Philogene any closer? Nearly always take approach of not talking about it, but they've said he's leaving. Player we like, tried ot bring in previous windows, so would like to bring him in. Jaden really keen to come to club, slightly longer process than hoped. Desire to be part of the project, as he was in the summer when his expressed desire to come here. In the end impossible with contractual situation with Villa. Player we know well, like and would like to bring to club. Complicated deal for club to do, signed five-year deal in the summer. Villa have to get best deal for club, representative has to do best deal for the player. And club has to do best deal for itself. Complicated deal to do, some progress today, not completed yet, then something we want to do. | | | |

Chelsea win, changes narrative, no longer the question about home wins. For players, more performance and get a victory over top Chelsea team brought confidence. | | | |

Not favourite in any game, Chelsea win sets Thursday up well. Not particularly concerned re resting players on Sunday, but opportunity to rest people meant players go into game fresh against a team that, like us, run a lot. | | | |

Any news on Omari, any chance of him playing tomorrow?
Is Wes OK to play?
I assume that Chappers and Sammie are a way off yet.
Axel must be close to being involved too?? |  | | |

Brighton's journey fantastic, incredible work to establish themselves as they have. Brighton were four or five years at top of the division investing on and off the field, different to when we got promoted, same as Brentford when they got promoted as well. Not sure there is a reference for us to take as an example to follow. We're doing what we feel is right but we're on our own journey, certainly not in the modern Premier League. But Brighton an example to every club in the world in terms of way they're run, but we're our own story. But have our own advantages, 30,000 crowd. | | | |

Brighton away one of most difficult we've had, players felt that. Know level of opponent, much better than us on the day, but that's expected given journey. Defensive display excellent, one or two things went our way, but had a good 15 min spell. Need all that again. They've played well in most of their games and we'll have to impose ourselves more than we did down there. Good test to see where we're at compared to then. | | | |

Hurzeler similarities in terms of age, very good job at St Pauli, got them promoted. Some similar principles, I think, in terms of what we want from our teams. Communicates very well in media, met him and is a very nice guy. Seems to be doing a good job. | | | |

BHA evolved over season? Had a few changes, had injuries as well, not been as consistent in terms of selection as he would liked them to have been. We played them in the first game Rutter played, been variation since then. Had injuries, got deep squad, can change front four.
Performances better than results? Just competitive nature of PL. Only lost four times in 20-odd games, only top teams lost similar. Couple of their draws could have been turned into wins and they'd be higher in table. When they're goign well, they're a top, top team, but margins tight, which is why they've had too many draws. | | | |

Nice cup draw, statdium with good memories. Competitive Cup tie. Good run last year, not as good a season this year. | | | |

Nothing changed from Sunday injury-wise. Omari not impossible, did work on grass today. Hopeful we'll see him at some stage this week. | | | |

George H has been unlucky, impact from the bench has been good. Vital role in Spurs match and Brighton away. Having him squad positive for me. | | | |

Good options at the back, shorter than we'd want to be up front. Much cleaner bill of health defensively. Axel not too far away either. | | | |

Each individual case different when making Jan signings, have to make judgement calls. Re Philogene, anything KMc can do to speed up? Not for me, other than speaking to him. Player's wish is to join us. If right thing for all parties will get done. | | | |

Definitely his agent being a knob then. |  |

Then it’s trying to sign another striker along with every club in the world!!!
Ben Doak still possible? | | | |

Sounds more like the contractual agreement between Villa, Hull and Philogene when he moved to Hull is the problem here. That and Villa's greed. Sounds like he didn't want to go back to Villa in the summer but was forced to as terms were pre-agreed for any return if the matching clause was triggered. Villa clearly just signed him to make some extra coin from another move this window.
It's not any wonder he doesn't seem to have given his all and looked like he hasn't been enjoying his football if this is the case.
It's just another reason why PSR is a load of tosh, Philogene would've come straight to us without PSR and his career would most likely not have stalled for the last 6 months. [Post edited 15 Jan 14:07]
