Another talent that we will surely miss out. Wish the Saudis were here to help us fund but this type of player. Oh well...

According to Duncan Castles, we told Felix's representatives that we won't be making an offer. City sound like they are front runners.
Eh? I have no recollection of that.
I don't.
Ah shit, hope that is not true. Were we put off by his very good technical ability and eye for goal.
Imagine if City land Rodri and Felix!
The gap between us and the top teams is widening and I hope we get our act together soon

I hate to say it but from a footballing perspective I think Liverpool make the most sense, he'll slot in behind their front 3 perfectly.
I expected as much from our board. Too bad.
Don’t even joke about that!
I agree, he is a good full back, is it that he supposedly supports us or something? Also many sayign about how experienced he is....small teams in Belgium, short period at Bruge and then three years at PSG where he has not made many more appearances than Bissaka has for Palace?
We have some great young English right backs at th emomoent Aarons, see Reece James mentioned, Aronold and for me Bissaka is probably the best of the lot, why would people want Meunier over him...because he can cross....what folly
When you have massive holes to fill at RB/RW/CB/CM then spending 100 mil on a AM isn't the smartest move but then again our board will most likely focus on bringing Bale here, while neglecting what we actually need.
Where would Felix fit in at City?
(Eventual) David Silva replacement?

Will be the same kind of relief felt as when the other mammoth ego left - The special one himself
In that analogy then you wouldnt have wanted Gary Neville or Stuart Pearce or to a lesser degree Paulo Maldini.
People obsessed with attacking full backs like its modern football when there have been the likes of Thuram, Cafu and Roberto Carlos.
Think people seem to be jumping on a so called band wagon that Bissaka cant attack, he can, he obviously has a lot of room for improvement.....and then I see some of the same people saying why would we want to let Lukaku go when he IS an attacking player that cant even control a ball coming into him????
Bissaka is 21, English and already a fantastic full back defensively, already, but because he isnt the finished article yet going forward, people dont want him when he is already a better full back than any we have had for a decade?
Yes, probably through the middle, although there have been reports that Sane and/or Mahrez are off, so he'd probably get games out wide, too.
I thought that was supposed to be Foden or even Bernardo. Guess Felix could play in a few positions if it is true a few of their bench players are leaving.
Hard to see where Felix would fit in most teams nowadays playing 4-3-3. No real place for a support striker is there?
Replacement for Jesus? Rumours they are looking rid of him.
Felix is the replacement for Jesus. Baldy finally has his false striker that can actually be a top player instead of Jesus. He'll bench Aguero for him, he'll be underwhelming and then Aguero will save his arse again.
Why not play 4-3-1-2 ?
If a team has blistering full backs who can get up and down the pitch all day long then why not?
Question is who we have or can bring in to be those full backs.
You don't find a Cafu every day

Replace Gundogan and rotate with Silva and KdB is my guess.
Would replace Aguero. Pep has always wanted a false 9 striker.
I don’t think they’re looking to get rid, I think he’s just looking for first team football. No shame in that when you’re behind Aguero.
Looks terrible when you described that way. Why are we not gunning for Felix though?
Right now our need for signings in defence and midfield far outstrip the need for another striker.
Because we’re probably gunning for Sancho, and can’t sign every good player.
And that’s even if we are not interested anyway.
There's a reason. Alves was bought to please Neymar ( it seems Neymar wanted him) and still playing for the same reason.
If we let Pogba go to Real without getting atleast one actual top drawer player then Woodward needs sacking on the spot.
I'm talking Courtois, Carvajal, Varane, Casemiro, Kroos,or Asensio. Either of those plus money makes us a better team.
Preferably Kroos, Varane, Casemiro or Asensio in the deal.

I wish I cared. Don't have a single bit of attachment to any one of the overpaid twats in our squad. If they wanna leave, then feck them.
I actually wouldn't be harsh on Woodward if he's just looking to get a fee from Madrid.
There's quite a high chance that the players we could potentially get in a deal could turn out to be extremely underwhelming and ones that will lack the right mentality because they've been ditched by ,arguably,the best club in the world.
We certainly dont need another Di Maria case where the player is unmotivated and is longing for somewhere else.
25 million buyout clause,
I wouldn't get too optimistic.25 million buyout clause,
We'll pay at least double that, if we're even interested.
Ziyech would be a better fit instead of Bruno Fernandes from SCP. Ziyech is more of a artistic type of player that would provide craft and guile. For £25m, he's a bargain.
Another top player that they can call on when needed. City don't give a shit about where players fit in, see Mahrez, Sane, Jesus etc. All they care about is signing top players to improve the quality of their team. B.Silva is supposed to be the Silva replacement.
Bruno & Ziyech are my 2 muppet summer signings. I saw on twitter somewhere that we actually got linked to Ziyech today
