Can we stop quoting this guy? He’s never called anything that wasn’t already out there. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other big contribution was going viral after standing still in goal during a warmup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a deal that definitely would have been investigated financially if it wasn't a release clause. Like Silva at Wolves I have a feeling it was a financial favour for Mendes Didn't he win the Golden Boy award when he played for them, he must have been doing something right?

mikeyjavfc Posted December 7, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted December 7, 2022 Felix probably can’t wait to join villa after seeing how Coutinho has revitalised his career and set the league on fire after an expensive failed transfer to La Liga 🫤 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had a good season and Europa League and had potential but not so good to pay £120 million for him 40-50 million would still have been a huge risk for what he had done so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laughable Chimp Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 (edited) Even if we could attract him here, the finances required would be insane and I’m not sure he’s worth paying close to 100m euros for not to mention the wages he would be on. He’s not pulled it all together for long enough or consistently enough to be worth that kind of financial outlay.

maqroll Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 39 minutes ago, Didiersix said: I have seen a lot of Joao Felix and not massively impressed to be honest. Yes he may be being played out of position, yes he may be unhappy at Atletico.... but I've never seen anything that has made me think he is a top player. His shooting is normally pretty weak and generally he is not a strong player (although this was supposedly something he worked on at the close of last season). I remain decidedly undecided about him and would be happy to miss out on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KMitch Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 We could sign Haaland and Mbappe and some would still say they weren't good enough for Villa... Joao Felix would be the biggest meltdown signing of all time for Villa, even more so than Coutinho on loan last January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also why would he join Villa, makes no sense at all. We have been linked with big starts like Nunez etc.. before. They never happen Why did Robinho join Man City all those years ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mic09 Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 I watched him live back in 2018 for Benfica and he was absolutely special. He got a transfer to the wrong team though, from what I read at the time he didn't want to go too far, he was still very young. He is a sensational player, he is better than Buendia, probably on par with prime Grealish, and he would slot in to any European team. In my opinion, it's unlikely he comes to Villa. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if a loan with an obligation to buy would help with financing on both sides Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though him on a free is different to signing a guy who was purchased for over 100m euros a few years ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
