In one of the more outlandish rumours of the month during the January transfer window, Shaun Wright Phillips has been linked with a move to Notts County.

Nobody has seen much of SWP in the capital these days. In fact it’s a disappearance Lord Lucan would be proud of.

His QPR manager Harry Redknapp says the winger is happy sit on a “fantastic contract” and won’t move because nobody can get near his reported £65,000-a-week mega wages.

According to Redknapp, SWP has turned down offers to go to Championship clubs Charlton, Bolton and Blackburn over recent months.

 

But, we hear you say, Shaun Derry knows Redknapp – having played for him at QPR and Nottingham is a lovely city.

SWP knows it well having started his career at Nottingham Forest before going on to become an England international following moves to Chelsea and Manchester City.

One fan, Paulie Richardson, tweeted Wright-Phillps, saying: Hi Shaun hope you’re well! Any truth in the rumour you’re off to Notts County on loan??

So could a deal be struck which could see him join the Mapgies on loan?

Our answer? Unlikely.

The Nottingham Post seem desperate to clutch straws after suggesting Liam Noble would be the best signing Notts could expect in the 'quiet' January trasfer window. Basically expect the opposite when they suggest something, it's quite pathetic really. So in this case, I think it's safe to say Bradley Wright-Phillips is on his way in!!!

also why would Shaun reject a chance of playing with his brother, yet opt to sign for Shaun and us? Possibly the best question, if the Post think it's unlikely why are they reporting it?

Thoughts?

Highly unlikely but hey stranger things have happened over the years as far as Notts are concerned.

Usually they have some form of merit to them, I see no reason why this would.

The Derry connection isn't enough, plus why would he reject Championship scores? It seems they've been listening to those stupid rumour sites rather than keeping their tabs to the ground or doing proper jounalism. It's like me writing about Thierry Henry is set to replace Shaun Derry because he knows the tea bar lady in KOPs alcohol (no insult intended or comparison to SD, just wanted to say something that sounded funny).

He wouldn't come here, not whilst earning the amount he's reported to be on. Secondly it wasn't that long ago that he was being linked with a move to Forest!

I can't see it....

I think it might have been made up on MAD ... this isn't going to happen. Shaun Derry places a lot of emphasis on making sure a player has the right character for the team. Would a player who has said he'd rather sit on his hands and pocket his money than go out on loan really fit the bill? And would we be able to pay for him if Championship clubs couldn't?

Seriously? Oh Dear. Not even a 1% chance of this happening. Guaranteed prediction by the HD weather service.

This is just a filler for the paper on a day when they couldn't be arsed to write a proper story.

 

Not going to happen.

Can't see it. Just a poor man's JCR. 

This would have to be put on the Sensations Threadif this happens ha ha ha ha

anyone notice how they are saying it was doubtful and never going to happen? why write it then!

supposedly thousands read the article, they should not make up news!!
