Marka Ragnos Posted July 24 VT Supporter Share Posted July 24 (edited) My guess is Emery wants Felix particularly to help defeat low blocks. I honestly think that's the main reason. Our experiences last year against too many euro-crap clubs and relegation-fodder who managed nonetheless to hold us off by stopping up the goal drain had to be super frustrating for Emery. He thinks he can get Felix to break up these blocks by working the "small spaces" and unlocking room for Ollie. If that happens, it's worth it.

bose Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 Just now, Jas10 said: Unai turned McGinn, Watkins, Bailey, Konsa into top class performers… with arguably less talent at his disposal. Each of these players was written off at some point or other or deemed simply not good enough… there were even calls for sales. Imagine what he can do with someone like Felix… Hopefully and if anyone can do it it’s him. Still feeling sceptical about this, all deals won’t work out for us sadly even though we have the king. His underlying numbers look good which is what we’re probably looking at but the atletico fans describe him as physically weak, lacking determination etc. But like I said IF we sign him Unai is the man to get the best out of him, if he and Monchi are confident in this deal then let’s wait and see.

Please Everyone on this thread needs to do the same ! I'm fairly certain Donk will leave on a loan. Club will probably have to cover some of his wages Felix on the other hand.... Fuhgeddaboudit!!

Yep. Let’s not forget the criticism (not to mention the hate and vitriol) aimed at Bailey and look what he has become… Was there a better or more dangerous winger or forward (not striker/CF) in the PL last season? McGinn was derided and slated during the SG era… Unai transformed him and improved him in every sense. Our heartbeat. Watkins… so many doubts, so much criticism, he’s one of the top CFs around now. Look at Konsa now…one of the best defenders in the league. Will be bloody exciting to see what Unai can do with Joao… if it happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s stated just that in a recent video posted on here. Free flowing teams we competed against well barring Palace and Newcastle. His ball control and dribbling between players and lines is next level. He’s a game changer for me, thankfully Unai agrees. Would love to get this over the line. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of like what Zaniolo was meant to do, but didn't. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing came out of Barca or even Chelsea about a bad attitude or lack of work ethic. Barca actually would’ve kept him if finances allowed it and they weren’t so hot on Williams and Olmo. They also carry almost 3 million euros of debt. The new manager, Hansi Flick, is a fan too. But not as much as Unai 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He just had a bad year in 2021-22. Unai might deserve a little credit for getting him back on track, but that year was probably just a blip anyway.

Not gonna argue with that, but he has taken and is taking all of these players to new heights. The blip was SG’s fault, clown selected Chambers ahead of him!
