This whole saga with Greaves and Philogene is really starting to bring back those memories....
What other double swoops have we been in, Dutch or otherwise. |  |

Can't remember names but about 10-15 years go were reported to be after the Portsmouth keeper and centre back which came to nothing I believe the centre back ended up at derby [Post edited 9 Jul 2024 12:31]

Boyd was bang up for joining us. I knew him quite well as his best mate was at uni with me in Leicester. Often came to our union for Sat nights out and crashed at ours. We tried to sign him three times in the two years I socialised with him, but for one reason or another it never got over the line. Dare I say the dreaded agent word again?! | | | |

"but for one reason or another it never got over the line"
The word you are looking for, is 'Owner' |  |

The owner wanted to stick in a ludicrous minimum fee release clause which couldn't be agreed upon |  |

Adrian Paz and Mauricio Taricco, not from same club but was all done together and presumably through same agency at the time | |

 Boyd Now Unlikely to Join Town 30th Aug 2012 22:29Town’s move for Peterborough midfielder George Boyd appears less and less likely to be successful despite his Posh team-mate Paul Taylor agreeing terms with the Blues earlier this evening.  25
Could well be agents, but it was a weird saga. Seemed like we ended up paying almost as much for Taylor as we were bidding for the pair. What a sham that ended up being. | |

Most of that was just b0llocks. Was told subsequently that barring so early contact we were just used as a stool pigeon by his agent. I think if there had been more experience at the top of the club at the time, they'd have made that clearer. Either way, ultimately cost Palace more than it otherwise would have done. |  | | |

Wasn't that the Joel Ward saga?
We have had quite the few almost deals done over the years. Austin is another that sticks out. |  | | |

Assume so, I think they'd both initially been on trial at Sporting Lisbon where Bobby Robson was manager. | | | |

Seems like we made an offer and Jewell wanted him, but along the lines of what you say there is the quote "I've had an agent call me on behalf of a couple of players there".

There was definitely something in it but we'd moved on some while before while was still being reported we were in for the pair of them. | | | |

I assume the triple signing from Bristol City doesn’t count as the deals were announced at different times? |  |

Good to see you about Superblue, not seen you on the forum for a while (could be we visit different posters these days I suppose)
Sure, line em up - I only deduct points for 5 items or more. | |

Ah, I think I may be, now you mention it. Yes, I think may have been a shared agent which led to their move. | | | |
