He doesn't always look the part but he's been hugely important for us the past couple years and he's more suited to the role we're asking of him this year than the one he's played in the past couple seasons. Nah he's an appalling passer StevO and c1982 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romey 1878 Posted August 15 Author Report Share Posted August 15 Good luck to him, he'll need it because he'll be expected to protect the defence on his own while the rest of the team go attacking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duncanmckenzieismagic Posted August 15 Report Share Posted August 15 A little bit disappointed by this tbh, we seem very lightweight in CM so if it’s not Phillips then we need to find someone else and fast I wonder if this impacts the Jens Cajuste deal? He was meant to be going to Ipswich and rumours yesterday saying we were trying to hijack the deal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly - I think he’d have been useful for us but not an integral player. For Ipswich however, he could be their ‘main man’. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Already a relationship there, you’d think, with the Lindstrøm deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Matt Tiger Posted August 15 Popular Post Report Share Posted August 15 I wonder if it’ll get awkward when the other players realize he earns the same as the rest of their team combined dunlopp9987, MikeO, Sev and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuffRob Posted August 15 Report Share Posted August 15 31 minutes ago, Matt Tiger said: I wonder if it’ll get awkward when the other players realize he earns the same as the rest of their team combined I imagine its a massive jump in wages from most of the team to Phillips. Paying his full £150k a week wages - almost £7m a year. Glad he is not coming here to be our highest paid player. Club has done the right thing and not sign up to this deal - puts out total the wrong message to the rest of the squad (and that is no matter how well he goes on to do).

He is but like Barkley he won’t keep them up, but I think if fit he’s guaranteed to be on the team sheet every week. Happy we never signed him if the money that’s been said is correct.

Shukes Posted August 16 Report Share Posted August 16 Because they are spending what they haven’t earnt. It’s what happened to us the last few years. We overspent and got punished because of it. StevO and Matt 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously it was a joke, but I’ll entertain it. They have a tiny turnover, they are trying to bring in players who carry big costs, Phillips, Broja, the lad from Napoli, Schmodiks. I question if they can actually afford it. And why would they get relegated? Because statistics show that teams who come up have a hard time staying up.

Matt Tiger Posted August 16 Report Share Posted August 16 I really respect what Ipswich have done the past few seasons and their manager is excellent and will get a lot out of the talent he has, but they were probably the most likely team to get relegated until they starting making these late moves. Now, who knows? It seems strange to me that they would wait until this late in the window to bring in so many starting 11 players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To have them for a couple of months before the season starts cost so much in wages maybe we will do similar in the last week of the window.

Hoof_It_Nev Posted August 16 Report Share Posted August 16 There's no chance Ipswich are paying £13m in fees and wages to have Phillips for one season, is there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haiku Posted August 16 Report Share Posted August 16 15 minutes ago, Hoof_It_Nev said: There's no chance Ipswich are paying £13m in fees and wages to have Phillips for one season, is there? There is. Parachute payments are so generous that I wonder if it's worth going up and back down to the Championship multiple times for the money alone, rather than just scraping by to avoid relegation.
