DDA 9,941 Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 I literally love the way Felix plays and loved the romantic idea of him playing for this club... but on a loan with no option to buy? Fuck that. Who are we now??? Some mid table dumpster club. bigbluewillie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Special Juan 28,140 Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 So, here we go- Lets see what he can do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 18,952 Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 So we are essentially allowing ourselves to be a training center for Felix for 6 months since there’s no buy option. If he does super well here Atleti (having just now extended his contract) can demand £100m or more for him in the summer. Or just not consider selling him at all. I mean, with Boehly in charge I have no doubt that he would pay what Atleti ask for if he wants to stay, but with the previous regime in charge we would’ve insisted and likely succeeded in agreeing a buy option for something reasonable. Injuries made us desperate, clearly. We agreed to a pretty shit deal out of desperation. Costa19, didi007 and DDA 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol People keep saying sell Auba but he already played for 2 clubs this season so any move in January is impossible.

Superblue 6,372 Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 Some have mentioned that Atletico are trying to keep hold of Felix for a new manager next season, but I'm also wondering whether it suits us just as much as we have no intention to buy him anyway. It is perhaps that Potter has a plan for how he wants us to set up moving forward and Felix is the stopgap signing to perform the role that is earmarked for Nkunku next season. Obviously if Felix is successful it certainly poses questions then, but realistically I don't see us buying Nkunku and Felix for big money when they'd be performing similar roles and likely playing for one place in the team. Separate note regarding Lavia - makes complete sense to hold off until the summer on this one. Southampton are not going to want to sell now when fighting off relegation. If they go down, his price could potentially come down significantly, and if they stay up I still think we'd have more chance of getting a much fairer price for him than we would right now.

Yeah that's what I thought too. Both are said to be at their best in a 'second striker' role so what works for one might work for the other too. If Potter can find a successful formula to use Felix in this second half of the season we might not even need to buy him on a permanent deal with Nkunku slotting right in for next season in the same position. But even so, to pay £15M for a short term loan like that is outrageous and by having no buy option we have given Atletico exactly what they wanted. If Simeone goes after the season like is being suggested by the Spanish media, they'll just have gotten rid of a problematic player for half a season (while recouping a hefty amount of money doing so) and at the same time hoping we help Felix regain his confidence just in time for him to go back and play under the next manager. Nkunku is already back in training and will only miss a couple more games so might as well have paid Leipzig a bit of extra and try to get him in straight away if the plan for Felix is to pave the way for Nkunku to come in..

Exactly... just pay the little extra and get Nkunku here right away unless RB refused to let him go this Jan full stop. Either way, that kind of money for a 5month loan is just beyond a joke.

It's definitely excessive. Having said that, he's a player that very much divides opinion and I am intrigued to see how he'd do over here. The most awkward situation will be if he's a huge success because I don't know where that leaves everything then. We'll be committed to Nkunku but there will be a clamouring for us to keep him and I'd assume he'd want to stay too if he caught lightning in a bottle here. I can't see a situation where you could accommodate both Felix and Nkunku unless perhaps you reverted back to wing backs and played two central attackers behind the striker.
