Bournemouth are thrilled to announce the signing of Nat Phillips on loan until the end of the season.
Surely shuts the door on any lingering hopes that #ReadingFC had of signing Rhys Williams on loan.
Liverpool wanted to keep Phillips or Williams as fifth choice centre-back and the former has now left.
To be perfectly honest, I'm actually quite glad we haven't signed him. Our defensive issues are not going to go away with a teenage centre back who has, what, 20 first team appearances to his name?
The names that have been linked over the last couple of days are players that are probably League One quality and I'd probably put Hein in that category as well. We'd be better off just shutting our doors now and saying nothing will happen, I'd prefer that over this lot.
Agree with this. I feel signing Rhys Williams would have been the final piece of the relegation jigsaw. If we can’t sign an experienced CB then there’s little point as I’d rather see our own youngsters given the chance.
