Think he deserves his own thread

West Bromwich Albion are making headway in their pursuit of QPR winger Matt Phillips and have also offered a new contract to coach Gerry Francis.

24-year-old Phillips has become Tony Pulis’ top transfer target and lengthy negotiations with QPR appear to be paying dividends.

QPR were looking for around £7 million for a player who was bought from Blackpool two years ago for £5million.

Pulis is also keen to keep Francis at The Hawthorns.

Francis is out-of-contract after joining Albion in the middle of January in a move that saw Paul Jewell quit after just a few days at the helm.

There have been reports that Francis has been in talks with QPR about re-joining the Loftus Road club.

Francis still lives in London and clearly the commute is far from ideal but Albion are confident he will put pen to paper.

I hope we get him and this thread goes on for a long time but I have a feeling that's being too optimistic.

Prove me wrong please!

Offer QPR 20 million for Phillips and Austin. You know it makes sense. JP's last present for us all. 8) (If he does leave).

I can see JP doing more farewell tours than Tina Turner  8)

I can see this deal being linked in with one for Austin if we are serious about him. I think he will be our marquee winger and judging on the second half of last season it'll be a great buy if we can get him.
