If they’ve turned that down then he isn’t coming. Can’t say I’m too fussed, I’m more annoyed that we apparently have 130m to spend after all but aren’t interested in using it wisely.
Joao Felix / on loan to Chelsea
- Thread starter Attila
- Start date

All and good getting him, just a shame he will barely touch the ball.
If this were true then why wouldn’t we have just met the valuation for one of our primary targets like Antony?
I totally understand not wanting to overpay to save a few million here and there but it’s rendered pointless if we then go and clusterspunk money left, right and centre in the last weeks of the window because the football’s started again and we’ve remembered that the players we already have are shite. This club.
For what it’s worth I don’t really believe we have offered 130 but would not be surprised if we have enquired this week because we’re just desperately trying to sign literally anyone that we’ve been interested in.

Atletico paid pretty much that amount to buy him so doubt they’d be interested in selling
I think it's because he is better than Antony and is probably intended to replace Ronaldo.
Most likely a BS story - since when have we had that sort of money to spend on anybody? We were linked with Vardy on Monday, people.
More bullshit leaks to make the fans look like the club is making an effort.
This all seems like a huge joke. Just promote the kids.
Rubbish
Yeah I could see that and I think as a long-term solution for our forward line he would be close to top of the list, maybe the very top.
This late in the window though to try and complete such a deal doesn’t fill me with confidence. It can’t look good to the player.
I am glad our new, sensible, considered transfer strategy is working.
Probably not because we ain’t signing him…
No, ETH would.
I don't really understand the links with Matheus Cunha, Felix or even SMS. They all thrive in the areas that are occupied by Bruno. Unless we intend to sell him, I don't see a logic in these links.
One of the most talented false 9’s in the world…. Never a stupid invesment and certainly a risk worth taking. This is exactly what we need.
SMS is a box to box, Felix is a false 9. Isn’t Bruno a 10?
In a perfect world a part exchange deal could be done which would see Ronaldo and Bruno at Atletico with Felix coming here.
Unfortunately I get the impression that Bruno's penalty inflated goalscoring exploits a couple of years ago have earned him untouchable status in the eyes of Murtaugh and Arnold.
Bruno isn't suited to Ten Hag's football and rightfully should be warming the bench.
Bayern could build a title winning squad for that.
We could just offer 15m more for FDJ so I don't see how the 130M offer for Felix is realistic (different kinds of players but makes zero sense)
If we have 130m euros for felix, 100m euros for de Jong and 80m euros for Casemiro - Why the hell have we spent the entire window looking at cheap players and thinking about possibly paying 15m for Rabiot?
300M could buy us everything we need to play Ten Hag style football

But is it the plan and in that case why isn't he for sale?
Must be a lie.. no way we have that amount of money 
What a load of nonsense.
Thats a lot. Really good player though. Offer more.
I've just lost all interest at this stage. It's just a farce and there's no way of knowing the truth with so much rubbish being spouted.
Bit too logical for Utd mate, this is 2022, we don't operate like that.
Not upfront cash no. It would obviously be spread out over a number of seasons though.Must be a lie.. no way we have that amount of money

Well we wouldn’t buy all 3
Hahaha yeah right
Exactly, we could have a whole team for 300m. But that would require competent scouting. It's not like we've known we need the rebuild since November or anything....If we have 130m euros for felix, 100m euros for de Jong and 80m euros for Casemiro - Why the hell have we spent the entire window looking at cheap players and thinking about possibly paying 15m for Rabiot?

Casemiro is because FDJ isn't coming but yeah, it's still 200milIf we have 130m euros for felix, 100m euros for de Jong and 80m euros for Casemiro - Why the hell have we spent the entire window looking at cheap players and thinking about possibly paying 15m for Rabiot?

It's so clearly a pack of lies.
Felix is nothing like Nunez or Arnautivic . Seems like a strange shift of strategy.
You need an intervention if you believe we offered €130m for Felix.
If we offered that for him and they had the audacity to turn it down I'm pretty sure it's fake but if it isn't, both clubs are run by huge idiots...he's worth half that at best..turning 130m down for that kid
