Felix is more exciting
Apparently they’ve offered him £600k per week plus a private jet.
They believe him to be the player to guide them back into the top 4 and lift the coveted Europa league.
Ambitious move.
In my opinion. @01cravend knows that's what I meant :)

Bruno and Bernie are cutting England's left side(Maguire included) to ribbons with slick passing and perpetual movement. Portugal are the dominant team but the scores remain level mainly due to Ronaldo missing chance after chance. Portugal look to the Joao Felix, he comes off the bench and straight into John Stone's pocket. His introduction also interupts Portugal's play as they had to reshape the team to fit him in, this give England's majestic midfield(Dier, Rice and Hendeson) a foothold in the game. It's the 88th min and Henderson sends Raz away down the left, who cuts it back to the incoming Sancho(who has picked up a postion where the midfielder sacrificed for Felix would have been), he slots the ball home thus confirming England as the greatest Nations league team in history.
Bruno and Bernie exchange a glance, they couldn't have done much more. Glory snatched away due to shoehorning a player in who doesnt fit the system.

It's not about excitement, they look far apart in terms of raw talent. Not sure Bruno is good enough to be a starting 11 player for top tier clubs, he'd be OK as a rotational option though.
Doesn't look like a Pep player as well, loses the ball too easily. I doubt City were ever genuinely interested in him.
Felix, on the other hand, is a typical tiki-taka player with incredible vision, you can't have too many of them in a Pep team.

Gives it away as much as Kev did at Wolfsburg. It comes with being direct and creating a shedload of chances.
28 goals and 14 assists from midfield make him look an OK rotational option?
Yeah... All that is exciting :)
Bruno - goal or assists every 89 minutes.
Joao - goal or assist every 79 minutes.
Which is more exciting and likely to become unplayable.... Hmmmm.....

Ones a midfielder the other is a striker in a 100+ goal scoring team
Gabby has a goal involvement every 83mins in all comps whilst "generational talent" Felix's is 91mins
Mbappe was every 56mins just for an actual generational talent reference. Joao will never reach his level
Forget generational talent. He is succeeding at better clip than Bruno in the same league. You bringing up Mbappe is a red herring.
We are not getting Mbappe. However, both Felix and Bruno are options. And Felix is producing at a better clip, is younger, better vision and better passing. Bruno also takes all Freekicks and Penalties.
I'm going to go with Felix on the facts.

Again you are comparing the goal stats of a midfielder to a striker.. like comparing Aguero to Silva.
Look at Joao felix in the Europe. All his goal contributions came in 1 game vs a 10 man Frankfurt, nothing in his 8 other appearances. Whilst Luka Jovic scored vs every opponent he faced.
He doesn't excite me in the slightest. And yeah we're not getting Mbappe but nor are we getting Felix.
That’s not a major difference unless you are comparing their whole career’s and still would not take into account things like ‘key passes’
Agreed. But I'd more likely take the 19 year old who broke into the 1st team this year over a 5th year seasoned guy with similar numbers.
