Genuine question; is he really that good? What is it about him that is driving these superlatives? Shot,passing, speed, skill? I've only seen youtube and he looks ok but nothing great and certainly not $100M great. I just dont see it?
Cheers. Where would you see him playing in our setup?The dogs knackers.... it’s his ability in-between the lines that sets him apart.
There are a few banging on about pace but he glides this lad, he’s similar to Zizou!
Exactly, when Khaldoon talked proudly of the fact we haven't got the most expensive player in every dept of the team, stories like this make a mockery of that interview.Fake news. Not going to happen.

Just watched this. He's clearly majestically talented. Thing that impresses me so much is his passing tbh. Really, really creative passer of the ball. Great natural finisher too, of any kind. I don't think we'll get him, but I can see why people are so excited. He's basically got everything other than searing pace.

We won’t get him, unfortunately, however if by some miracle we did, he is literally like Bernado in that he will excel in a number of positions, personally though I’d have him as a long term 10!

Overpriced like Mbappe was.....Looks a huge talent, way too overpriced though.
£120 mill for Mbappe looking good value now, he would cost over £200 mill to get him away from PSG.Overpriced like Mbappe was.....
Today's word of the day is: SARCASM£120 mill for Mbappe looking good value now, he would cost over £200 mill to get him away from PSG.

I think our owners are still worried about how our club is perceived throughout the world, and are now reluctant to throw hundreds of millions at the transfer market these days.The disappointing thing is, we won't sign him because we won't be willing to pay the big money.
I think the acquisitions have been very good since Pep has come to the club, but when players as good as David Silva and Sergio Aguero are heading towards the end of their City careers, as a club we really should be looking at just paying whatever it takes to land the best young players out there. Looking at the clips, he looks like a natural finisher, a very intelligent player and one which could become a massive world star. I'm more concerned about wages than transfer fees personally. Astronomical wages can unsettle the dressing room, particularly if a young player comes in earning more than players like Aguero and Silva who have been here a long time, but in regards to transfer fees I honestly couldn't give a shit. I'd stick two fingers up at Uefa and just pay whatever it takes to get the players we want.
If we want João Felix, let's just get him. No point in budgeting to get players who are 3rd or 4th on our list of targets, now is the time to get the top of the list.
Deals as efficiently as Bernardo Silva are very, very rare, it won't happen again. I hope we aren't holding on to this deal as a guide for future targets because we will miss out on some serious players.
