according to Andy Naylor on Twitter a couple of minutes ago. Says Gus spoke to Phillips as well as CMS

Really?! I got the impression he was a target once he'd said 'we've watched him a lot'. Could have just been a reference to him being about donkeys yrs but i think more to it than that. As for all the sarcastic comments I genuinly didn't know this was common knowledge and thought it was just NSC speculation?! Have i missed something!?

They watched him a lot but I didn't get the impression an approach was made. I think this could be from sources close to, rather than from the horses mouth.
But hey I could be wrong.

Phillips was preumably our second target and we are now looking for another striker to both complement CMS and give us some higher league experience and something different up front. Hopefully that signing comes off
I guess Blackpool must have been prepared to pay more than ourselves and Watford (who Naylor says he also spoke to) ................................ just goes to show as Mr Holloway rightly points out - it isn't down to football success or the size of the club but how much more someone like Blackpool is prepared to pay

It's okay HB&B I'm sure that everyone has noted that YOU WERE AT GUS' PRESS CONFERENCE TODAY and I'm sure it's disappointing that no-one has asked how or why but this is something Naylor said in the last hour and has nothing to do with your undoubtably uplifting experience earlier in the day

Those words tell you all you need to know about this story.

Phillips was mentioned on here a long time ago. Our local expert has finally arrived at the party and confirmed that. Will someone tell Naylor we have secured the League One title?

Yes but that was at League 1 level and wasn't going to happen. We shall see today if the not so young Kev has had a good pre season and really can cope with the pace of the Championship, I presume Holloway will start with him. He was 38 earlier this year. Remember, Dean Windass played on the adrenaline of playing for his home town club.
Probably pop into Hills for a Philips to score at any time price though.

I'm genuinely shocked by this. A very good player, but does not fit Poyet's normal profile of young with something to prove.

Gus has this reputation, but i know that we also had discussions with Johnathan Woodgate, so i think he is quite happy to look at older players as long as he believes they have the right mental attitude.
