Villa have made it pretty clear that we want him and it's down to them now, as it has been for some time, I suspect. I wonder whether we will put a deadline on this transfer as some point? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With how much Emery seems to love him I doubt it. I don't feel like we need another player there especially, so I suspect we'd go without rather than going elsewhere. But if we can get him on our terms then we definitely will. Diaby is replaced by Buendia so we're not short in that area of the pitch compared with last season.

Maybe you can argue Rogers can replace Diaby but different types. Duran, who knows what happens there. I think we a player short up top to open up teams, I’d be disappointed if we miss out on Felix and don’t go for somebody else. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we a player short up top to open up teams, I’d be disappointed if we miss out on Felix and don’t go for somebody else. Zaniolo offered virtually nothing for us. Rogers, Ramsey, Buendia, Bailey, McGinn and Iling-Jr for the 3 spots behind Watkins is more than fine. If we sell Duran then I'd expect us to sign someone else, but taking the squad as is, I don't think we need anyone else. Edit: forgot Philogene too...no way we need Felix... but I wouldn't say no if we can get him. Edited August 7 by MrBlack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree, I think we need that difference maker behind Ollie but who can also take up the No.9 role if Ollie is missing. Felix or somebody else is needed imo. The players you mention play better from deeper than in that role I mention. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we don't sell Duran we already have the number 9 alternative. Admittedly he's not a like for like replacement, but unless we sell him I don't see us needing someone else. Felix would be nice, but not necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take your point, but I anticipate that we have a couple of other options, assuming Duran does eventually make it out of the exit door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree if Duran leaves its a different picture. That frees up the space in our squads that we need to get someone else in. My point is really that if that someone is Felix, then we'll get him in whatever, and sacrifice a sqaud spot for someone for it if we have to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
