I'm not sure if Glenn does want him, I think he would be a good aquisition. He is a little on the slow side, but works hard. TBH I don't that much about him, only from internationals/CL.

Sunday Mirror -PHILLIPS COULD GO FOR JUST £2m Jun 1 2003

SUNDERLAND are prepared to offload star striker Kevin Phillips for as little as £2million.

The Black Cats are £26.6m in debt and are desperate to cut costs following relegation from the Premiership. Manager Mick McCarthy publicly values his prize asset at around £4m, but Sunderland are yet to receive any firm offers and have privately admitted that they will be forced to accept a much lower price.

A bidding war between Middlesbrough and Tottenham could push the fee up, but otherwise Phillips, 29, could be available for a fraction of the £11m he was worth just two years ago.

"Although the figures being talked about are £4m-£5m, in the current market they could accept as little as £2m," a source revealed.

McCarthy is targeting Republic of Ireland central defender Gary Breen as his first summer signing. But he won't make his move until he has unloaded some of the cash-strapped club's big-name stars.

This ones also doing the rounds. This is from The People

FOOTBALL: HOTLINE: FREDDIE KAN JOINS SPURS - FOR £6M

FREDDIE Kanoute's move to Tottenham is being put on hold - because West Ham want a staggering £6million for the big Frenchman.

Spurs have opened the bidding for Kanoute and are willing to pay just HALF of that sum for the striker who had an injury-hit campaign as Hammers dropped.

Boss Glenn Hoddle will not go much further as he tries to take Kanoute AND Bobby Zamora from Brighton to add more options to his attack

SUCK OUT! £6m my damn azz... no way man.. i think WestHam should be happy to get bloody £2.6m (btw thats the price i want spurs to pay

)

<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote">quote:<HR> PHILLIPS COULD GO FOR JUST £2m <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

Thats good.. but I somehow prefer Kanou..

Jody Morris on free! We should get him! and theres alot of free agents! (read Premiership released list on OTF) I think we should get Jurgen Macho too

groovyslick · 06-01-2003, 06:49 PM

Macho's gone to Chelsea and he's not actually very good - it would be like me saying someone like Iverson is a world beater because he scored one or two goals and had a good game.

All you lot have seen are one or two highlights or two or three games, where his shot stopping has been excellent. The majority of the time his general handing is pathetic and even though he done well in 3/4 games this season, he still cost us one of them.

Thats not even going into the Chelsea game where he cost us two goals, or what about Ziege's 30 yard effort in the 01/02 season?

Hope not, he'll still want £30k a week and he's as injury prone as anyone we've got.

Plus I think GH is looking to reduce the average age of the squad to prevent another post christmas burnout
