If Philogene only sees us a stepping stone to Barcelona.... on 13:23 - Jul 5 with 4629 views | MidlandBlue25 | That's a poor opinion to be honest. Even if he gives us one great season and leaves. It might be enough to keep us up which is an extra what? £100m+? Then you add the transfer fee we would get. A proven Premier League winger can fetch over £80m+ nowadays easily |  | |  |
If Philogene only sees us a stepping stone to Barcelona.... on 13:25 - Jul 5 with 4577 views | SitfcB | Could be here a couple of seasons at least, who knows if Barca even want him. Perfect for the player trading if so anyway. Ashton will have a big £60mill release clause for Barcelona I reckon |  |

If Philogene only sees us a stepping stone to Barcelona.... on 13:25 - Jul 5 with 4559 views | BiGDonnie | I would. If it meant they sign him after two seasons it would have been because he's smashed it and we'd get a nice profit and would have benefitted from him helping us in the Prem. |  |

If Philogene only sees us a stepping stone to Barcelona.... on 13:26 - Jul 5 with 4552 views | Guthrum | If he's prepared to put in a couple of years hard work for Town, improving both our position and his value, before heading to Spain, that's fair enough by me - so long as it's understood by all. Something like an extended loan, but with the possibility of at least covering our costs at the end. But not if he's going to want to be off after six months. |  |

Or do a straight swap - Philogene to Barca and Yamal to Town with Gundogan as a makeweight. |  | |  |

Exactly this and just like Hull have to sell to build we may have to sign and sell to move forward ourselves. Progress is the key and I’d rather sign players who’s dream is Barcelona than let’s say M.Chopra who’s ambition is to pay off his next gambling debt. No offence meant to anyone struggling with addiction. |  |

If Philogene only sees us a stepping stone to Barcelona.... on 13:48 - Jul 5 with 3964 views | RobTheMonk | Dreams of playing for Barcelona. Plans on playing for a Premier League team. Tears it up, goes to Barcelona, Premier League team profits. Nothing wrong with that. Ipswich would be a perfect stepping stone as such. |  | |  |
If Philogene only sees us a stepping stone to Barcelona.... on 13:50 - Jul 5 with 3908 views | Cafe_Newman | Whoosh or not, the maturity of Philogene and his agent is a bit concerning. I'm not sure I really want him at the club if this is what we're gonna get: "When I grow up I want to play for Barcelona". Bizarre [Post edited 5 Jul 2024 13:52]

If Philogene only sees us a stepping stone to Barcelona.... on 13:51 - Jul 5 with 3873 views | JackSwan | Barcelona aren't going to want him if he's playing badly for whoever he moves to. He'll need to prove himself at his new club. |  | |  |
If Philogene only sees us a stepping stone to Barcelona.... on 13:51 - Jul 5 with 3862 views | GlasgowBlue | If we have him for two years and he is deemed good enough to go to Barcelona then he will have performed very well for us. |  |

I remember Ipswich fans genuinely moaning when Roy Keane was appointed that he saw us as a stepping stone to Man U and seemingly didn't realise the quality of job he'd have to do to make that leap! |  |

Yup. Didn't think Joe would stoop to such levels! |  |

If Philogene only sees us a stepping stone to Barcelona.... on 13:57 - Jul 5 with 2209 views | Woolfenthen | ridiculous, imagine how good he would have to be here in order for Barcelona to come calling. Not only would we get an unbelievable season or 2 out of him but also a massive transfer fee. Signing a player with lofty ambitions is hardly a bad thing, of course we would all want a decent player to stay forever but these players are not ITFC fans like us, if we can benefit from him and he benefits from us, then we reinvest a fortune. |  | |  |
