UpTheVilla26 Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 I still think we should go and get Lo Celso. Emery knows him well, he's played in the League before and surely wouldn't be daft money (though knowing Levy he will want £250mill plus Martinez, Mings & Watkins for him). 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_eristic Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 5 minutes ago, Wes said: He's gone to Milan last year for 35m euros, reportedly, and it simply has not worked for him at all. He was their big money move last year and since then he's not scored a single goal. The hope would be is that the talent is still there, but Milan was just not well suited for him. This is a Monchi-esque move in my opinion. Going to a club like AC Milan as their expensive attacking wunderkind led to unrealistic expectations for kid who'd never played outside of the Belgian league. Definitely has talent, though, a more stable environment where he could be eased in might well get it out of him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He stood out because he quite literally stood out - he's well over 6ft tall but, at the time, had great technique and ball control which is rare in someone that height. He's gone to Milan last year for 35m euros, reportedly, and it simply has not worked for him at all. He was their big money move last year and since then he's not scored a single goal. The hope would be is that the talent is still there, but Milan was just not well suited for him. This is a Monchi-esque move in my opinion. He started well then Pioli killed his confidence 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you are a no to Felix but yes to Lo Celso. Yes slightly different positions but Felix is quality that hasn’t been tapped into whereas Lo Celso isn’t. Lo Celso will rightly end up at Betis. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felix is the better player I just have a bad feeling about him. My opinion on Celso has no baring on my thoughts on Felix. I don’t think we’ll sign either of them. I mean who’s this punk think he is squaring up to the great one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMightyVillans Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 with all these links it definitely feels like we will be breaking our transfer record on an attacking player this window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough, I just think Felix would be superb for us. He wasn’t used properly at A.Madrid and Chelsea was a shit show of a club last season but he looked like he cared and showed some quality. I think Emery would work wonders with him. As for the photo, you misunderstand the photo…it was a romantic moment 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A huge change at the top of Villa (Purslow out, Monchi & Heck in) - wouldn't surprise me one bit. There'll be a change to the way we do things, leaks will come from elsewhere if there are any, the dynamic shifts, the seasons change and the lion gets ready to roar... (that got a bit silly there, my bad!) 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monchi shouting through the open window that he's here for the boy and wants no trouble. 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not a bad egg as far as I know. Apparently the main reason he joined Atleti Madrid was to stay close to his parents in Portugal, he was still very young and a major star (bigger than Grealish at Villa) at Benfica. I had a chance to see him live in Lisbon and he stood out like no other. They also had a certain Ruben Dias on the pitch that day. We know they play a particular style of football at Atletico, it hasn't worked out, and he got a loan to the worst managed team last year. He is still very young and a major major talent who's path hasn't really been well set. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
