Felix is a very interesting player. He had very bad luck with the coaches he played under before. Simeone, Xavi, Pochettino, all were deffensive. 

With Maresca he will explode definitely. Last year he was the second player with most g/a (above Yamal, Raphinha, etc.) in Barcelona despite not having a lot of minutes.

Felix never played with Pochettino

THIS!

True, it was Lampard Who finished the 22/23 season. Mistake.

What do you think about Nahuel Molina? 

I saw that Atletico Madrid wanted a transfer as worth as we were willing to pay for Omorodion. And signing a player whose value last summer was near 70M€ (Atleti rejected an offer from Man City of this value) for 35M£ is very juicy

So you think Nkunku will play 3 games in a row this season? 🤣

Good point.

Strasbourg are set to sign Chelsea's Portuguese winger Diego Moreira. If it's not known if it will be a loan or permanent move, it needs to be clarified.

(@CyrilOlives & @lequipe)

Hopefully permanent. Another stupid signing although surely make us some £ no? Even if it is Strasbourg.

Surely permanent. Stick a 20% sale clause on him and flip him again for £10m in a few years probs

Napoli have offered 25M plus 5M in bonuses for Lukaku, awaiting us to respond apparently

[OneMoSalah 9,104]

What I also don’t get regarding the Felix signing also is, if Nkunku doesn’t play for whatever reason be it injury or whatever, are people forgetting that Cole (our best attacker last season) can and would likely play as a 10? As he did under Poch? 

I get having squad depth but people were saying for weeks and weeks Maresca could/would use Palmer centrally - because he did with City u21/EDS - but now its we must sign Felix to have squad depth incase Nkunku doesn’t play? 

Unless we 100% see the sale of Noni and one of Mudryk/Sterling - a move for Felix would be very strange. I get he can maybe play 4 or 5 positions but whats the need if we already have got plenty of options there?

Just get rid of the cunt. After this transfer goes through, his name should be erased from all living memory.

It is really looking like we will have to give in to Napoli if we really want him to go.

But the club have already been doing these strange deals with Villa for Maatsen & Kellyman and now potentially Atletico for Gallagher & one of whichever player Simeone cannot be fucked with next, probably Saul Niguez, if we don’t sign Felix.

So who knows, maybe another iffy deal on the cards, Lukaku for 30m and then we give them 50m for Oshimen… either way we look like fannys but nothing new there 🤣

Send Lukaku to Italy and send them 40/50M and take Osimhen

[Pizy 19,280]

Come onnnnn, give us a Felix/Gallagher update damnit!

Should have been made to them minute they appointed Conte. But dumb & dumber probably were too busy wanking each other off about how good they are at signing GKs…

No way we agree to that deal with Napoli. Not here to save them from the embarrassing situation they've got themselves in.

Either pay the clause or offer us a fair deal to trade Osimhen

Works both ways though.

Lets be realistic, they know we are trying to offload Rom cause he’s on massive wages and doesn’t want to be here - hence why their lowballing us. 

They also know we need to start offloading players irrespective because of the squad size.

I get the club put a clause in for Rom but barring a Conte melt down/ultimatum - which I get he is who he is but 7 weeks into his job, he’s not even that stupid - theres not too much we can do.

I think we should be saying if they offer between £30-35m for Lukaku… even with no swap deal on the table, that we will look to accept it on the basis that they accept a £50-60m bid in a separate deal for Oshimen. Then do both deals at the same time but separately as we were doing with Gallagher and whats his face. And if they fuck about just pull the plug on the Lukaku deal and let him rot.

I know its a bit of fucking about but if we really want Oshimen and they really want Lukaku - be hard with them.

Still think offloading the likes of Kepa, Chalobah, Broja, Ugochuwku & various others on loan/permanents would also give us a better footing too to make this deal as the need and desperation to trim a bloated squad disappears. I mean if we really want VO and Napoli really want RL, then we have to try make that happen.

I say we get them to get the Lukaku deal over the line and then bail on the VO deal. 

I honestly don't see VO as a player to elevate us a level. Sure he may be a bit better than the 2024-25 versions of Jackson/Guiu etc, but I am not sure how long that would last. Then we would have to try and shift him when we already have tons of players to shift. 

Focus on incoming should now be solely focused on CB. No ifs, no buts. Felix is the only exception if we have to do it to sort the finances out. 

As for outgoings we need to sell like crazy.

It was widely reported that Rom had to give up his massive wages to get the new contract with the release clause, as well as be allowed to go on loan last year instead of being forced out to Saudi. Cut it from something like £17m per year to £6m (£120k/week).

Agree with what you are saying though, something like Lukaku goes out for £30m and Osimhen comes in at £60m feels like the very best deal Napoli should be getting. They are in much worse state than us with Osimhen still on his huge salary and he is clearly never going to play for them again. From a sporting PoV Lukaku staying and sitting in our reserves does not bother us much, for Napoli their season is immediately over if Osimhen stays and refuses to play for them.

I kind of agree but at the right price I'm willing to give Osimhen a shot. He is a poor mans Haaland but City have shown you can make it work with a great finisher who is a terrible footballer. Honestly my bigger gripe is that he's just another very injury prone player.
