Rolta Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 We don't need to get doubts because a player once chose another club over us – especially not clubs competing in the Champions League (one of them one of the most famous clubs in the world) while we were picking up the pieces of the Gerrard mess.

John Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 8 minutes ago, Jas10 said: Option B (I’m sure we have multiple lists of targets for different positions, our recruitment and scouting departments are top class) is fine by me, especially if it includes players like Olmo and Alvarez but… A) Much more expensive. B: More interest and competition, harder to attract. And, most of all: C) This is the player Unai has always wanted, since he joined us really (we tried in that Jan window when Chelsea got him), the player he admires and wants to work with. Maybe most of all We can’t have entered into negotiations without an interest and possibility being there. I think the main problem with Felix has always been the finances and huge part/influence of/on that are the crazy amounts Atletico invested on him in the first place. Now, a deal is more doable and affordable than ever though… Agreed, but I think we might have a potential target that is priced at a similar figure or less. I also don't think he has quite given up on Barcelona yet and they have managed to sign players before, when they don't look able to do so.

But no, I don’t think Barca have a chance unless they utterly fail to get their prime targets in. He’s nowhere near a priority for them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not sure how my post has been construed as trying to tell anyone to “shut it” or to any extent I am somehow offended. For clarity, neither is the case. I get people are really excited by this, I also get some have worries. Having those worries does not mean people are “being negative” or “not trusting Emery”, so my push back is labelling just because I have a degree of caution. People are entitled to post what they want, it’s tinterweb! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s just about thrashing out a deal between the two clubs now… and I don’t think negotiations would have even started if this transfer wasn’t a real possibility.

I've not seen anything suggesting we've agreed terms with him. That would be a big development because it would also mean he's happy to come here; something else I've yet to see from a reliable source. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 (edited) Saw one podcaster suggest that, if we are going to spend this much money on Felix... we should at least try, even though we might fail, for OLMO if it's proving difficult, as it's obvious Unai wants this type of player ( Wizard unlocker ) and he would be perfect etc. Noted that both would be VERY expensive but Olmo less of a risk.

Thoughts @Jas10 You want my thoughts? I think we’ve covered it mate (see my reply to @John a little earlier). There are wonderful alternatives but different factors to take into account. This is the player Unai wants… that’s all that matters for me. My opinion or anyone else’s just doesn’t matter. And it’s probably the most doable deal too. I want Unai to be happy and to achieve his goals, he has a vision… let’s see that come to fruition! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
