King Kante 1,643 Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 (edited) 11 hours ago, NikkiCFC said: But we dont need player like him or Martinez from Inter. We already have player like that in Havertz who is a striker but not really a striker. This is true. I personally don't rate Martinez but I do Felix. However, Felix is a player we have no need of; unless you can get him at an absolute steal of a proce, which we cannot. Edited June 29, 2021 by King Kante Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DDA 9,941 Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 I just can't be excited about a player/club using us as some sort of a holiday resort whilst simultaneously pulling our pants down and ramming 15n plus up our backsides. manpe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fulham Broadway 17,320 Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 Not sure what's worse this or 98m Lukaku. Its almost like the club is desperate to launder money. didi007 and Fernando 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am hopeful that if Joao shows he can play in the PL, he is going to want to stay. Simone is rumored to be leaving at the end of the year. This has the possibility of working for us to get him permanently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fernando 6,585 Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 Not excited. My expectations are those of Higuain, Morata and lukaku. I thinking his performance will fare on those type of players.  bluephoenix 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a new manager coming in and no buy option included in the loan deal, the next coach could just say he rates Felix and wants him to stay. 8 minutes ago, Fernando said: Not excited.

During the half season loan Higuain scored 5 in the PL and considering Felix' goal record throughout his career for Benfica, Atletico and Portugal national team I doubt he'll score more than that with the 20 or so games left in our season. He would need to totally hit the ground running and find his Benfica mojo back which I think is very unlikely to happen given our team's recent struggles and Felix' own stagnation over the last few years. More than happy to be proven wrong but not convinced by this deal at all. Even if he's a big success we're unlikely to have him next season. bluephoenix and Fernando 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a player, I would think he would prefer to stay at a place he is doing well and enjoys London, rather than going back and rolling the dice with a new manager and a new system? People usually want to hold on to a situation that is good. If he bombs here, it really will not make a difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
