Felix was a massive financial outlay and is potentially going to bring in 30-40m if transferred out this summer. Why make him train alone? Unless you think he’s someone who will undermine the trainers or mess up the sessions why not keep him in the first team? This looks especially bad if the player ends up staying and you have to reintroduce him anyway. It also gives an advantage to the buying club as it’s clear the player isn’t wanted by the club so you must get rid of him. Anyway, hopefully he’ll be modelling the Villa No 9 shirt soon. For better or worse, it’s basically trying to force him out. Doesn’t always work though, memories of our infamous bomb squad (what a disaster that was) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just requires patience to not blink first and to wait until the end of the window and the price will start to drop - a lot. Its complicated with Uncle Jorge in the background, we might owe him one in the future for getting this over the line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar sort of process in the Diaby and potential Duran sale… Monchi is no mug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s on the player, might see a move to Benfica as a step backwards in his career and at such a young age. Does he fancy another go at the PL and CL alongside that and the opportunity to work with an elite manager rather than someone like Fat Frank and the Chelsea basket case? We shall see… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woody1000 Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 55 minutes ago, Czarnikjak said: Loan fee of £15m?? That would be one of the highest loan fees in world football ever and amortised equivalent of £75m purchase fee on 5 year contract. That would be absolutely terrible value deal. I'm glad you're not in charge of our transfer dealings I was more thinking from the angle of a deal that works for both parties, not simply slanted in our favour. Atletico clearly don’t just want to loan him out, and we’re clearly apprehensive about simply buying him outright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
