Winter 2025 Transfer Window - hopes, speculation, rumours etc.

[BoVillan esq]

Felix and Rogers in the same side would be quite a thing.

Felix, Rogers and Ramsey behind Watkins could be pretty fucking spectacular.

Agree, hope Ollie can see that.

[Hookeysmith]

For those in the know is Felix as good as the hype around him. Not seen anything  of note at Chelsea yet

[brontebilly]

Hope we don't go for Evan Ferguson, Hove Seagulls are listening to offers.

Not liked by the locals round here, never really produced, injuries at a young age and seems to enjoy the nightlife.

Always suspected he was a boozer, taking far too long to get over his injuries. Hold up play is abysmal and lack of mobility a huge issue.

Aaron Connolly went down the same path didn't he?

Yep, very similar. Remember Connolly playing for Ireland away from home in some important qualifier in his early days. Limped off with cramp after about 60mins, ex manager Brian Kerr on co-comm made a barbed comment about 20 year olds shouldnt be limping off with cramp this early. Big brother women, multiple loan spell flops, stint in rehab last summer and in last chance saloon at Millwall now. Anthony Stokes another one, just about avoided jail recently in Dublin.

Whatever about Ferguson, who needs to wise up very quickly, the other two should have easily had long careers bottom PL/top championship level. Both had far more ability than someone like Andi Weimann for example but pissed it all away.

I'd be happy with Felix. He's a technically brilliant player who I suspect just needs to be given a steady run of games under a decent manager.

Surely Pochettino and Simeone are decent managers? He bombed under both.

[Villafirst]

Felix doesn't really convince me. Only one goal in 12 Premier League games so far for Chelsea.

A manager who actually wants him is probably a better way to see it.

Some of those games he's only played a few minutes in. 6 minutes against Wolves, 9 against Bournemouth, 1 against Spurs, 4 against us. So it's 1 goal in about 2 hours of football.

[Beard82]

Could do we some signings squad is looking very bare.

Didn't Simeone sign him? They spent a fortune for Athletico on him but flopped. You don't go to Athletico without knowing out of possession you need to work incredibly hard. But he wouldn't bother and eventually got bombed out.

It's January, so it's only those players out of favour or with contracts running down that are really on the market. Asensio is another one, like Felix, has played for top clubs and a top international side. He hasn't the mobility to play on our right so it's another 10 or nowhere. Those lads flatter to deceive really, for most of their careers too.

If it's a project we are looking for to regenerate an out of favour attacking player, there's only one that we should be going for.

[ozzjim]

Felix is Unai's white whale. Just not going to happen. I don't think we'll shell out on him.

[LeonW]

I think Felix would be a massive mistake. It looks like Emery really wants him, but I think he’d largely disappoint and be a massive wage burden. And where would he go from us if that happens? It would be another Coutinho situation I think.

[AV84]

Speaking of Coutinho, isn't he still ours?

[cdbearsfan]

Yes, until 2026.

Cunha, a much better option than Felix and Assensio.
