Yeh, because the whole Felix stuff has been manufactured by us just to throw other teams, our fans, other teams fans off the trail of a different player we actually want to sign. Sure. I was being facetious tbf when i used that term I imagine he's on the list with 3/4 others, likely at the top 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delphinho123 Posted August 5 Author Share Posted August 5 Oscar Bobb aint going nowhere. If Felix does go to City, which I doubt he will, we’ve got more chance of getting Grealish back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seems reluctant to want to come here and is waiting for better options, we should move on if that is the case. ????? How do you get to that? So far Athelics of Madrid and Villa haven't agreed a deal - so there's absolutely no way to know whether or not Felix is interested. People are in meltdown about Duran yapping away about wanting to leave and saying how unprofessional he is. And yet the fact Felix isn't doing the same thing about wanting to come here somehow means he's not interested..... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viivvaa66 Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 I think we need to sell either Archer or Duran or both before we will attempt to get Felix. Until we sell someone we are in the not interested category when it comes to Felix. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seems reluctant to want to come here and is waiting for better options, we should move on if that is the case. The problem is that to get that next level quality to Villa we aren’t going to first choice a number of times. We are getting into category of being ‘bottom of the elite’ rather than ‘top of the rest’ so top quality players want to play for the elite and because we aren’t established in that category they are wary of us. We can’t just hoping our gems keep coming through like Emi, Watkins and Konsa. We will continue attracting those type players of course but we do need a top quality player that initially is wary of us but when decided can be a difference maker. Odegaard at Arsenal was wary of going there from Madrid and now look at him and Arsenal, they are a perfect match. Yes the chances of it working like that is hard but just because he isn’t all giddy I don’t think is a problem imo. 7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have full faith in the team top down, without knowing anything about Sawiris admittedly. Why i think Felix is no doubt on the radar. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, we don’t have the headroom for another big purchase hence why we were looking for a loan deal or to sell Duran to make this happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
