João Félix

I want to us to sign this lad. But let's be honest. With no imminent sale of Jesus or Sane on the horizon. I find it hard to believe we'd throw 120m at this lad in the near future.

Stuart Brennan seems to think we are only in the market for two players and none of them being attacking players.

Is City's interest in Felix genuine? I am not so sure. I feel as if Portuguese press are using our name to bump the price up like they did with Bruno Fernandes.

This one has Atletico Madrid written all over it following the sale of Griezmann. Get your money on it chaps.

Brennan links us with Wan-Bissaka if Danilo were to leave, despite widespread sources included Castles and Sam Lee saying we are clearly interested in Cancelo. He does not even mention Cancelo as a target for the RB position. I would ignore his two target claim until one of our three more reliable sources were to say otherwise.

Aguero is 31 and has two years left on his deal. Silva has one year left and we may have a transfer ban next summer so we need to plan for 2020/21 then we should be buying for that season as well this summer. For that reason alone the interest in Joao Felix makes sense.

That and he does have world class potential. That may not be realized, but with players like this, you either sign them early in their career and try to cultivate that potential or you pay the world for them later if they reach it.
 
why is everyone so desperate for felix, I've personally never seen him play, he was on telly the other day and showed nothing of the expected brilliance which he surely would have for hazard type money, he plays in an ok league nothing special, so why are people so desperate, we don't even know (apart from twitter) that we are in for him.someone needs to convince me he is the 2nd coming because for 100m he fucking should be
 
Felix maybe a world beater in time but there is no evidence that he will improve city. 120m euros is madness.
The wonderkid from Brazil pedrinho is valued at 50m euros.??? And has a lot more pace.

Pep is the evidence he'll improve almost every player does. He'd replace Silva, not known for his speed.

Bernardo replaces david and this kid from Brazil is half the price and looks twice as good.

I used to think so but think Pep prefers Bernardo wide. Honestly I don't care that much, I'm relaxed leaving it to the club, seems to work out ok. It does make me smile everyone worried about fees though.

Foden says hi!
 
I keep seeing people say he will be an attacking midfielder for us...can't see that at all. If we extend Gundogan what would be the point of playing this lad there when we'd have De Bruyne, Bernardo, Gundogan, and Foden there? And that's only AFTER Silva leaves.

IMO the only chance this happens is if we sell Sane this summer, and he is 100% going to be a forward if he comes.

Don't think we will extend Gundogan and he'll leave with Silva next summer, Pep seems to prefer Bernardo wide, after this season that leaves KDB and Foden. I agree if Sane stays we don't need him this season which is why I think we wouldn't be averse to leaving him there on loan.

Sure, that's the ideal model, but you can't name a big club that doesn't pay for potential when a player at a mid-level club focused on developing talent steps up. It's just how it is.

How it usually is, involves the usual suspects who overpay for the big publicity older players, overpaying for the big publicity younger players, while City get in early on someone else & snap them up whilst they all argue about the other guy.

This guy is in the news every day but so far his agent doesn't seem to have successfully linked him with anything concrete from Real or Barca, or even seriously with Utd, in spite of trying each day.

It could be that he only wants to play for Pep, but it could also be that either those teams can't afford him or don't want him, both of which I find concerning, because if they thought he was that good, they would find the money.

I haven't seen anything so far to suggest he's worth anything like the fee being asked, but I don't watch him every week.

Half his highlights reels though, quite often cut out just after he beats a couple of players, which means he then lost the ball on each occasion, like Mahrez & Sané get panned for.
