Alvarez done deal - £82m to Atletico

Felix still only 24 somehow. Bags of ability. Can play in the two positions Alvarez played in. I quite like it tbh.

J.Felix needs Pep.

He is a very talented footballer who needs structure and someone to believe in him.

He got big moves early on, different clubs, managers, playing styles all disrupted his progression.
He will also be partly to blame being very young and getting too much too soon financially.

But, he has a bit of life experience now and if Pep could work him into our system he’d be a very handy addition in my view.

But does Pep need J.Felix?

He is more mobile than Alvarez as a AM, but do we really need him?

About 4 years too late.

How many others have tried to get the best out of him ?

His initial hype doesn't seem to have carried well, although Atletico seemed a terrible choice at the time.

Not watched a great deal of him tbh.

He’s played at Atletico not a good fit for him. Then a dysfunctional Chelsea team on loan and was decent at Barca last season.

Still feel like he’s got so much ability that Pep could really harness and I think in our system he could thrive.
 
I've got to admit, i would love to see what Felix could do under Pep as hes incredibly talented, but it would be a huge risk to let Alvarez go and have him as the replacement.

That was a " like " for the sentiment behind the second sentence but not for a move to take him in any Alvarez transaction, or other transfer on balance.

If Pep had really wanted him, I am sure we would have taken other opportunities as they arose.
 
In the world of PSR and FFP - money is absolutely key. Rarely see high level deals conducted with players being given to the selling club nowadays.

I was gobsmacked that the Luiz to Juventus deal went through

Clubs want money
