I think Phillips would be an astute addition. A proper Moyes type signing - fallen off at his last club City, performed poor in a West Ham side he wasn't really too well suited too, but has shown he can do it to a high standard previously.
Phillips, is one of those that will fit Dyche big time, you look at what he did for Leeds and has done for England, and if that Phillips turns up it would be a solid addition. He's fantastic without the ball, but can also be trusted with the ball too.
People need to be realistic, even when we sell players for larger sums, it's not going to be like for like replacements. Loan signings for Phillips an Harrison, if they could be sealed this early on, would be fantastic punctuality from KT.
We always moan players turn up with little to no pre-season to go, if we can get these two in now, then it would be great to know to some extent what the manager is working with, and it gives Dyche every opportunity to work with Phillips to get him seamless transitioned into the side tactically and physically.
