As I heard somebody say on a podcast yesterday, if Phillips doesn't want to be 5th choice he can leave but not until January. Phillips will be costing the club peanuts and it makes perfect sense to keep him (+ maybe even Williams) around until you're comfortable with with the recovery of VVD, Gomez and Matip. By January the club will have a clear idea of where they stand with all 3 and whether they're going to need a 5th or 6th CB.
In other news, there's a few reports coming out of Belgium linking us with Tielemans. No idea if there's any truth in them and there's certainly nothing concrete being reported over here but I like Tielemans and wanted us to go for him 2 seasons ago before he made his move to Leicester permanent.
