Much like Phil said. Everything coming from the Hull side is we are getting him. Everything from Philogenes side (agent) is Everton are. Hull appear financially better off if we do the deal. With that in mind I do hope the player is 100% committed. Just speculation on my part obviously. |  |

I do hope we can agree a deal for just Greaves if double falls through. He would be the key player in this deal imo. |  |

I have to say that whilst I having nothing to back it up that is my hunch too. |  | |  |

Exactly. The double deal means Greaves fee can be inflated so that they don’t have to give Villa as much of a sell on fee and also Greaves classes as pure profit due to being from the academy |  |

Makes no sense that his agents going to Everton then? |  |

Because *Hull* want to sell them to us. JP's agent can probably coin it in a bit more from Everton... |  | |  |

Some internet sleuths saying the pictures of him there were taken a few days ago so could well be being posted now to try and create 'late drama' to force us to give Philogene (and therefore himself) a better deal. |  |

Yes this is the key. Clever by us but I do hope the player wants in here. Obviously he’s been spoken to by management. 16 million is interesting considering Hull sources are saying 40 (both) I suspect Hull need money for financial fair play reasons and are inflating the price to appease and justify sale to fans.

I’ll use the same argument I used with the previous hoohah over McKenna, the agent works for the client and if the client isn’t happy with what the agent is doing then it doesn’t happen. I might be in a minority here but I’m not getting the impression that the player is sold on coming to us in which case I d rather he didn’t! |  | |  |

There's absolutely nothing from the player to suggest he doesn't want to come here. He has aspirations, which is fine. Because if he plays for us like he wants a move to Barca, that can only be a good thing for us. |  |

I read it as he wants premier league football. Probably would prefer Everton, but Hull need the money. Double sale financially better for them. They can inflate Greaves price so smaller sell on to Villa. We are probably saying will only deal when both complete. Hence delay. Suspect he’ll come here in the end as Everton won’t agree a fee with Hull. Ultimately the selling club has the power. |  |

His agent met with Everton 3 days ago, he's been trying to engineer a bidding war to increase what he can earn from a deal. The way Ipswich have constructed the double deal I'm not sure Everton would be able to compete given their PSR limitations at the moment. Smart move by Ashton. |  | |  |

It makes no difference from a FFP point of view. Extra profit on one deal is balanced by less on the other. Would make a difference re the sell on clause though. However if Villa have matching rights for Philogene then Hull won’t want to deflate the price if we could still pull out of the Greaves deal. |  | |  |

Indeed, I can confirm that's the case. And that Philogene doesn't even exist. I made him up. The clue is in the name. |  | |  |
