Marcos Benito on Twitter who broke the Ormorodion news last night before anyone

Well I doubt Gallagher failed a medical considering how fit he is....wonder if it's Atletico playing hard ball on the Felix deal, making sure they get it sealed. 

The previous reports were that they had already agreed a deal with Guerra from Valencia and then Gallagher agreed to move to Atletico. 

Hopefully for Gallagher's sake, the deal goes through.

Gallagher deal falling apart after he has been posted walking around Atleti’s stadium by their social media account would be disastrous.

If we’ve fucked up 3 different deals here Atleti will never want to deal with us again.

Like someone mentioned above - the cost was minimum 85-90m if that was the case.

Maybe.

But still deals like this normally have a way of taking time, from day 1 working at it, with it later coming to the table Conte was keen on Lukaku… a compromise could of been reached and sooner. Might still happen but imagine we run out of time because we spent weeks chasing and almost signing some Atletico loanee? Could have given both players a pre-season with their new clubs too.

Fuck knows what is happening now with Gallagher too. These Stewart & Winstanley cunts have to go either way. As soon as but won’t happen until after this season is done if it is going to happen.

All that time fucking about for a exchange deal - nonetheless on a player who is a young CF who we already have 2 of in the squad - only for it to collapse over contract issues and now they prioritise Oshimen, a more established and higher quality player which is more of the profile we should of targeted from day 1? And are now trying to take Felix (for LW I am guessing or else makes no sense although hugely inconsistent still) to make the Gallagher deal work? On top of only having 2 loan slots left for non u21/HG players and a squad of 40 odd players with no moves happening for players who need offloaded. Shower of useless bastards. Honestly couldn’t run a piss up in a brewery…

It will be a stand off now, with each side vying for what they want and how they want it. This is the problem with these domino transfers, it only takes a small piece to fall and a lot comes crumbling around it. If Atletico go for the Valencia player now we are proper fucked over.

Matt Law saying Felix is willing to drop his wages and that Sterling's future is in doubt after Juventus came knocking

[Special Juan 28,148]

Romano is saying Felix has given us the green light, it's about us agreeing the deal now and OK ing this, this deal depends on the Gallagher deal

[ZAPHOD2319 4,819]

If Maresca is as reported wanting Joao, then he has a plan for him. Poch didn’t have a plan for anyone.

Wants paycut to restart career to build something here, bring the bastard home.

Should be pretty straightforward for us to simply offer the same money, maybe just a little more, for Felix that we did for Samu and get this Gallagher swap sealed. 

Going from Samu to João Felix is a colossal upgrade as people were saying last night. Just in terms of raw talent and technical ability it’s not close.

Just being able to turn to Felix instead of Mudryk or Sterling raises both our floor and our ceiling.

They wanted to buy just 50% of his rights just another economic transfer.

[Special Juan 28,148]

Got a good feeling the Lukaku and Osimhen situation will work itself out this week and we get VO

Is that even possible? I don't remember English clubs doing such deals. In the early 2010s it was big in Italy, Genoa and Milan were big dealers, co-owned lots of players.

Had no clue either but apparently you can, Shamu got angry at the lack of respect and deal collapsed.

Felix was our best attacker in his short spell of 3 months here. 

That's the equivalent of being the most friendly salt water crocodile.

These deal gets better every hour.

What’s crazy is I think Joao could play either as the LW with defensive cover or as one of the 8 with Nkunku against teams that will park the bus.

[Magic Lamps 11,692]

Felix is a good footballer, great technique, no doubt. Under 40m is relatively cheap. Still we are absolutely loaded with attackers especially those who - like him - are all flair no end product. He is the exact opposite of what we need, exactly what he was last time we pondered that decision. He has failed wherever he has gone since leaving Portugal . Let altetico crash and burn , no need to bail them out just bc they can’t string two transfers together . The mere concept of switching from omorodian to Felix, two entirely different players and types of signings highlights again the absolute incompetence in our board and their completely random scattergun „strategy“
