Not sure on Phillips, not really stood out in the Championship although he did have a reasonable season. For a relatively cheap fee he might be worth a punt. I still think you have to go back to Jerome Thomas for the last winger signing that actually worked out for us. We've been unacceptably bad in that department for the past 6 seasons, its a real disadvantage going into every single season with the worst set of wingers in the league - especially considering its a leauge that virtually revolves around wingers and pace with us coming up against the likes of Mahrez, Hazard, Sanchez, Bolasie, Zaha, Montero, Antonio etc. every week and the only threat we can muster is Gardner and McClean...
