No matter which way you cut it. Exposure and marketing dream. My 7 yr olds I coach call out his name at training when they dribble and try tricks. He has a massive reach globally Edited July 24 by CroVillan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allani Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 If he signs then I think we can look at things like this: - Best keeper in the world (or at the very least the most talked about) - playing for Villa - Last season's CL top team left back - playing for Villa - Belgium's starting midfield partnership - playing for Villa - England's new No. 9 (probably) - playing for Villa - Portugal's star attacking / creative player after Ronaldo retires - playing for Villa And that's ignoring players like Konsa, Torres, Kamara, Ramsey, Rogers, Bailey and hungry youngsters like Ned, Enzo, SIJ and Philogene who will be trying their darnedest to make their claim for a starting spot. Not only is that incredible from a playing perspective but it's going to be raising our profile in other countries around the world. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope Felix turns out to be a hit, or I feel he might unnecessarily stall the progress of 1 or more of the aforementioned. We need more than one quality player in each position… now is the time to demonstrate our ambition and intent and for fans to be on board with it really, imo at least. We are going to be playing CL football and… young players learn from top talents and experienced players too, it can actually aid their development. Also if you’re good enough… you’ll make it anyway, more often than not as long as the right attitude and work ethic is there. Maybe it’s because we are not used to being or competing at this level, but Unai and NSWE want to take us as high as possible. We need to shed the restrictive and, to varying degrees, limited or negative thinking of the past. We are making waves, let’s get on board! UTV!

We will be stacked with options and the drop off between the "starting XI" and the "second XI" would be dramatically reduced from last season (and in fact any season I can remember).

Anything11 Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 (edited) All the negative discourse about Felix is based on being a wonderkid who signed for big money and then falling out with Simeone. Since then he has handled himself quite well on the whole trying to manoeuvre out of a difficult situation. Look at what Duran has been doing. For his career he needs some stability and we may be the right place for that. Anyone doubting his ability is a dunce.

Maybe, but I still don't think he's a big name particularly. Coutinho was shit but no doubts he was a bonafide world star. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
