4 | Kalvin Phillips - 2024/25

[Alan Harper's Tash]

He's still on our books, so couldn't play

We appealed the decision, but failed.

 

[hcblue95]

Noticed he wasn't even in the squad the other evening. Is he injured again? I wish him well, and think he can hold down a place in one of the upper Championship sides, or maybe bottom third PL side, but his career needs to move on, now.

Why would he move on when we're paying him 5 times what those clubs would pay him?

 

[merz]

As others have mentioned, he wasn’t eligible to play. However, I did see him on the ipswich bench watching the game.

Did they not abolish the rule that a loaned player can't play against his club?

No

Seemingly not in PL

I think they can play in UCL though

[Lovebitesandeveryfing]

Not eligible.

Fair point. Given the scoreline, was probably happy not to be eligible.

Cancelo played against us quite recently for Bayern

It’s his best position to be fair, he excels at it

 

[Brewster's millions]

Could he do any worse than our midfield did tonight?

Genuine question.

 

[OrigamiNinja]

Could he do any worse than our midfield did tonight?

Genuine question.

Yes.

 

[DMA's]

Could he do any worse than our midfield did tonight?

Genuine question.

Yes.

 

[Brewster's millions]

Yes.

Before tonight I would have agreed with you - I think he’s garbage - but it’s all relative and after watching Kovacic tonight I’m not so sure now.

At the very least he has a bit of a nasty streak in him, which seems completely absent from our team right now.

 

[IrishBlueSince92]

Yes, he's useless

 

[Xhavenjoe]

Yes, he's useless

You're exaggerating
He's not that good

 

[Damanino]

he looked out of place in the treble season, he would fit right in currently imo, we dropped a lot...

 

[Keeper!]

Could he do any worse than our midfield did tonight?

Genuine question.

Stupid question, he struggles to start games for Ipswich.
