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. Not sure if I’m missing humour/sarcasm here but are you suggesting that he has no right to square up to another player because he’s not as good as them? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was joking mate. He’s still a punk though. Ateltico’s success over the years has been down to hard work and team spirit/unity. There are suggestions he wasn’t fitting in to that for whatever reason. As I said he obviously has a lot of talent. I just think Villa’s team spirit seems great at the moment so they have to be very careful nobody affects that.

These mckennie links are tiresome. I think we would have signed him instead of Leeds had we been interested. It's BS and I would be genuinely surprised if he came here.

I think we would have stormed him instead of Leeds had we been interested. It's BS and I would be genuinely surprised if he came here. I think we may have been interested a while back, but his stock dropped a bit after last season. I don't think he's good enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it similar to how people think Bailey is a bad egg? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He signs on loan, Emery works his magic and he turns out to be a good addition to the squad then we should then consider buying him (might be slightly cheaper by then too?) I think that would be the sensible approach. We aren't signing Felix and certainly not on loan. Have you not seen how the club operates? We bring players in on a free or we pay less than their actual value. We certainly dont loan players for £1million a game and we wouldn't be able to get him even if we wanted him as we aren't a CL club. Not yet at least. Nothing to see here.

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...

I've explained my thoughts about the player already, I don't rate him. I also agree and have stated previously that he wouldn't sign for us as we're not in the champions league either. The only reason a deal for this guy might have ever worked would have been to loan him first, I certainly didn't want us to just sign him (if there was any ounce of that ever being able to happen anyway).

Hope that makes sense. Yes totally. I was just explaining why there's no way that particular player fits in with our strategy. Chelsea paid a ridiculous loan fee for him and that's so far out of our domain it just wouldn't happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His attitude and ego is always questioned I think you have to go by how managers treats the players. For all his faults Simeone is a top manager and has had a lot of success. He has fallen out with Felix. You have to question why. Anyway he on crazy money and wants CL football. Bailey seems like a good guy to me. Probably his own worst enemy if anything.
