So, apparently Rhys Williams is leaving on loan to Swansea. If that is the case then I cannot see Phillips leaving in this window.

When you consider Van Dijk, Matip and Gomez's long term injury issues last season, not to mention Konate's issue with injuries himself, we need an able bodied player to fill in when needed, and give players a rest.

Cannot see any other activity taking place, however. Fingers crossed this does not bite us on the ass.

I will be Happy if Phillips stays, we will need him. We need 5 cbs this season as you say.

Good move for him.

I think we could still get away with Phillips leaving to be honest.

VVD, Matip, Gomez, Konate + Fabinho and youth CBs is plenty under normal circumstances!

VVD seems to be much more robust, only we know Matip and Gomez are made of crisps. There is always a risk but life is a risk.

Glad that itâ€™s championship level and not league one or two. He showed that he can step up and hopefully the lad will have a great season.

I like Nat and I would be happy for him to stay a while longer.

He did a solid job last season and I donâ€™t think he would let us down if called on.

I think to plan for all your centre backs to be injured because it happened once is over kill. If we do not suffer 3 injuries at the same time then there is a good chance Phillips won't get no game time.

Apparently interest is growing in Nat Philips.
He may move yet.

Matip and Gomez wonâ€™t last the season â€¦thatâ€™s guaranteed. Phillips around would mean more weekly wages for FSG to pay â€¦happy with that.

We need at least 14 centre backs. If we donâ€™t then what will we do if 12 of our centre backs get injured?
We also need those kind of centre backs that are worlds class but cheap and they must also not want to play, but be hungry and ready to play when we lose 12 centre backs.

I think Phillips needs to go on loan to a Prem side if no offer to buy comes in. He can't even get on the bench at the moment. Keep his value up.

To the post above regarding we have fabhino as cb cover too! Just no! Did u not see the effect of taking from Peter to feed Paul had on the middle! Fabs isnâ€™t a cb I donâ€™t care if he played there when he was 4!

How many goals did Williams cause last year. very average at best sell him if anyone would buy him and keep Phillips. a good old fashioned centre half.

Iâ€™m sure the club has worked out the fitness levels of our CBs to see what shape they are in and if they are likely to break down or not.
4 senior CBs of VVD, Konate, Matip and Gomez is extremely strong on paper. Thatâ€™s 4 players who would start in the majority of teams in the prem. Philips isnâ€™t getting a look in there.

If Phillips wants to go then he's got every right and with our thanks bit I think players like him give a team some soul, don't know why, I'd be very happy to see him stay.

Phillips has signed a long term contract, so can't see him going anywhere, unless it's a loan.

Nat Phillips just signed a new deal.

Iâ€™ve never heard so much negativity over a player signing a new contract! NP is never going to be as good as VVD, but he did a great job for us last year when he finally got a change and he fully deserves a good contract as without him last year we wouldnâ€™t have got top 4.
