But for Joao Felix, I think he’ll be our perfect signing, and we’ll the perfect team for him. Whenever I saw with Chelsea (not that I saw much) he was dangerous. The fact that people are doubting him is perfect for us to reduce his value and not many big teams willing to get him. If we add Joao to our team, I think we’ll go to the next level in terms of attacking force. We’d have one of the best midfields in the league. Really hope we get him. A loan with a buying view would be perfect. Won’t be easy but that’s what Monchi came for. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t see both a long cup run and a strong league finish. It’s just way too many games. West Ham improved by the time they had more games, their worst for was before playing many games. We just have to get the right balance. We won’t play the first round of LC, which we even forgot it happens for Europe qualifying teams lol. Chelsea and Spurs will go first. See who draw get us against, and plan from there. If it’s non PL side then we should keep focusing. I remember us surrendering one year against City, because we had a relegation game against Bolton, just to go there and lose 3-2 after being winning. Just plan it right and see where it takes you to. We won’t play FA Cup until we know where are we on the League Cup and Europe. Also we’ll know who’s in the semi final (if we made it in the league cup). If City is still there then we’ll have to give it a try in the FA Cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok they made the Champions League final this year, great. Will they do the same next year? Nope, it was a one off for that squad. I also didn't say they weren't a big club, I said he could have joined one of the biggest clubs as second choice. To me the biggest clubs are the top 10 or so clubs in the world. Wow. How many times have you actually watched Inter to come to this assessment of their playing squad? Their first XI is quality. And I would argue heavily that Inter are a top 10 team in the world, and why would anyone choose to be a backup at a “top 10” rather than first choice at a top 15 (at worst?!) club?

TRO Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 I think we need a forward with Athleticism, pace and an ability to work, like Ollie does. Where we are going, won't cut it for forwards to be waiting around for the perfect pass.....They have to work the opposition. Big names, can sometimes be gained from having just good moments in a game....not knocking that, but its not enough.....Top defenders don't hand gifts on a plate, opportunities have to be worked for, so any notion of a non-industrios player, or half soaked bod, is not for me. However.........I trust UE to get it right. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supervillan78 Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 (edited) Not really surprised nobody has come in for Felix. Pretty sure I read that he only wants to play for a club currently in the Champions League and I’d imagine he’d want/expect ridiculous wages also.

And yet he didn’t exactly pull up trees last season so maybe he needs to readjust his expectations. I’m not that fussed. I don’t want to sign someone who thinks they’re doing us a favour. Makes me think of Gerrard. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post alreadyexists Posted July 1, 2023 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted July 1, 2023 (edited) So, I think we still need; GK (understudy to Emi) ST (back up and competition for Ollie) FW (fast and energetic attacking midfielder/forward) If we can get those I’ll be thrilled.

Popular Post useless Posted July 1, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted July 1, 2023 (edited) Z Club announced the transfer of its young player, Omar Khadr, the star of the team, born in 2006, to the English Aston Villa ranks. Alaa Nabil, head of the Zed youth sector, said, in exclusive statements to Laila Koura, today, Saturday: “Omar will become a professional in Aston Villa, so we previously signed a twinning with the English club, and during the course that we organized last Ramadan, they saw the player and were impressed with his abilities, and he actually traveled and went through a week-long cohabitation period and will travel the next period.” to sign an official contract with the club The star of the Egyptian junior national team has a story with football that started with Zamalek Club and almost witnessed his professionalism in Portugal before turning his destination to England. Khader was born on the 25th of May 2006 in Alexandria Governorate and started his football career at the Emberkab Sports Club Academy in his hometown and defied the supervision of his father, Khader Ismail (Chico), before going, at the age of nine, to the tests of the Border Guard Club. The young player caught everyone's attention in the military club's tests, to be directed to Zamalek club, which I tested, and Sami Al-Shishini got his signature. Khadr gave a wonderful performance that caught the attention of everyone, whether the coaches of the youth sector in Zamalek or the coaches of the competitors, so that his colleagues called him Al-Hawi and described him as “Ahraf”, a player in Egypt Khadr, who occupies the position of the left wing and playmaker, became in January the most expensive player in Egypt in his senior year, after he moved to Zed for 4 million pounds. Alaa Nabil said about Khader, "He is a distinguished player and has a European (style), and he must become a professional during this period, because he has the capabilities and he is a distinguished player. The young player, who was expected to ascend to the first team for Zamalek this year, had a period of living in the English club Aston Villa, then he was a step away from moving to Vitória Guimaraes, before the friendly Z tournament that was held last Ramadan contributed to the settlement of the English club, which concluded an agreement Twinned with Z for his stand I can't be bothered to post a link, ciao.

Pretty sure I read that he only wants to play for a club currently in the Champions League and I’d imagine he’d want/expect ridiculous wages also. Me neither. There was a big fuss over him in January and he opted for Chelsea. He hardly done much there to convince me he would have been a good signing for us. I also read that he will apparantly only sign for a team playing in the CL. To be honest, I would rather with put Archer in the first team than sign Felix. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
