Don't want Austin, even if Saido was to go - which I don't think will happen. We need a playmaker and/or a winger, what is the point in signing quality strikers if we can't even pass the ball twice in a row, let alone supply them with chances?

£5m for Glenn Murray? Football is getting ridiculous.

Would Phillips be your first choice ? 

Out of all of the current targets that have been rumoured, then yes, as Phillips can play both as the winger or through the middle as a playmaker who runs at the defence like Sess.

I'd have liked to have seen us get Sako from the dingles as, on a free, he would have been a very good option as he is showing at Palace. Also, Antonio from Forest would have been a good signing as he scores goals from the wing, but Phillips edges it for me due to the versatility I mentioned above.

In an ideal world we would have got a quality winger, as well as a specialist playmaker like Praet who was linked but as I said at the time wouldn't have been a Pulis choice. But with less than 24 hours left I think Phillips hits two birds with one stone and tbh may be the only player we manage to bring in.
