KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Kop to pip Arsenal to another midfielder...

Liverpool are winning their battle with Arsenal for Shaun Wright-Phillips.

The England winger has been told he can leave Manchester City for about £7million. But Arsenal are unwilling to pay him more than the £65,000 a week he earns at City.

That has opened the door for Roy Hodgson to beat Arsene Wenger again after the Liverpool boss persuaded Joe Cole to move to Anfield ahead of the Emirates.

Wright-Phillips turned down City's offer of a £10,000-a-week wage hike at the end of last season.

Roberto Mancini preferred Adam Johnson and Craig Bellamy on the flanks late last season and will add Aston Villa's James Milner to his squad this week after also signing David Silva from Valencia.

would be a great signing if true, especially for 7 million!!

what you guys think??

If 7mill is the correct figure I'd say hell yeah bring him to Anfield.

Bring him here if he's that price. We should have bought him years ago. He still can do the job.

7million is a bargain sign the boy up roy. we badly need a pacy winger an he fits the bill

We should also steal Ben Arfa from Newcastle. The boy can really play if he sorts his head out.

Sorry to disagree with everyone so far but it sounds like we all have a touch of the "he's english so hes good"'s because in my memory, in recent times he has been little more than a flop and the two clubs who wanted him, one being a top club the other being a club who aspires to be at the top, don't want him. A club that goes for 2nd rate players are a 2nd rate club. Must do better than SWP.

For 7m then I would get him as you ain't going to get much better for that amount of money.

he is ten times better than kuyt on the right. for me, kuyt isnt good enough and when you looked at the team sheet last season (gerrard, lucas, kuyt/yossi, reira/babel, torres/ngog) compared with this season (if we get SWP)- (gerrard, lucas, cole, Jovanovic, SWP, torres). For me, getting SWP would be a massive improvement and I for one, would absolutely cack myself if i saw that lineup against me. much better. We need a winger that goes past defenders not a player that runs around all game and every now and again scores a goal! We need to play attacking football and SWP would be an awesome buy! and he is english!

personally think it would be a great signing.

What we have to understand is. Although we were once a great club. We are not the club of choice for most world class players. Hopefully Roy can create and lift us to level that wan'ts players to be involved.

Wright phillips. brings premier league experience. Brings excitement. Brings width.


Without Doubt. Roy is putting together a team that will be exciting to watch.

Living in Australia. Im not to keen at getting up at 2 in the morning to watch Liverpool play at International friendly pace and go defensive when there at home.

he would definitely be an improvement to the squad and like others have said, you won't get better for that kind of money and usually english players are far too over-priced.

we need some good attacking options coming off the bench, i reckon he would offer a different dimension to the likes of kuyt and maxi.

some people are talking about him being out of favour, but take a look at what he's up against. i remember when mark hughes re-signed him and he was playing week in week out he was on fire. if every top half team gave up on players like him then joe cole would still be looking for a new club.

i dont think he had the best world cup but i believe he would be a good signing for sure and pretty much all fans would welcome it.
