It seems that Lee Peacock is doing his bit to bring Phillips to the CG
Get Phillips
14th June 2006
LEE Peacock has revealed friend and former teammate Steve Phillips is keen on a move to the County Ground and has urged Town’s new management team to snap him up.
Bristol City goalkeeper Steve Phillips has been placed on the transfer list at Ashton Gate after falling out of favour with Gary Johnson and Town striker Peacock is confident he could be a solution to their number one problems.
Peacock revealed he bumped into Phillips yesterday while on holiday in Majorca, where the City stopper told him he had asked his agent to try and sort out a move to the County Ground for him.
Rhys Evans’ move to Blackpool has left Town boss Dennis Wise without a keeper and Peacock believes Phillips would be the ‘ideal man’ to help earn an immediate return to League One.
He said: “Steve is staying at the same hotel as me and we have all been down to the beach together. He told me how his agent is going to be contacting Swindon to see whether they would be interested in taking him.
“He sounded as though he would love the move to happen and Swindon could do a lot worse than bringing him in as a replacement for Rhys.
“During my time at Bristol City, Steve hardly put a foot wrong. He was, in my opinion, one of the best keepers at that level and still is. I would love him to come and join me here.”
Phillips joined City in November 1996 from local non-league side Paulton Rovers and made his first team debut in December 1998.
A good shot stopper, Phillips had cemented his position as Ashton Gate as first choice until the arrival of Johnson just before Christmas.
Since then, Phillips has been left in the cold and placed on the transfer list, with City yet to receive any bids for him.
Peacock said: “He made the League One team of the year only a couple of seasons back. I don’t know who else Dennis Wise is lining up but for me there are not many better than Phillips.”
Peacock endured a frustrating end to last season through injury and admits a combination of Wise and Gus Poyet’s arrival and the World Cup has got him longing for next campaign.
He said: “I can’t wait. Hopefully Dennis Wise will bring in some good new signings and we will be ready for a good season.”

He'd be a great signing and a logical one, I'd love it.

I'll expect some sort of signing on fee for suggesting we sign him.

he would be a very good signing. not only is he a decent keeper for our level, he also lives relatively local so we wouldn't have to worry about him settling down in a new area, and he knows most of our team already anyway...

He's easily good enough for league two and league one. If there's a chance i'd sign him.

And he actually wants to come here which means he'll want to do well for the club and not just be there for the wages like alot of the players we have now do.

More fuel to this rumour is that Bristol City are signing Weale from Yeovil and now they have him and that dodgy Brazilian they must surely know Philips' fate.
