Player Watch - Ashley Phillips

[felmani26]

Have we been Levy-ed?!

 

[sidford]

These the same owners who tried the same shit with Phil Jones who had a release clause that they tried to get out of when they realised it was set too low?

 

[TheWook]

Whats up with the sources twitter handle

 

[Joshua]

Why is signing centre backs such an absolute mission for this club lol

 

[HenriKane]

now we all know what happens
- if the deal goes through by the reported price, he'll end up being zeki fryers 2.0
- if we don't sign him, he'll become the british van dijk in 2 years

I'm choosing not to believe this because if it's true it's pathetic

Too random not to be true , surely

 

[SandroClegane]

So the quoted "source" has a protected twitter account, and there is no other report about this coming out? Seems like bollocks.

Looks like we have offered the release clause and it’s Blackburn that are playing silly buggers.

 

[mattspur1986]

Fuck me. Can’t close a deal for a 18 year old championship player - let alone VDV/tapsoba.

It’s Alan Nixon, Sports writer for the Sun

It's Alan Nixon the journo. Not mega reliable for us apparently

 

[snakehipsspurs]

Levy is fully allergic to centre backs, I’m convinced at this point

 

[Tyler24durden]

It’s Blackburn who are disputing the release clause at the last minute in an attempt to get more money.

That’s not down to Levy or Spurs.

What would be is if we walk away from a deal completely.

The wording in his contract should be clear enough to establish and if he hasn’t got a release clause, then we renegotiate.

I still think £5m is a good price for him personally but understand it’s nearly double what we believe the release clause is.

Hope we can resolve it quickly.

 

[Stamford]

Probably get done. But it would be pathetic to not do such an easy signing

 

[mil1lion]

It's just a delay like Soloman. The selling club not giving up easy but they have no choice. Let's arrange a pre season where proceeds go to Tim Flowers and Co or something.

 

[fishhhandaricecake]

Is this a grealish situ all over again or just Blackburn digging heels in last min but it’ll get over the line eventually?

 

[Derryank]

Lol...so this guy isn't signed?!?

It takes two hands to clap so while blame is not always on us, it makes you wonder why such scenario seems to happen to us so often.
