Ex- Villa Players still playing watch

[Archbishop Herbert Cockthrottle]

Philogene has scored for Ipswich against Sheffield Utd.

Three times.

Wonder if any other European Cup winning captains are uncapped? Doubt it.

John McGovern wasn't capped by Scotland.

Also Stevan Stojanović, Red Star goalkeeper in 1991. Only ever played for the Yugoslav Olympic team, in games which aren't recognised as full internationals.

Philogene has scored for Ipswich against Sheffield Utd.

Three times.

A very good hat-trick.  If he'd gone straight to Ispwich instead of having his year with us, it's the sort of hat-trick that would have had us all screaming "why didn't we activate our buy-back clause?!?"

He's clearly too good for that level, maybe he'll prove himself at Premier league level in another year or two.

I reckon him, Archer and AJ are all at that level of being too good for the championship but not quite ready for the premier league. There's loads of players like it right now, Southampton and Leicester have squads full of them.

I wonder if they'd all flourish with good teams in the top-flight of the Bundesliga or other decent European divisions.

Philogene wasn’t given an amount of time to come through at VP. Who knows what might have happened if he had been given a decent chance?
Unfortunately we seem to have a habit of not given young players a decent time, see Finn Azaz and various others. The result is we are putting out a team that was built by previous managers that are no going over the hill and no one coming through.

Emery gave Philogene plenty of opportunities to show what he could do but the results were painfully thin.

Still, he's very young and has a chance to come again.
