PaulMcGrath_5 Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 I am absolutely fine if it's not Joao Felix joining us, as long as we have a strong alternative--which I am confident we do. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here. Felix would be a classy addition to our squad, I'm sure we have equally quality targets in mind too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CVByrne Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 We had weeks to try agree a deal and we've not. So assume the finances didn't work for us. If that's the case we move on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhan_Zhuang Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 7 minutes ago, PaulMcGrath_5 said: So he's expressed interest in Chelsea? It's got to be the London thing right? You have to question the desire and hunger of a player if this is true and that he wants to go to that basket-case club. Some thing is off with the player..... I was never really sure about João Félix, but i obviously trust Emery over my own opinions. It's a shame if that's twice he's turned us down, if that is true. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Steve Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 If he wants to rejoin Chelsea that’s honestly a big bullet dodged. Wrong mentality. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrBlack Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 If he'd prefer to go back to Chelsea over coming here they're welcome to him. You can only value one thing if you join them this season, and it isn't playing time and it isn't a stable football club. I suspect it's more that we didn't agree a deal with Atletico rather than Felix specifically rejecting us anyway, but even then, why you'd want to join Chelsea when you're supposedly hitting your peak i'm not sure. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This pretty much sums up my thoughts exactly. Felix isn't a necessity for us but rather an upgrade to a profile of player that we've not managed to sign before.

The_Steve Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 Again, if he does move to Chelsea, it shows how much of this transfer was being pushed by certain journalists. I don’t think he was ever interested. We move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be a bit disappointed as I really think a top level 10 would trasaform our attcaking play, however, if Unai beleives that a Lo Celso level of signing can improve us..... There’s no evidence we are in for him though, it’s just the same journalist who said Felix would be Unai’s “dream signing”. It’s all nonsense. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s all nonsense. Just because it’s not happened doesn’t make it nonsense. Percy said we’d have to sort a financial package, for whatever reason either that’s not happened or felix isn’t keen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see it being a busy last 3 weeks of the window.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolta Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 There's no evidence he wouldn't want to come here. There's not much evidence for anything in fairness, but the narrative has always been about us never so far agreeing a fee. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could never agree a fee with Atletico so what the player would want is essentially irrelevant. Chelsea can agree fee because they are selling Gallagher to them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
