Horton's halftime iceberg
Blooming Marvellous
Loads wanted Kevin Phillips last season and he was immense.
This season people saying the same thing and he goes and signs for that shambles up the road
Same with Jason Scotland banged them in....... and was another experienced head last season I'm sure who half the posters wanted, he signed for a borderline play-off side and spanked loads in. We'll learn eventually that alongside a couple of great young(ish) players for now we need an experienced poacher on the bench not 18 year old kids UP FRONT. Midfield is a different matter where pace will change a game in the final 20. Up front it's positioning and finishing from experience.
Phillips wanted to come, if you listened to his interview on the football league show podcast he clearly states this, however he has about six kids all settled in Cheshire (not willing to move) and Blackpool offered similar money where he could get to the club in about 1 and a half hours.
So I was surprised when he popped up at Palace. On the way back from the Bristol City game (post his hat-rick) he is interviewed in his car on Talk-sport, transpires he trains at home or somewhere local, Gus has always made it clear he wants players training together and especially pre season.
To add to Scotland you could have Leroy Lita as well, but we dont know how much is money, agents, location. All we do know us Gus and Tony will be working hard to get the right player.
