Who would swap felix and cash for duran?
I would if madueke an co were sending in them crosses they do to jackson i think duran would have a field day, plau jackson outwide and let him rotate with maueke and neto sancho all of whom are not consistant and jackson would probably do better than all 3 currently.

Agree0 Disagree0

I’m personally not convinced about Duran but then again i didn’t understand why we signed Felix.

28 Jan 2025 12:25:38
I would give Felix away for free. In fact I'd probably pay a team to get rid of him.

28 Jan 2025 12:38:56
The thing about Duran is that yet again he is not that experienced and proven so may well be great in time and has got seven goals this season but by definition would now aged 21 be something of yet another gamble on a youngster. Yes but he can head the ball and that' something we lack up front.

I didn't understand why we went for Felix but have perhaps wrongly enjoyed and been taken by watching him but get that his end product not yet matching his often dazzling footwork in dribbling.

28 Jan 2025 13:01:27
I would like the SD'S to come out and tell us why they thought it was a good idea to sign JF and who he was going to replace bearing in mind the money he cost us.

28 Jan 2025 13:51:10
We won't sign Duran. Think of it the other way round, if you were Villa would you take Disasi and Felix and lose Duran?

We'll agree a deal to sign Liam Delap in the summer because Joe Shields.

I think it was part of the dewal with Atletico in which they bought the Gallagher. originally it was going to be a young forward at Atletico Omorodien involved in the deal but the lad went to Porto so we had to take Felix instead. as I understand it. Of course Felix was at one stage seen as the great rising star and cxlearly he has a mass of skill. Perhaps under the right manager he could realise that potential again or perhaps he just doesn't have the mental strength/ ability to take right decisions I don't know.

28 Jan 2025 14:33:28
Bill, why do you think an explanation is needed? He may well stay at the club.

I think he has qualities but I’m a Chuka fan.

28 Jan 2025 15:35:25
Think the only reason Felix was signed was that it was linked to the Conor deal, just didn't need that type of player

Still amazing that we didn't sign a number 9,

28 Jan 2025 17:21:11
Yep. PSR meant that instead of a swap deal, there had to be two 'separate but linked' transfers - exactly the same as Maatsen/ Kellyman.

Everything was agreed between Ateltico and Chelsea until we also tried to sign Neto, at which point Mendes told us that he'd only arrange that if we got his client Felix out of Atletico. The Samu deal miraculously collapsed, and shortly thereafter the Felix deal was agreed.

God knows why we were even interested in Neto, given he's shown virtually nothing in his career so far. Something like 18 career goals from a wide player, shocking.

28 Jan 2025 18:21:09
So, we could only sign Neto if we signed Felix?

Truly remarkable knowledge! Again, I have read zero that supports that view. It’s a massive pity that Ed002 isn’t around to add some colour/ clarity.

28 Jan 2025 20:04:18
Tom, whatever you think about RBD’s theory, he is dead right about Neto, another monumental mistake by the SDs.

28 Jan 2025 20:42:34
Jimbo, you are correct because I can find nothing to it’s anything other than theory.

I have said that I would have signed Neto every day and twice on Sunday. I will stick with my assessment for a while.

29 Jan 2025 08:55:05
That's the problem Tom, sticking with things rather than improving them, no wonder we are in free fall.

What is it now some 6 points out of 21,since Xmas, that apart from Southampton is relegation form.

29 Jan 2025 08:00:30
I do agree RBD. I like felix but the transfer didn't make sense. I have no options on neto but I think all our wingers are the same quality (including sterling who were paying something like 80 % of his wages to play for a rival)

29 Jan 2025 11:25:52
Bill, I’m talking about sticking my view on Neto. Not “sticking” generally.

Our form/ results over the last few games has been bang average that’s for sure but it’s the points over a season that matters.

I repeat, I didn’t see any reason to sign Felix but that doesn’t mean he hasn’t got some quality.
