Alvarez done deal - £82m to Atletico

[Skrastins]

Felix proven PL flop, bad attitude. Losing Alvarez for him would be a massive downgrade

to be fair, it was in a very poor Chelsea side

There is chance that he can open for us.

Plays in both the positions Alvarez did. Much more technically gifted as an AM.

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.

Why would we do this deal, who benefits more. Sorry but it’s a no from me.

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.

Might as well get Oleg Shatov if we are really looking at Felix

I prefer Julian to Felix, but if Julian wants to go, I am not against Felix.

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.

 

[Lord Blue]

the only way i'd take Felix is in a straight swap for either Phillips or Cancelo. and even then i'm not convinced.

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
