Has anyone mentioned his " massive salary " and greediness to @Jas10 yet?

Perhaps, but he did join Chelsea. We're now a more attractive footballing proposition with CL football. 

Who knows. 

A loan is different and so are Chelsea. Chelsea are an established big big club. Villa are growing, but still very much a tier below the Chelseas the Barcelonas, the Athleticos. It seems like Felix has his rod out for one of the “breakaway 12” clubs.

Fair enough, shouldn’t have assumed. I apologise. 

No worries. A lot gets lost via text and I appreciate your contributions too. I’ve certainly made mistakes too - I’m just glad that we can debate and discuss these things in a good way.

I would be astounded if we’ve allowed Diaby to leave without a replacement already agreed.

I have no idea of who Unai and Monchi are trying to sign as a 'Diaby' replacement, or if they are happy to go with the extra numbers we now have including  Buendia and Ramsey returning. I'll just wait patiently to see what happens. 

I'm focussing on where I believe we still need to make changes. I love Matty Cash but it seems clear that his lack of technique may exclude him from Unai's future plans. I'm really impressed with what I've seen of Kosta Nedeljkovic and expect him to play a part in next seasons large number of games, but it's too much to expect him to dominate the RB position for 50 plus games. Konsa can share that load but my hope is that we will target someone of the stature of Denzil Dumfries if Cash is sold.

Dumfries would help solve our well documented aerial weakness both in defence and at set pieces both ends of the pitch. Points saved, and points earned .... onwards and upwards.

Dumfries can be quite the clumsy oaf… rather we didn’t.

Atletico are desperate to get rid of Felix so they can register their new signings. In a similar hole as Barca. No way should we pay what they are asking if it's anything close to €60m.

Offer them a Spurs deal.   £10m and a Dendoncker.  Throw in a Hause if they get moody.

The follow up tweet from the club account is more uninteresting players back in training gumf. What an anti climax.

That is a plus, so is CL football, so is a detached house in Sutton Coldfield  

but all 3 could be gone 2 season down the line. Does Felix want that gamble?

The big signings tend to be 5pm onwards

What happens to the house?

Labour MPs move woke voters in and turns Felix’s house in to a hippy communist commune 

[duke313]

Weather we sign Felix or not, we will still need to replace the 38 G+A that Luiz and Diaby got us last season.

Felix could be a smokescreen for what Monchi is cooking.

I'm interested in what Hause and Dendoncker are doing! 

[CarryOnVilla]

It’s a take, and I can somewhat agree with. 
 

but Villa are still not super attractive to the worlds best, so it’s a punt on Getting Felix to the level he was meant to be 

or we try and find the next superstar winger/ss
