Needs 200 millionMarca are reporting we have sent intermediaries to Madrid to sign Felix and Casemiro.
This post perfectly sums up my feelings on all this.Sweet, after this let's make a move for VVD, Joshua Kimmich and Reece James
Trying to sign players befitting a club of this stature? Mendes will get Felix out of atletico if he wants him out of atletico. And Madrid would be daft to turn down 50m plus for a 30 year old. All about the money - do we have it?Surely this is BS. If it isn’t then WTF are we doing?
Wasting time. Panicking. All of the above. It's a complete disgrace at this point.Surely this is BS. If it isn’t then WTF are we doing?
We are not in 2012, but 2022 mate. We are a joke currently.Trying to sign players befitting a club of this stature? Mendes will get Felix out of atletico if he wants him out of atletico. And Madrid would be daft to turn down 50m plus for a 30 year old. All about the money - do we have it?
This is how we choose our transfer targets:
Understand that but if you’re trying to sign a player of Joao Felix’s stature surely this is at the forefront of your plans and you move a lot earlier in the window than this. I suppose you could argue this could be a contingency with the transfer funds earmarked for De Jong but it seems a bit far fetched to me.Trying to sign players befitting a club of this stature?

£100m for him to score 15 goals a season?Tweet

It's not AS crazy as it sounds. There's a possible swap-deal with money coming into play here.What the feck is going on now.
John Murtough is reenacting Woodward 2013-2015 Bambi on ice.What the feck is going on now.
The Felix deal would be linked to the Ronaldo one. These things take time to fall into place. Maybe ETH did genuinely want to keep Ronaldo and only now Felix has been offered as a possibility is he up for it. Casemiro seems linked to De Jong looking unlikely.Understand that but if you’re trying to sign a player of Joao Felix’s stature surely this is at the forefront of your plans and you move a lot earlier in the window than this.

I’m sure we are interested in the player and may have enquired if we have money to splash to see if there is any remote chance but I doubt there’s any more to it than that.
He's in an extremely defensive team. But he's a class player anyway and I think the right coach could have him scoring good numbers with his talent and ability.£100m for him to score 15 goals a season?
Well given that all of these rumours have kept flying since about 6/7pm, it could very well be that the Americans have seen the shocking state of our team and signed off on a higher budget that we previously didn't have in order to secure Champions League football?Understand that but if you’re trying to sign a player of Joao Felix’s stature surely this is at the forefront of your plans and you move a lot earlier in the window than this.

One day, “Morata is part of our plans, we don’t want him to leave”It's not AS crazy as it sounds. There's a possible swap-deal with money coming into play here.
- Simeone wants Ronaldo
- Ronaldo wants to go to Atletico
- Mendes is both Ronaldo and Felix's agent
- Felix earns some 300k a week, Ronaldo is willing to reduce his wage to play in the CL and could very well accept 300k a week.
- We would pay Felix more than that.
That would be typical of the way we’re run wouldn’t it. Given additional funds in the last two weeks of the window that could have been used towards some of our primary targets earlier in the window had it been available.Well given that all of these rumours have kept flying since about 6/7pm, it could very well be that the Americans have seen the shocking state of our team and signed off on a higher budget that we previously didn't have in order to secure Champions League football?
Of course I do. All the rumours tonight have been utterly ridiculous. Doesn't mean I won't have fun being entertained by the fantasy they are selling. All optimism will be sucked out of me on Monday, so might as well enjoy it while it lasts.One day, “Morata is part of our plans, we don’t want him to leave”
Next day “Here, take our golden boy franchise player instead”
Don’t you realise how ridiculous that is.
You think we'll sign FDJ and João Felix?Well given that all of these rumours have kept flying since about 6/7pm, it could very well be that the Americans have seen the shocking state of our team and signed off on a higher budget that we previously didn't have in order to secure Champions League football?
It would be classic Glazer behaviour.That would be typical of the way we’re run wouldn’t it. Given additional funds in the last two weeks of the window that could have been used towards some of our primary targets earlier in the window had it been available.
Don't forget about CasemiroYou think we'll sign FDJ and João Felix?
The only question that remains is who will be the Ajax Fellaini equivalent that we’re gonna overpay for on deadline day.This is officially the summer of Moyes.
de Jong, Casemiro and Felix would be our version of Fabregas and Bale.
"Oh shit. we're not going to get anyone. Let's send Murtaugh into Madrid and pretend like we went for a few superstars."
