Phil O’Gene 01:25 - Jan 12 with 6900 views | NeverSayDie | Later today, we could see him at the game, and that will settle everyone down, but even if we don’t, it doesn’t mean he isn’t coming. Is it taking longer than we’d like for confirmation? Sure We know he’s completed a medical and passed,we know we agreed the fee with Villa. We know he spoke to McKenna ahead of the medical and wanted to sign for us. We know he agreed personal terms with us in the Summer and Villa hijacked the deal (the ba5tards). We can assume, with great confidence that he is unhappy at Villa and wants to leave to get more minutes, ironically the same reason he left in the first place! (I have no idea what McKenna told him, but is he guaranteed minutes for us?) If a player is unhappy, it’s bad for the squad morale and that probably explains Emery’s weird response in the presser when asked about Phil, he probably wants him to fight for a place. At the end of the day, Villa knew we’d take him and they’d make a ton of wedge for doing nowt, over a very short period of time, happy days for them (the ba5tards). If Phil is unveiled soon, awesome, if not, we can blame Villa (the ba5tards) [Post edited 12 Jan 1:26]

Phil O’Gene on 08:01 - Jan 12 with 5604 views | Blue_Heath | From what we know the hold up can only be the player or the agent. I don't believe this 'paperwork' nonsense. Deals get done in a day on deadline day yet we are stating we hope to have him available for next Thursday which is a week away. His agent is definitely holding out to see what else there is or the player doesn't want to come. |  | |  |
Phil O’Gene on 08:28 - Jan 12 with 5431 views | franz_tyson | I'm cool with (almost) every situation.... If he signs.... id welcome him and I'll back the club's judgement on him as a talent OR If he's off elsewhere ... then good riddance - we dodged a time-wasting bullet and we've got a few weeks to spend our cash more wisely. What I wouldn't want is a "is he or isn't he" situation and I'd expect the club to move on if that was the case. Can't say I've got myself excited about it yet. More interested in a 9. |  | |  |

This is just (more) speculation without substance. Paperwork that gets completed on deadline day is normally the results of several weeks, of preparation leading up to deadline day. Deadline day deals is just finalising what has been being planned during the transfer window, and just waiting for the final 'nod'. Often waiting for other links in a complex chain of other players moving to come together. The delays with announcing Philogene could easily be paperwork related, waiting for final pieces to come together (and yes, if one of the pieces doesn't come together, the deal could still be off). |  | |  |

Or it could be his agent touting him to anybody who’ll listen. |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

This completely sums up my thoughts, not too fussed one way or the other but can’t have it dragging on again |  | |  |

Could be. But that's just speculation without concrete evidence. It could be anything, and just because it's taking a few days to announce / finalise, doesn't tell us anything about the reasons. It could be sinister, it may not be. Conspiracy theorists will always assume something untoward. Critical thinkers will not jump to conclusions, and wait to see/hear some facts, or there's an announcement. |  | |  |
Phil O’Gene on 11:22 - Jan 12 with 4395 views | The_Major | Ah, but if he is there, who is to say Villa haven't accepted a £100k offer from Bristol Rovers, and he's taking a massive pay cut to head off west? Wibble. |  | |  |

Or…….it could be done and dusted but Villa are waiting on getting one in before letting him leave on a permanent deal. [Post edited 12 Jan 11:27]

Very unlikely - that would have been reported on the Villa end at the time he was made available if it were the case. |  |

They’ll bring him back, they always bring us back. Then he’ll think it’s still Thursday and he’ll have lost 5 day. But, he’ll keep getting flashback of being probed on a stainless steel table. They did tests on me. [Post edited 12 Jan 12:07]

The Earth always has been a popular fishing holiday destination for ETs. They always throw their catch back unless something goes wrong. There are no records of humans who claim to have been abducted covered in cooking sauce. I think he's safe. |  |
