No Godfrey or Phillips signings this season or a striker like Al Hamadi as back up let's get this window right. |  | | |  |

I'd argue Sunderland signing Xhaka was very similar to us picking up Phillips. One worked, the other didn't, but it doesn't mean the idea was wrong. | |

Phillips was a gamble. Xhaka was not. But yes, its the area we need a big player. |  |

Phillips was slated by the west ham fans for continuous poor performances on loan and hadn't really done much since leaving leeds
Xhaka was a regular for levekusen and was still very highly rated there [Post edited 3 May 20:30]

So, you are just saying to only sign good players and not ones who won’t work out?
Controversial … |  | | |

But wasn't available in the summer of 2024. The logic was right, and the position we were in, we took an understandable risk. I have questions about a lot of our recruitment the last time we went up, but that's not one of them. | |

Indeed. I think you could argue Phillips and Barkley were more similar but the Barkley one worked out.
We need to get at least one, hopefully two of this type of signing and get it right this time. Not another Brandon Williams nor Phillips. The problem is identifying in advance which way it will go in the future. |  |

And you’d be wrong! Philips career had already nosedived [Post edited 3 May 23:40]
