Zatman Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 If this is true am guessing the wages are as bad as the transfer fee. That paycut wasnt going to extend to Villa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let’s just wait and see as I’m sure Monchi, Unai and his team have various deals in negotiation. I think we’d rather speculate endlessly about every single possibility. More fun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I am saying is at 50mill, only A Madrid, are ridding themselves of the problem. why should Unai risk, his reputation. but it’s his call. ps despite all the fan clamour, for his talent…..there is not exactly a stampede of clubs for his signature is there?….and his inflated view of himself, is still prevalent on where he wants to go, only the best for him. Its a very sticky dilemma financially we could get done over.. i rate him extremely high in terms of talent hes right up there with the best in the world, but im still very unsure if we should risk trying to sign him, he is that luxury player that you love but also the player you probably dont want, if he gets involved in a match for 90 minutes on a consistent basis then yes bring him but if he was doing that then he would probably be a permanent signing for barca or one of the other giants because the kid has literally everything in terms of ability. Its Monchi & Emery’s call at the end of the day but im also not jumping on that train of ‘if Emery wants him then we should all want him’ it’s dangerous, yes Emery is a don at getting the best out of players but it doesn’t always work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RicRic Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 (edited) Just looked up and seen that we are interested in Felix on SSN so its definitely reached a new level. Edited July 23 by RicRic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villan95 Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 The deal could be dead but maybe we are just walking away for the time being so Atletico/Felix have to lower their demands. I suspect he will move somewhere late in the window but whether that's here, who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adman Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 I think the player wants to come and we want to buy him. Isn't that normally what happens? Now the club to club negotiations happen to see if we can agree a fee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyh29 Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 Different player types and Whilst I don’t particularly rate him , would Toney at £40m be a better signing for us in terms of 20 + goals a season than the eye watering wages and fee for Felix ? Or is the ceiling for Felix really that high that we go all in on him ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
