One deal as good as done

Crystal Palace have agreed to cancel the remainder of Kevin Phillips contract in early January to allow him to join Leeds. The contract is until the end of the season where I believe Phillips plans on retiring.

It's a deal everyone involved was very eager to do, Phillips wants more football in the final months of his career and the prospect of playing for a club such as Leeds and the possibility of helping them reach the Premier League at the end of his career is extremely appealing.

McDermott feels Phillips can make an impact off the bench in the championship, chipping in with vital goals and also feels, that like with Diouf ( who I'm told will be staying ) Phillips experience will be massively beneficial to the likes of Poleon on the training ground.

Like I said, I'm told this is as good as done, all parties are extremely keen on the deal and it's extremely unlikely Phillips will get a better offer.

Seriously? Next you'll be telling us Mark Viduka's returning until the end of the season. Phillips won't offer us anything different to what we've already got, very similar to McCormack apart from he's about 10 years older.

Nearly 20 years older!

Can't see it happening, but I do think the point about his presence on the training ground is something that would be beneficial to some of the youngsters. He does find space, but it's getting the ball to him that could be our problem, because he won't have the legs to put a shift in like MCormack.

If we do have money to spend in jan then I seriously doubt he will be one. U contradict yourself too saying he wants more playing time yet u say he will be coming off the bench! Who's to say he will get on, nicely written but not very believable I'm afraid, there are plenty more out there IF we do have money

Leeds will make a move for Benik Afobe in January. McDermott attempted to get him on loan but failed to do so. Arsenal looking to cash in on the striker as his contract expires at the end of the season.

Will provide more updates when I get them.
