It's hard to see what could go wrong really. I think we should go for it but only if we get a manager with a proven track record of achieving Champions League qualification, say Jose Mourinho (even if he failed to achieve it in recent years with a shoe in club to achieve this and his football looks a little out of date now) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villan4Life Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 GuttedI hope we are interested in him as I have been banging on about him for few years on here. As you all know I am a massive fan of his..... Newcastle are close to bidding for Tom Bayliss of Coventry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AvfcRigo82 Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 I do not want to get to carried away with suggestions of players we should go for IF we go back up. But I would make Cheeky phone calls to out of Contract James Milner & Vincent Kompany if they did become free agents and we made it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said Komp, some days ago and got shit down by someone on here because they wanted Cahill instead, would rather have Komp myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kompany far less likely to pay a full season, picks up more injuries these days (understandably). How about if we go up and splash the cash on this present for captain Grealish? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, it is still ambitious either eay as he will no doubt be offered a deal from a team playing Eurpoean football next season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knows the club and will probably only want a 2 or 3 year contract. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felix is probably the brightest (under the radar) star in football, and Benfica are rumoured to have a clause of £150 on him. I was lucky enough to watch him live in Lisbon earlier this year and I was amazed by him. He is a Man City/PSG/Real star in the making. It's more likely we are signing Critiano Ronaldo.

sne Posted May 7, 2019 Author Share Posted May 7, 2019 Not really under the radar anymore, every top club in the world has scouted him all season and he's been absolutely dominant in the Europa League. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 he will go to wolves in a move that isn't ropey at all and they will spend all their time on social media telling us how he's definitely staying there when they win the CL rather than using them as a stepping stone and comparing his stats to neil taylor and claiming he's a better player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will go to Man C for the buy out clause. But then again I guess Mendes will get even more money if he moves this summer, and then again the summer after...

villa4europe Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 that's what i was thinking, interim move to develop a little bit before his big big move, PSG or city or real etc would see him as a 10 year investment, that's no good for mendes I was only half joking about wolves, wouldn't be a bad move for him at this age rather than trying to be an instant starter at a mega club 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spose it all comes down to how bad the Owners want to win football silverware or whether they want to make money, I doubt it's the latter. He's young, looks exciting, he has sexy written all over his football, will bring in the fans with out a doubt.

Sorry, but an Aston based club with a CV of 3 seasons in the 2nd tier and almost 10 years overall in the abyss, prior to that, with no notable European success since the early 80s is not buying Felix. And I do not care if our owner was Bill Gates or Bezos - it simply isn't happening. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
