S-Clarke Posted 12 July, 2009 Share Posted 12 July, 2009 http://www.plymouth.vitalfootball.co.uk/article.asp?a=161045 Plymouth Argyle are set to announce the signing of former Southampton striker Bradley Wright-Phillips. The 24-year old frontman is available as a free agent after his three-year contract with the Saints expired in June. The Pilgrims' are expected to announce the signing of Wright-Phillips early this week and his first appearance in a Green shirt could be in the pre-season friendly against Torquay United on Wednesday. Wright-Phillips is the biological son of former Arsenal and England striker Ian Wright and half-brother of England winger Shaun Wright-Phillips. The 5-foot 8-inch tall striker signed for Southampton from Manchester City in 2006 for a £750,000 transfer fee and has a league career goal-scoring record of 24 goals from 143 appearances, although 84 of those were as a substitute.

SaintBobby Posted 12 July, 2009 Share Posted 12 July, 2009 Not gutted if true - but highlights the need to get in a pacey striker. Preferabky one who understands the offside rule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew Le God Posted 12 July, 2009 Share Posted 12 July, 2009 When he puts his mind to it he can be a very good player as this "carefully edited" video shows.

qwertySFC Posted 12 July, 2009 Share Posted 12 July, 2009 When he puts his mind to it he can be a very good player as this "carefully edited" video shows. People on this board are wrong that he lacked ability. Shame it didn't happen much. Prime example of a player who relyed to much on his associations and let the club down off the field , did not realise how lucky he was to be playing for SFC, shame he did not make full advantage of that luck and put his professon first.

Mr X Posted 12 July, 2009 Share Posted 12 July, 2009 Sometimes he was good when he came on a sub imo, but he just couldn't perform consistantly over a whole game.

red&white56 Posted 12 July, 2009 Share Posted 12 July, 2009 after watching that vid i wanna see him stay! This is a big loss, his attitude may not have been fantastic but he clearly has the skill to go past defenders. A decent manager could have, imo, made him a key player for our promotion.

Bailey Posted 12 July, 2009 Share Posted 12 July, 2009 Ideally I'd like him to stay as I think he could score 15+ goals in League One under the right management, but won't be surprised if he does leave. If he does go, which is looking increasingly likely, then I wish him all the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offix Posted 12 July, 2009 Share Posted 12 July, 2009 Clean slate at all levels please, and a new level of commitment and integrity. No place for thieves and liars. No matter what the legal outcome was, he can never again be trusted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smirking_Saint Posted 12 July, 2009 Share Posted 12 July, 2009 He is a terrible player, always straying offside, runs around like a headless chicken and very rarely will you ever see him score a 1 on 1. Ok, every now and again he does something slightly predictable but for that to be a positive quality in a striker you need him to at least consistently perform well and so the bread and butter things like score 1 on 1's.

Stu Man Do Posted 12 July, 2009 Share Posted 12 July, 2009 Could have been a decent player with us, clearly needs some half decent guidance, something our recent managers clearly haven't been very good at! Has pace and to be fair some of his finishes are superb execution wise, just look at the goal vs Charlton this season. Has something about him but fitness is a major issue in my mind, just look at how good he was 1st half vs burnley against how knackered he looked 2nd half where he had little effect. Think the video sums him up unfortunately, 6 mins of quality over what? 3 years! :-p I'd keep him on reduced wages else good luck at Plymouth.

sidthesquid Posted 12 July, 2009 Share Posted 12 July, 2009 He's plays like a twelve year old who thinks he's the best in the playground. My lad's team (now under sixteen) have couple like that - plenty of potential talent but no ability whatsoever to transfer it into something useful. At under twelve or fourteen everyone thinks their the bees b*ll*cks, at sixteen they struggle to make the starting eleven. This will be his last big payday & I will be glad if it's not us giving it to him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ManorHouseSaint Posted 12 July, 2009 Share Posted 12 July, 2009 Good luck to the lad I say...I think people are being very harsh on him. He was never the greatest player, granted. But he never really got a good run in the team to show his potential. A bit part player. Would do very well at this level. The people still giving him grief about the robbing incident - just let it go. For one, he didn't actually steal anything, he just stood there laughing like an idiot (Though, in no way am I condoning his part in what happened). But to call him a liar and a thief is a joke. Let's move on. People need to be given second chances (who hasn't made mistakes in their lives and not looked back and regretted something that they have done?), and I agree with Dicko and think under the right manager directing him and coaching him he would thrive... Good luck BWP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
