Sima Posted Wednesday at 11:17 Share Posted Wednesday at 11:17 7 minutes ago, GeordieDazzler said: Felix’s career has been a succession of terrible decisions. Was Ronaldo’s heir apparent back in the day and now has just become a PSR bargaining chip. Doubt he cares. He’ll be earning a shitload in signing-on fees.

Strange career Felix is having. A one man money laundering scheme. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we sold Wilson, and played 50 games a season, we would need a replacement. True - I mean, it's not like they are selling a player in their spine Martinez - Pau - McGinn - Watkins He's been a big player for them this season but it's not like us selling Isak or Bruno Edited Wednesday at 11:25 by The College Dropout Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geordie_once_removed Posted Wednesday at 11:38 Share Posted Wednesday at 11:38 That would be a transfer I would endorse. Between the fee and the wages that would eat up a good chunk of the money and I'm pretty sure Felix's picture is on Google images when you search the term "Flatters to deceive".

Duran for me is unproven and I'd be cashing in if I was Villa. Monchi and Emery have a great relationship and are obviously both wheeler dealers. What they are doing us what Rafa wanted to do with us so it's interesting to see from that POV. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussiemag Posted Wednesday at 11:55 Share Posted Wednesday at 11:55 I think selling is the right thing. Gives them room to manoeuvre and doesn’t have a huge impact on their starting 11. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just be annoying if it's from our owners... Only positive, Villa look likely to spend it on Felix, so will just fuck them over long term. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smal Posted Wednesday at 12:22 Share Posted Wednesday at 12:22 don’t think Duran has shown enough yet to be regarded so highly. He’s scored near double his xG this season which is unsustainable and gives Nunez at Benfica the season before he went to Liverpool vibes where he scored 26 from 15xG.

Doctor Zaius Posted Wednesday at 12:29 Share Posted Wednesday at 12:29 Id take the money and run for Duran. Good player and strikers are hard to come by but the money being offered will be worth it for Villa. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted Wednesday at 14:01 Share Posted Wednesday at 14:01 (edited) Very intrigued to see how Malen and Felix get on at Villa. They're taking chances on talents that haven't quite settled elsewhere and are getting them at decent value. I have a bad feeling these two especially are going to pay off for them. Funnily enough, even if they don't, they are the type of players Saudi will happily pay sizeable fees for. Either way it will be a win.

Sibierski Posted Wednesday at 14:08 Share Posted Wednesday at 14:08 How can it be a win when it’s more in the door and then out Revolving door isn’t good for cohesion. Felix is a mess, and any club signing him needs to be questioned what the vision is. Monchi is known for signing a lot of players, which some laud but I don’t. Just a constant scattergun which eventually leaves the squad in a poor state. Will strike some gold with it by laws of average. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you need balance of approaches and while I agree throwing players in and chopping and changing can be unsettling to momentum and team building. You can also quiet easily throw back to say our (enforced upon us or not) sign no one let players age out to keep the squad together as a whole.

nufcjmc Posted Wednesday at 14:14 Share Posted Wednesday at 14:14 Also to add they have been lucky to be able to sell what they don't want to keep. DIdn't they make their money back on Diaby? If that was us we would be lumped with him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both domestically and in the Champions League. They've also positioned themselves to continue to be able to operate in the transfer market to try and improve their team. And so I have no idea what you're on about. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea how you have come to that conclusion on Felix given that he's failed in his last two Prem stints. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
