Why off the pitch? I’ve never heard anything. In fact the complete opposite. Patrick Bamford cited him as the nicest guy in football on his podcast with Joe Wilkinson. Pep constantly said what a model professional he is. Always seems a decent fella - am I missing something?

From an integral part of an England starting 11, to being a strong favourite for championship football next season. I would have gone abroad if I was him for one last payday. Maybe the MLS or Saudi

Good acquisition for Ipswich although I expect they are paying a high loan fee and wages.

Still has 4 years left on his alleged 150k a week Man City deal. No wonder he can’t be arsed anymore.

Not sure thats very fair on Barkley. Phillips was never in his league.

Good to see Ipswich putting up a battle.

Not against relegation of course - no chance - but a couple of more additions like this and they should be able to reach 20 points.

I thought the same when he went to West Ham.

I suspect that Ipswich wont be paying a loan fee and no more than half of his wages.

West Ham paid £3m for half a season, so it could potentially be costing £6m.

After his period at West Ham I very much doubt City would be able to command the same amount.

I think Ipswich are being written off far too soon. Like Luton last year. Yes, I know they were eventually relegated but I thought Luton had the right mentality for the fight — unlike Burnley and Sheff Utd. I’ve seen a lot in Ipswich and their manager to impress me. Equally, you’d be mad to write off Kalvin Phillips. He must know he’s been given a great opportunity here, and has to take it. Main danger is that they have a tough start against Liverpool and City, then Brighton and Villa shortly after. If they get pummelled in all these games they might struggle to recover. But I’d still bet on them to survive.

Holding out for 12 months and hoping his mentor and biggest cheerleader Gareth Southgate bags a club job somewhere?

I think he will keep his huge city contract until the end and be loaned out to ever decreasing clubs.

Good early shout there. I kind of agree. Interesting to see how they do against saints.

I agree about Ipswich. I disagree about Philips.
