Hi Ed002, quick question.

Is Nat Phillips expected to leave in January? Many seem to think this is the case with potential permanent offers coming in and Rhys Williams being recalled from his loan.

Hoping it gives us funds for a midfielder. Is the club interested in Kouadio Kone? He seems to be a good affordable option.

Thanks.

{Ed002's Note - Tough to say but with Williams returning it is possible if an offer arrives.

Manu Kouadio Kone (CM/DM) Prior interest of Milan has gone. Newcastle did approach Borussia Muenchegladbach but they will resist a sale and try and agree a new deal. RBL are keen to add Kone to replace Laimer. Watched by a number of Premier League sides including West Ham, Chelsea, Liverpool and Brighton. A wildcard maybe PSG. Way down the list for Chelsea but Vivell may push for him - which could spell the end for Loftus Cheek.}

Ed002 do West Ham still hold an interest in him, with Dawson leaving them do you think they will be looking for a replacement.
Think it would be a great move for the player and would suit david moyes football more than Klopps.

{Ed002's Note - Nathaniel Phillips (CB) Bournemouth may still like a deal, but at the right price. West Ham may offer an option with Dawson and Ogbonna at the end of their careers but he would be down the list of targets they have. Sven Mislintat could be interested in taking him to Stuttgart. Up to now Liverpool have overpriced fringe players making them difficult to sell.
