João Félix

[SA Gunner]

Its a big deal yes, but 16m for Felix, without an option, is a gamble I'd take if it means we go for the league.

Also if the price is that high, I'd insist on more than halving an option to buy thereafter (50-60m).

Whatever happens with him won’t be decided till the last minute of the window if that madness is their opening stance. Game of chicken commencing.

And frankly that alone rules us out as I feel like we want all our business done nice and early.

This Twitter thread by Ben Jacobs does a good job of explaining not only the finances but the thought process behind any Joao Felix deal (I'll post the most relevant Tweets):




So basically, people are waiting to see if Atletico soften their stance which would mean buying him outright in January could be cheaper than loaning him + option because if they go with the option, Atletico may want their £80+ valuation since it's only an option, but may take less if you go right for the buy right now.

Still, all if and's and maybes, but what seems to be legit and set in stone is the £8m loan + £5.3m wages option

The big loan fees make sense if you can be certain they settle in very quickly. We've not had huge luck with that, do many teams? Tough one, the reward could be huge. Not my money so don't care much!

A.Madrid trying to hard to get everything they paid for Joao. they making things difficult i wouldn't mind loan plus 60M obligation but paying 18M now then pay like 60-70M later in summer or even more because the way A.Madrid going they likley will ask for 80M+ at least. Joao is very talented but he didn't show anything at A.Madrid to worth paying 80M+

Need to sign the lad just to have Robbie post a video arguing with his regulars that he had it on good authority that "Yao Felix" is how his name is pronounced in Portugal

If Edu pulls this off, I'll sponsor his next dozen BBQs.

I just watched the video. Tbh orn was just saying we are just one of many clubs. And it will mostly just be a 6 month loan with no option which has been mentioned already. Won't have high hopes based on this.

Yeah I was watching it. If he came on loan and did well I see no reason they wouldn't just get the deal done like they did with Ødegaard.

Jesus, Saka, Martinelli, Mudryk, Eddie, Joao Felix. I will love it, and I think I deserve.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Its not major update it's well known we in for him the question remain is A.Madrid will they be realistic with thier demands?

You forgot ERS

 

[drippin]

It's just to show how silly demands Shaktar has. Good to have this and Gakpo as examples this window.

 

[Sanchez11]

We aint paying

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

The only dumb who have no strategy when comes to transfers is todd he'll likely pay 20M loan fee. Manutd from the late report seems they not spending alot in January.

About us it'll be down about how much we'll pay for mudryk.

 

[OnlyOne]

Not usually one to comment. But Muddy & Felix and we'll win the league.

Afraid you're going to steal the keys to Fort Knox, buddy. Edu's going to be buying all of Patagonia's prime cattle before long

 

[Bagels]

So is the idea Felix in addition to Muddy?

Ain’t any ****ing about this season.

Where did Ben Jacobs come from? Over every transfer rumour like a rash. Ever had some good info?
