striker from a teams academy .

Marlon Harewood has been mentioned. Would rather have Phillips though,

i think i'd rather have Harewood, player for a few years than one maybe two as they look at retirement.

though frankly i think anyone believing either are coming to League 1 Brigthon are delusional. Phillips will have about 20 clubs playing in the PL and Championship to choose from and Harewood could settle in to most Chamionship sides.

MY ASS GET IN THE REAL WORLD

 

[public school boy]

Kevin Phillips has gone or is going to Barnsley. A fee has been agreed between the two clubs.

 

[CAPTAIN GREALISH]

NO I WAS SURE HE WAS COMING TO US

edited wrong thread ignore

Your head needs fixing if you believe what the daily mirror says

 

[kevtherev]

Cant belive with our fantastic links with Arsenal we have not had a twenty goal a season loan player for the last ten years running.

 

[Foolg]

If we cant afford the likes of Billy Paynter or Lee Barnards wages, people thinking we could sign Kevin Phillips or Marlon Harewood need their heads checked.
