HeroesAndVillans Posted July 25 VT Supporter Share Posted July 25 Thought about this all morning... I'm basically 100% for it now. Bring him in, let Unai & his staff work their magic and watch him shine. He'll pick up the ethos and work ethic soon enough. Sometimes I forget that we have a manager who is world class and can get the best out of any player. If he comes, we will all be behind him and I'm sure he will show why he deserves it. Optimism is good for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Steve Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 The shirt number rumour is basically a bloke got a text from a mate who claimed to have overheard people at the club shop discussing it but won’t give any actual details about the nature of the chat. Can we not. It’s total nonsense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That may well be seen by our club as a very reasonable use of our resources. No one is paying £35 million if he flops here and is on 125k a week. Most clubs in Europe couldn’t afford it and wouldn’t take the risk, no top club in the PL will want him and Felix won’t want to go to newly promoted Southhampton. If we walked out of that deal with £15-20 million we’d be laughing and unfortunately we can’t afford £30 million mistakes on big wages. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMelvillan Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 So was his missed penalty in the euros and aberration or does he / can he take them? Personally I'd let Ollie take the first couple weeks get in the season and if he scores them let him keep going But it would be nice to have a back up option Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRO Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 (edited) 21 hours ago, Jas10 said: Probably not a stretch to say that many accused Leon of similar problems… it went as far as hate for some, which was ridiculous. Other than the fallout with Simeone, there have been no reports or details regarding any personality or attitude issues. No negative “revelations” to speak of… Hunger… there may be something there but there may be mitigating circumstances (huge move and fee at a young age, big pressure) but that’s something that can be worked on. Actually, maybe that shouldn’t be questioned either when he accepted 6k pw to go to Barcelona and played plenty of games/minutes… also willing to move abroad and try a new league, language and culture when he went to Chelsea Strikes me as someone who needs the right manager and environment to thrive… It’s enough for me that Unai wants him, and that gets me excited too. In terms of not joining us earlier… not surprising that a player who has/had built a big reputation and was widely lauded at one time would not want to move to a club that was struggling to get into European competition, let alone CL. Not like we had the anticipated/expected stage for him to perform on back then. Don’t begrudge him that personally… So if John Duran turns out to be a world beater, do we point the finger at Unai? I think, not. I think most people would agree with you, on his unadulterated ability, but that has to be accompanied by other crucial attributes. I would be delighted, if he came, and found his Benfica form, and yes, he is young enough to do that. The possibility of a fully functioning Joao Felix, is mouth watering, that is hard to deny. I will revert to type and say….if Unai wants him, I support that. I am quite prepared to shelve my doubts, until they are proven, one way or the other. I can’t deny it has the possibilities of being a stellar signing. Edited July 25 by TRO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
