This whole Philogene saga.. 18:18 - Jan 12 with 4348 views | Jimmy86 | If we're being messed around by his tinpot agent, it's about time the club put that out in the public domain.. Philogene is his top client.. the only other players he has on his books are U21 players.. would we suffer, if we called him out and said that he's a nightmare to deal with? |  | | |  |

This whole Philogene saga.. on 18:21 - Jan 12 with 4234 views | nrb1985 | Not sure what that achieves? Those in the game are the only ones who have any material contact with him and if he is a weapon as has been suggested then I'd hazard a guess that is well known. It's a very small community football and might be the reason he only has U21 players on his books. |  | |  |

What would it achieve? It would put the ball well and truly in their court and would put our fan base in the picture, as to why this hasn't been concluded yet.. As you say, there's a reason he only has U21 players and Philogene.. bloke seems like a prize whopper |  | |  |
This whole Philogene saga.. on 18:26 - Jan 12 with 4063 views | ArnieM | Maybe it’s time to walk away from this time waster. The player has a voice and opinion if he REALLY wants to come here, he should tell his employee ( agent) to get it done. If not, cheerio. We need another striker more than another winger. |  |

This whole Philogene saga.. on 18:29 - Jan 12 with 3921 views | berkstractorboy | What if it's not the agent but Villa holding out until they have a replacement. I have seen comments from Villa fans this maybe the case. The point is lots of reasons so we can't call anyone out right now. If it's his agent I am not sure MA would let this drag out and we would move on. The total lack of any media noise suggests to me it might still be on just waiting for Villa to be happy. |  | |  |
This whole Philogene saga.. on 18:32 - Jan 12 with 3836 views | wkj | Sad thing is, we see his agent as Tinpot - but he's played a blinder this season. Potentially orchestrating two big money moves in 1 season - Philogene and his agents will be quids in, which in some ways might make him a bit of a genius agent. |  |

This whole Philogene saga.. on 18:34 - Jan 12 with 3758 views | Hipsterectomy | If McKenna/Ashton couldn’t convince him the first time, Delap and Greaves, McKenna apparently having a phone call with him to outline the plan for him and why he should join and going in twice for him in 6 months, I have no idea where his head is at or where he thinks he lies in the football pyramid. Move on and let someone else deal with him |  |

I guess there is that... but, it's reported he's passed his medical, that we'd agreed a fee with Villa and agreed terms with the player.. now there's no news at all |  | |  |
This whole Philogene saga.. on 19:08 - Jan 12 with 3191 views | tonybied | People just need to chill out, we had a similar delay when we signed George Hirst permanently. It could be for a multitude of reasons. The reactions of some of the fan base is rather over the top. It's probably why Aston was so keen to keep things under a lid and showed displeasure at people trying to be the first to get a scoop. The reaction to Hirst was absurd, with fans chasing him down in his car and following him to his digs just after he'd signed for us 24hr news has a lot to answer for in this world, people are just so used to getting fed a line 24/7 that they freak out when no one speaks for a few days. Have some patience, it'll all come out in the wash in the end! |  | |  |

A sensible post at last. When you read some of the comments in this and other threads, it does make you wonder how people cope in the real world. |  | |  |

I certainly agree with what you said regarding Hirst signing on a permanent deal.. to follow him all over town was unacceptable and so cringe! |  | |  |

Not to mention the sale from Villa to Hull 18 months ago - building up his Philogene retirement fund! |  | |  |

Too right me ol' Fruit. His pension is going to be tidy by the time he retires. |  |

This whole Philogene saga.. on 10:19 - Jan 13 with 1377 views | CityBlue | The same agent that turned up at Barcelona training grounds unannounced. Guy is a tin pot for sure. |  |

This whole Philogene saga.. on 10:28 - Jan 13 with 1245 views | CityBlue | ...I will also add, that as his current agent is literally so new to the whole role, that the paperwork their end is woefully short of the standard required and with significant tax implications I can only assume our own club FD is asking a lot of questions. The agency in question only formed in July last year and have not filed returns etc and their company profile makes for very interesting reading. |  |
