That would be awesome if we could get him in

 

[fishhhandaricecake]

Interesting, he’s 18.
Anyone know how good he is if he’d be one of our say 4 CB choices this season or if just another for the future and if so why is he being flown out to the first team in Asia ?

 

[freeeki]

Never heard of the lad.

But he’s 6’4” and from East Manchester.

Absolute nails. Get him in.

 

[Montalbano]

Great signing.

Current Football League apprentice of the year (Jude Bellingham won this award around the same age at Birmingham City).

Exactly the type of player we should be signing to develop behind Romero. Now bring in a top LCB

 

[Tucker]

Wasn’t he Fred Elliot’s nephew in Corrie.

I say wasn’t he Fred Elliot’s nephew in Corrie.

Do enjoy these out of nowhere signings

'Speaking in November 2021, then first team manager Tony Mowbray described Phillips as "phenomenal" and as well as being 6 ft 4' tall he commented on his ball playing ability, stating: "He's fast, mobile and can pass it really well. He can use both feet, he's composed..if you were to create a defender in the mould of how you would want one, this kid has got every attribute.'

6ft 4, mobile, two footed, 18 years old with first team experience with Blackburn. England under 19 player. Sounds like exactly the sort of kid we need to be focusing on. Utd and Chelsea have both been monitoring him

We were linked before iirc.

EDIT: yes, we were.

Love that!!! If our recruitment is going back in this direction then happy days.

Go Get

On the positive side, several of the Blackburn fans are incandescent that the price seems to be £2m. They believe him to be worth much more.

On the other hand, one of them wrote

"I don't see the same quality in Ash as I did in Phil Jones many years ago, but I might be wrong"

 

[Wig]

Were a few links to him last summer. Interesting to see it resurface

 

[tottenhamlad]

If this is our home grown option and a lot cheaper maybe we can spend the extra and get Tapsoba.

 

[glacierSpurs]

A signing like Son that happened out of the blue. Love it. But I must admit I don't know this kid. If he's to be put on the plane immediately to join up with the team at Bangkok he must be real good and wanted.

 

[synththfc]

A great potential signing, this is always the type of player we should be looking at as a 3rd/4th choice. Now we NEED a top LCB, but this is a great second CB signing on paper.

 

[Oscar22]

Never watched him, is he first team, perhaps 3rd/4th choice ready?

 

[mark87]

If he immediately goes to join the lads on the tour then that says a lot about his ability I'd say.

 

[Joshua]

He’s a great prospect, happy with this
