Really baffled as to how people can watch this guy with their own eyes and then they they don't want him? He is a magical player and we haven't had someone of this sort of quality and natural ability since Hazard. Even if his goals/assists numbers aren't that impressive, the sheer technical ability and vision be brings on the pitch with the quality chances created its a no brainer that we should sign him. Only sticking point is the potential fee, but im hoping a deal cam be agreed where its somewhat reasonable. The amount we ended up spending on Nkunku, if we had known about Felix before we almost definitely should and would have gone for him. Far superior player imo

I thought the same! Curious to what sort of fee we managed to get for him, but I would hope its at least a couple of million. Thank you! Its good to meet you

Just signed for Hull on a permanent deal. Good luck to him! https://www.wearehullcity.co.uk/news/2023/march/simons-signs-permanently/

in all fairness we dont have too many players that are on ridiculous wages anymore, only a few that are still left from the marina regime. Some players are also willing to take a pay cut to go somewhere they are happier. Lukaku is on stupid wages, but he actually took a pay cut to be back at inter. I know they dont want him anymore, but if another club of similar stature comes along, I think he would be somewhat willing to take another pay cut to move. Koulibaly is another that there were rumours he wanted to move back to Italy, and he would have been willing to take the pay cut as well but after his recent performances i think he will end up staying.

Watched him play plenty, especially this season. If he was as good as some of you claim he is maybe west ham wouldnt be battling relegation. Keep him away from this club.

As per the FA rules, we are only allowed a maximum of 17 non-homegrown players in the team. In a 23 man squad, we can use 6 homegrown players, or in a 25 man team we'll need 8. We are already planning on a mass exodus in the summer to cut down on this huge squad size but who do you think makes the cut and adheres to the premier league and UEFA rules of only having 17 non-homegrown players? And who of the current squad are we selling as well to help with FFP? Keepers - Kepa, Slolina, Cumming Defenders - Badiashille, Silva, Chilwell, James, Koulibaly, Colwill, Cucurella, Fofana, Gusto Midfielders - Enzo, Kovacic, Carney, Hall, 2 new midfielders? Forwards - Felix, Nkunku, Mudryk, Sterling, Fofana, Madueke, Havertz Sell: Mendy(10m), Bettinelli(Free), Chalobah(30m), Azpi(5m), Kante(Free), RLC(5m), Mount(50m), Gallagher(40m), Zakaria(loan return), Auba(5m), Pulisic(30m), Broja(30m), Ziyech(20m) Total: Around 220m (havent even taken into account loaned players like Lukaku, Sarr, Ampadu etc which can raise total even higher) This is just a rough draft, assuming we sign 2 new midfielders as well. 17 homegrown players and 8 homegrowns in there. Seems we can quite easily meet the quotas as long we are heavy on the selling of players and get rid of all the deadwood. We are also in a good position to sell a lot of homegrown talent that won't make it here, and they go down as pure profit in terms of FFP which helps us massively. Looking at the way the squad is currently, I think we are very close to having an elite squad that can compete on all fronts!

very overrated player in my eyes. Much prefer Lavia, Kone or Ugarte who seem 100x better on the ball than Rice who's just the typical thuggish DM

That was while they had Enzo who was their best player if not one of the best.

based on what im reading in this thread people are overrating Bayern. They have not been that impressive this year, especially in the bundesliga, but I do still think they are probably more likely than not to beat us but I definitely would rather play them at the moment than Napoli or City. Ideal draw for me would be Benfica and beating them would be glorious just to see Rui Costa get pissed off even more! Both the milan teams im sure we can take as well and out of the rest preferably madrid as they havent looked all that good this year either, but they are still scary when it comes to the CL. Knowing our luck and city's bribery though we'll get Napoli and City will get one of the milan teams!
