Villatillidie95 Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 We need to get a hard working winger in who can contribute goals and assists going forward but also do the boring defensive stuff....I remember watching Nathan Dyer tear us apart in Swansea's first season in the prem at villa park, must have been 11/12 season. If we can get someone in like that who has a good all round game i think it will give us a lot of options Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair I think he’s overrated for £105m at his early stage. He’s a fabulous young talent that has had a great World Cup and started well in his first dozen games for Benfica but that doesn’t translate to that valuation for me.

Players are settled, players are overvalued due to the World cup. On the flip side, if you have done your due diligence and have ignored the blips positive and negative in the World Cup you can pick up some bargains. Clubs in Europe are struggling financially and with some players finishing their contracts in the summer or only have a year left, clubs will want to cash in if the player isn’t going to renew rather than getting no money so opportunities arise like Thuram. Not saying we should go for him but there are opportunities like that across Europe that we can approach and get some good value in January. It also allows the player to settle in the second half of the season and hit the ground running next season. So there are positives and negatives about the Jan window. It’s all about if the right deal is there and Emery wants the player. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burchy Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 Benfica trying to repeat the Enzo deal with another young talent. Would love us to be in for this kid but I think we may be scuppered work permit wise. He’ll go for millions in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be a brilliant number 2 whwnever Emi can't play/is too hungover If you think Pickford will move to a club as 2nd keeper you've had too many Christmas sherries.

CVByrne Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 Might be worth a 6 month loan for Felix if we could somehow pull it off. If it costs us around £12m including wages for 19 Prem games + FA Cup. Raises profile of the club and would fill the attacking player we need.

I’d love Felix mate, but I’m not sure I’d be spending that sort of money for a 6 month loan. I’d have a different opinion if it were a loan with and agreement to buy.

I think you got the numbers the wrong way round, Atletico want €21m including wages for a 6 month loan, so just short of £20m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coutinho about £11m etc.. So financially a 10-12m fee for 6 months can fit into our structures no problem. If it gains us a few more places in the League that's more prize money too. Plus the club profile boost is big too. Felix would know he fits perfectly into our system so has best opportunity to show his skills I think Arsenal are the perfect fit for a 6m loan deal for him imo. I just think they may want to use their current lofty position to sign permanent players though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
