So.....Kevin Phillips?

I don't think you can use the fact that certain players might be put out as a reason not to strengthen. If Phillips came, he wouldn't even play 20 minutes of every game, I wouldn't bring him on if we were winning as we'd be better off playing attackers who have better all-round games. But if we're not winning then there are times when we could do with a genuine finisher who knows where the net is.

Besides, it's actually players like Schlupp, GTF and Waghorn who should arguably be more worried about this signing as the likes of Nugent will still get around three quarters of the match to get us in the lead.

Waggy in particular, his days are surely numbered

Schlupp's second roll (although stronger) at LB will keep him in and around the squad

GTF will be a bit of the opposite to KP and help see out games. But will most probably move down the order once wood is fit

For me it should be: Vardy, Nugent, Wood starting games
GTF coming on if we’re winning games or as a tactical alternative.

Phillips (if we sign him) to come on when we’re chasing games

Schlupp retained as a squad player, but someone should tell him to concentrate on developing as a left back. If he cannot accept this and wants to be used as a striker, then he should be sent elsewhere.

Waghorn to be used only when we specifically want someone to lose possession, run around energetically with no particular purpose and hit the ball very hard with random accuracy. Someone should tell him he’s not a footballer. If he cannot accept this and wants to be used as a striker, then he should be shot!

"Schlupp's second roll (although stronger) at LB will keep him in and around the squad"

"Schlupp retained as a squad player, but someone should tell him to concentrate on developing as a left back. If he cannot accept this and wants to be used as a striker, then he should be sent elsewhere."

I agree with both of these. I fear he's not up to the standard required as a striker, but can still learn his trade as an attacking left back and become very effective there. He has a lot to learn of course, but this could be a fruitful future for him if he wants to commit to it.

It seems im in the minority but i dont get this signing. Hes past it and i honestly dont see why he should come on infront of Schlupp or Waggy.

CDUBYA Kevin Phillips is a goal scorer thats the massive difference between him and Waggy and Schlupp. forget the pecking order if can get goals and come on in pressure games which in turn gets us promoted why not. Look at the difference GTF has made why can't KP @the KP make a bigger impression.
Looks like the new winger is on the ferry from Le Harve

Phillips didnt play for Palace last season really let alone this. Before that i believe he was released by Blackpool. I know he was a good player but I honestly would back Schlupp and Waggy ahead of him if we go into the last game of the season needing a win.

Now the winger i do like the look of...

If we go in to the last game needing a win and Waghorn is on the pitch then we have found our selves in a desperate situation. And I'll not be looking forward to the play offs

He did well when given a run last season. Has done well on loan at Millwall. I suppose the grass is always greener

I do see where you're coming from CDUB and I guess the answer is that it depends on how we intend to use him. If Wood, Vardy and Nugent get injured I would see Schlupp and Waggy as more likely starters.

If they don't get injured then it's just case of who you would back to make most impact from the bench. I'd back Phillips!
