No im not villa fan im Olympiacos fan, but i like aston villa  too in england (after liverpool :))..

let me explain.... Diaby is  a tasmanian devil,   an excellent player that fits well in your tactic....Joao in the other hand is    good but fragile and "soft"... noway can fit in english football.......

it will be a  disaster  as a transfer..my 50cent......

Adamo let me tell you being a bloke that lives in Oz there’s nothing nice about a Tasmanian Devil and would much rather a fragile cuddly Koala. lol 

But I get your sentiment and understand your thinking. I believe he’d thrive in our system more so than Diaby did in the SS role. His link up play and passing is far superior to that of Moussa and would involve Ollie and and the flanks far more frequently.

or we try and find the next superstar winger/ss

 

But everyone knows that he's been out of favour with Simeone for most of that time.

If you scale up his minutes to a full 38 game season, these would be his goal and assist tallies in the league:

Season	Age	Squad	Gls	Ast
2018-2019	18	Benfica	30	14
2019-2020	19	Atlético Madrid	12	2
2020-2021	20	Atlético Madrid	15	11
2021-2022	21	Atlético Madrid	22	11
2022-2023	22	Atlético & Chelsea	17	6
2023-2024	23	Barcelona	16	7

I'd be pretty happy with those returns from a second striker - and that's with him playing in systems that don't suit him as well as Emery's. We just have to actually play him instead of having the manager fall out with him.

He actually did better at Atletico than I thought he did.

It really must have been the rift with Someone and playing style which was the problem. ( As reported )

i  get your point but  you know that you have the hardest and tougher league in the world right?  the last time he played in England for Chelsea  had 16 app  4 goals....  my main concern is  his softness....

Oh ok, thank you.

We trust in Unai Emery, he is amazing. Most of us fans will back and believe in every decision he makes - he knows much more than any of us do.

Appreciate you sharing your opinion and following our club - it’s going to be a wonderful and exciting season!

Btw, you fully deserved to beat us last season. Congrats on winning ECL!!

We will be stronger and much better in CL, was a good learning experience.

NEWS! Emery trusts and loves Joao Félix. That challenge has been proposed.

Atleti only wants to sell, at least for 45M € .

Aston wants a loan, they don't want to buy because they don't have salary space. Aston considers that it can revalue it. If they could buy it, they would try it.

Emery wants Felix. I want Emery to have nice things.

[mikeyp102]

Seems Williams 1st and Felix 2nd choice, wonder  who is the third choice? Some random off the cuff to take us all by surprise.

Who is Dougie Critchley and why should I care about his opinion? Ah yes, he's the same genius who thought we should sign Ampadu to replace Luiz:

I think for €45m, we can all get on board.

This.

All…

day..

long.

 

 

If Unai wants him, and any of us don’t, then we are doubting the best manager we’ve probably ever had!

Wages would be the issue with Felix, Id think. We'd probably need to go towards 200k to get him.

Are you not buying the Felix rumours OBE? 

I'm not sure - there certainly seems to be plenty of noise - but I don't see him as a Duran/Archer replacement which means if he comes in, we'd still need a CF and a CB - which seems a lot to do.

This window has been so bonkers though that anything is possible!

No cb is coming in unless carlos is moved on i think

I think we need one regardless - in very other position we have at least two senior pros ready to go - Moreno is our third choice left back - as of right now, we've got three fit centrebacks, one of whom played last season predominantly at right back. If we sell Carlos, I reckon we need two.
