I hope we aren't waiting for him as well. I get the feeling that we aren't very high on his list of prospective clubs and we know it. I suspect we are looking elsewhere, as he has been doing all along. If so, he's welcome to make his choices and I doubt we will be waiting for what ultimately seems likely to be a big and final "No" from him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah steer clear of players who see villa as a club of last resort. The way Felix appears to have burnt his bridges at Atletico isn’t a good sign nor are the comments that he only wants to sign for certain clubs as if he has some god given right to play for them. Despite the hype from some on here he just seems to be a fancier version of Coutinho, flashes of great skill and technique but has never hit the heights expected on a consistent basis 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's certainly not there yet, but a season or two working with UE, could only have helped him become a better player imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sulberto21 Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 We’re not going to sign Felix. However if he took a step back and realised that working with Don Unai for a season or two would enhance and revive his career no end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 Brennan Johnson had a really good game for Forest today. I still have a gut feeling that's one we might really push for as deadline day approaches. Chelsea and Spurs been linked to him and Brentford had bids rejected earlier this summer so not like Forest are just dismissing all the interest, he's clearly for sale at a decent price. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 Just now, beachboys1 said: personaly dont think well get any more incomings I think one at best. Not sure which position. If Konsa to RB is going to be a regular thing with europe then we are thin at the back with just two credible CB options (unless Kamara or Dendoncker are going to play there in emergencies). I suppose from Emery's point of view Donk, Moreno, Ramsey and Zaniolo are all going to be available for selection again within the next month so our bench will look very strong when that happens. Even with all the injuries Tielemans has only been a sub so far and Bailey will revert to a sub when Ramsey is fit. He also clearly believes in Duran so if he can score v Everton he hopefully can get a couple more in europa league to increase his confidence. I also think Diaby will play as CF at times this season. We're not that strong yet we can have world class back up players but I'd say Digne, Tielemans and even Bailey as subs is as good as anything outside top 5 in this league. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted August 26, 2023 Moderator Share Posted August 26, 2023 Yep, it's hard to see where Ward-Prowse would fit into Villa's side. I realise this sounds like a stupid question, but does the window close this year on the 31st August? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good result today. Perhaps Everton should have signed him for £30m? Seems like your sort of overpriced nothing player you'll be stuck with on £130k a week. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yes, I'm so sad that we have to cope with Douglas Luiz and Tielemans and Kamara instead. Ward-Prowse would be competing with Dendoncker for fourth choice if we bought him. I'm not sure we want to splash £30 million on a guy who would hardly play for us. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Said in the match thread West ham had 16% possession and completed 61 passes in the first half JWP suits that style of play, great for set pieces and snatching goals But there's a reason the better teams in the league who want >60% possession and are expecting a player in his role to take 80 odd touches a game didn't go near him 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
