He should have been loaned back to Blackburn then. What a waste of a few months of development.

If Philips and Dier are going clearly a CB is now coming.
This HAS to mean Radu Drăgușin is not only coming, but ready to go straight into the team/squad....
Odd loan for Phillips if that is not the case!
He's clearly not ready for the first team.
He should have been left at Blackburn to develop. Great move for him.
We can only have 8 loans though, and with Reggie and Djed returning poses questions.
Leaving Clarke at Leeds was a disaster. Think Phillips is exempt from loan rules as under 21.
Yeah, but not letting him have any meaningful time has been a bit of a waste too.
They have a pretty exciting winger called Morgan Whittaker
I wouldn't bank on that happening (yeah I know it's logical) but ever since Ange has come in his eyes have been very much on the long term and what's best for Tottenham even if that might present an immediate problem today.
The bottom line is Phillips isn't/hasn't going to get game time at Spurs this season, he can't get ahead of our two reserve fullbacks who are ahead of him.
This is a great move for the player and as a consequence great for the Club in the longer run.
Actually. if this article is correct, we can only loan out seven.
How Premier League clubs' loan strategies are set to change
Chelsea and Manchester City are unlikely to return to hoarding top talent and loaning them out despite a relaxation of transfer red tape.

We currently have 3 senior players on loan and 5 U21 including Phillips.
Edit: The article also states U21s are exempt. So we can still loan out 4 more senior players.

Plymouth got a new manager a couple of days ago, Ian Foster, that previously managed some of the England youth teams so he would likely have been aware of Phillips but I think he always managed the age group just above so might not have actually worked with him
