villabromsgrove Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 For these social media guys it's a job. They have to post to earn their income. The fact that they haven't got anything new to post is irrelevant to them .... It's all about the "clicks'. I've been entertained by this thread because Felix is a damned good footballer, but I still haven't got a real clue as to: A) Are we even interested in him Have we actually talked to Atletico about a deal C)If we have are we only after a loan and then a later permanent deal? I could go on with the rest of the alphabet, but then I would wasting my time and yours, which it appears Fabrizio Romano and his other less well known colleagues in the clickbait industry are currently doing.

grantholtgolazo Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 Tielemans is supposedly on 150k a week so likely would be higher than that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alakagom Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 I mean the fact we were interested in Nico Williams who's already on 200k at Bilbao, and would likely need even bigger wage to tempt him away...shows we can probably smash the wage record if it's Unais dream signing.

Two different German journalists have said we’ve made some offer for Beier. I don’t know if he’s pushing this from Felix’s camp or not. Whatever he claims Unai thinks of the deal is irrelevant if it’s not a direct quote. Romano has just posted that there is no interest in Beier So... Yeah. As much as some hate it ..Romano is top tier for transfer news and rumours. Doesn't mean he'll always be right but his MO is all his deep-rooted contacts Edited July 30 by JAMAICAN-VILLAN 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Point is simple: two German journalists confirmed some offer which hadn’t been accepted. Hence no negotiations. Both can true. He’s just trying to hard to push this deal. Maybe for Monchi, maybe for Joao’s side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or do we try getting Alvarez and save them the trouble Even going for him may force them to hear us out on a loan-to-buy deal for Felix 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_AA_786 Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 Felix probably thinks the Barca dream is alive until they sign Williams instead of him. Unfortunately it seems like Laporte is prepared to start an OnlyFans account and do anything to get the money for that transfer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t think he’d be interested though and cost a fair bit more, wants to move to a “warmer climate” apparently and be a regular starter, probably the main CF, in any team he joins. Think he’d be a great partner for Ollie in attack but it sure that is something that would appeal to him. Don’t think that’d be necessary anyway…. they want to strengthen their side and could do with some additional funds. Don’t want to keep Felix either so should be willing to come to some sort of compromise. As time goes on, you would think they’d be less resolute and more willing to work on something that works for all parties… Atm, we are the best option although we may have competition from Benfica (especially once they complete the Joao Neves deal to PSG). Just gonna have to be patient and wait and see what happens… difficult to get much clarity at this point but the interest appears to be genuine. Whether or not we have actually entered into negotiations is less clear Regardless, it’s just exciting and good to see us linked with such players. We never had a chance in the past… I wonder who else is on our shopping list (a few more sales will help). I do think we need to set and keep our sights high since we are making the leap to CL football… don’t think we should be complacent about the strength and ability in our squad. There’s always room for improvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyblade Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 107 pages for what essentially amounts to "Unai Emery is doing puppy dog eyes in Joao Felix's general direction". Wack. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing is that's exactly what Felix needs. Someone who knows exactly how to get the best out of him and rates him. He hasn't had that for 5 years really.. I dont care either way if he does come , but I would be really interested to see what Emery does with his skill set. He has turned Bailey into a lethal high end winger. McGinn into a cultured thoughtful player rather than a bull in a China shop. Does he turn Felix into a Firmino/ Griezeman type player. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm kind of intrigued as well, but then I remember he's going to cost like 60m and also that we haven't even formally made contact with either his club or him and I'm honestly kind of over it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
