Do Bordeaux have any decent players we could sign they are in serious financial danger

Seems like Emery is keen to land Felix.Personally I'm with Davedean, I think he is inconsistent as his time at Chelsea showed. If we do take him I would rather it be a loan with an option to buy rather than a purchase at this stage

I think unai could unlock the best out of him, i think this would be a statement signing

It’s a huge gamble, I see it as a Junhino/Merson signing, a statement. I honestly don’t know much or have seen much of Felix, he had a good World Cup but a bit part player at the Euros. He (from what I’ve read) can play all across the front line so could class him as a back up to Ollie should he get injured, in the same way I think Roger’s could (not forgetting Archer too) If he has a more than decent season then that should tie in with us being successful, if we get him at £50M or less then he’d be worth more should he want to move on so a win win there. He might end up loving it at Villa and become a legend. These are all mights and ifs but couldn’t you say that about any signing any team makes. If we’ve got £50M+ burning a hole in our pockets personally I’d like to buy Jonathan David as another quality No9 (who can also play across the front 3) who will push Ollie not just be a back up, or something completely different (I’m just pulling a name out the sky, not saying we should buy him) like a Chris Wood, someone who can rough up defenders, we can’t just rely on scoring ‘sexy’ goals. But going back to the beginning of this post, if Félix gives us something of what Merson did when he joined, would be a gamble worth taking 🤷🏼‍♂️

He’s too inconsistent for me, I’d rather go for either a direct replacement for Diaby like Raphina or someone who can play anywhere across the midfield in Eze, Raphina would be cheaper than Felix and Eze probably a bit more, but both have been quality performers at Premiership level, Felix hasn’t in my view.

My partner is a Chelsea fan so I actually saw quite a lot of Felix when he played for them.
Felix was by far their best player when he was there and always looked like he was willing to work hard.
Not playing consistently will always create inconsistency. Get him regular game time again and I think he'll come good.
Unlike Coutinho, Felix is still young and has decent enough physical attributes to compete.

What I’m not getting with this talk of we need wingers/not No9 forwards is by my count, we have 6 or 7, for at the most 2 spots in the team. Going on the talk of Philonge being worth £100M (or £84M) I’m going to guess that he’s Diaby’s replacement? For clarity, those 6 or 7 are Bailey, Illing Jr, Dobbin, Philonge, Ramsey, Buendia and Morgan.

This young lad Joford looks the real deal, if we can get him as part of the Duran deal . England u18 player and captain, West Ham fans not very happy .

Good profit on the Duran deal aswell! He is a good player! Just been thinking about these buy back deals on our young players. So we get the money off the books straight away and the fee we buy them back for is then spread over the contract length is that correct?

25 Jul 2024 22:21:15
How much are they talking with the youngster for Duran?

26 Jul 2024 12:28:19
Rumours of Villa already been after him, seem a good prospect.

25 Jul 2024 18:06:39
Just read an article about Jaden Philogene that states Villa have put a release clause of £84m in his contract.
Believable or not?

25 Jul 2024 18:24:35
100 mil Aka not 84 mate

25 Jul 2024 18:40:05
Jonny, is that 100m Euros/84m pounds?

25 Jul 2024 20:26:53
Pounds Aka

25 Jul 2024 21:37:37
Either way it is a massive figure so I guess Unai is really keen on Jayden.

26 Jul 2024 11:55:14
It’s 84 million pounds, 100 million euros

This Joao Felix looks another bundle of trouble . No denying he's got talent, but you can't say he particularly turned it on at Chelsea. Funny also how Barcelona can't wait to get rid of him, can't imagine his big ego fitting in the dressing room . He seems to be another like Duran, with loads of talent, but doesn't like authority.
