mjmooney Posted July 25 VT Supporter Share Posted July 25 From his Wikipedia profile: Quote Considered by Benfica to be one of the most promising players to have emerged from their youth ranks, Félix is also regarded by pundits as one of the most talented young players in world football. His playing style has led him to be compared to Brazilian former playmaker Kaká and former Benfica players Rui Costa and João Pinto; he has also been likened by some in the media to compatriot Cristiano Ronaldo, as well as former Atlético Madrid forwards Sergio Agüero and Antoine Griezmann. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisvilla4 Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 I would imagine we are fully aware of the risk, Unai/ Monchi aren't daft and that's probably why it's taking its time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WHY Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 If the Gaffer wants him that’s good enough for me. I expect Felix to be announced in the next 48 hours if we are serious about him. Diaby out, Felix in. It’s what we do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demitri_C Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 Yeah someone will be coming in soon i think Diaby leaving is abit of a downer so i expect they will tey get a exciting signing in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted July 25 VT Supporter Share Posted July 25 Would be quite a statement if we manage to get this one over the line. Would prefer a permanent deal over a loan. Doesn't really seem to be too much interest from other clubs, get it done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awol Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 Would be nice if they took Cash as part of the deal to force the price down further, then Monchi can go and get us a starting RB. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So i think the interest is genuine Doubt has never been about whether interest is genuine or not mate. It's his wages ! I don't get how anybody thinks we can get around that.

Stevo71 Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 Alongside Felix's reluctance to go back to AM, I suspect Unai would want to get him to the US ASAP and start to get his ideas across. All points to fast movement so fingers crossed for the next 48 hours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't get how anybody thinks we can get around that. I wasnt sure as i have never seen these quotes or unai speak about felix. You are right about the numbers though.

Jas10 Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 1 hour ago, VILLAMARV said: It's not just blind faith in the manager, but when he came here I think getting the best out of players whose career has stalled a little was his M.O. It feels like the right fit for the club and the player to me. Emery is the manager he needs right now imo. I'm hopeful and excited at the prospect of this signing. If he can do it with the likes of Bailey, McGinn, Watkins… he can do it with Felix. Turned them into top players (when they were once considered crap)… Joao has the potential to be world class.
