I really rate Joao Felix, but my only concern is how much his success would end up being down to suiting a Pep setup so much. After he leaves i'd have my doubts about his continued success. Hope im wrong there! Still would much prefer Haaland too.

He didn’t have Pep when he was wowing everyone at Benfica.

Whoever replaces Pep is going to be as close a match as we can get, they’re going to be au fait with false 9s and the like.

For the price quoted I'd be very happy with Felix as a Torres replacement just as long as Bernie stayed with us longer. As others mentioned Bernie seems happier this season and you'd think bringing in another one of his mates from the Portuguese squad could only help him settle.

The biggest drawback I see is McAtee would be blocked even more from getting in the first team. There's very little chance he'd stay if this happened.

He's a pure 8/10 - The midfield 3 is gonna be the hardest to get into, even Foden doesnt get time there in Peps system. He's far better with players ahead of him rather than in the front 3 like Palmer/Fodens integration, dont think Felix is gonna change that much.

joao felix would be incredibly underwhelming, but I highly doubt it'll happen

either way I would tell Mendes to fuck off after the shit he pulled in the summer

Well, Mendes still have client in our team especially portuguese player. So we still have a deal with him whether we want or not.

And i don't think what mendes pull last summer is detrimental for us at all.

Even then, he’s definitely not a man to spearhead the attack. Why sign a false 9 when we already have about 5 players here who can play that role. I’d literally take richarlison or DCL instead of him

I think us a City fans need to learn from the Lukaku situation at Chelsea. Why change what already works? Felix is suited to a false nine role moreso than anybody in our side. It's a gamble but not a Haaland level gamble where we need him to be that superstar.

Think I would prefer to riskk Haaland than Felix .

Despite playing at Altetico I think his ( Felix ) performances have been totally underwhelming .
 
Haha! Seems like a proper City thing to do in fairness.
Keep us dangling at the prospect of signing a superstar only to bring in somebody a couple of levels down instead.
The daft thing is the business model rarely lets us down so for me what will be will be. I’m sure we will struggle on to more silverware whichever option we finally commit to.
 
The lineups and possiblities with Felix will have FPL lineups a nightmare.. Every single player in the front 6 can lpay at least 3+ roles except Mahrez.

Ederson + 2CBs + Rodri and the rest just moving like the Red Arrows Dogfighting.

Felix is a perfectly fine second choice if the Haaland deal doesn't happen. Vlahovic won't wait forever to make his decision and so we need other backups. F9 is tried and tested in our team.

Swap for Gabby?

I would miss him but he’s our 3rd choice RW and doesn’t want to play Striker.

Joao Felix has the technical and physical ability to play the false 9 role perfectly and he can play off a striker or on the wings if Haaland joins.

Simeone would love Jesus and he’d get to lead the line for a massive club competing in the CL every season which is as good as it gets away from City.

Got to agree, love Gabby but I think this just fits and makes sense, he’d be a perfect rotational player who would be more in the mould of Merlin than Aguero, however, he’d cause chaos in our system
 
I can’t see why we couldn’t sign both Haaland and Felix, do the Sterling, DeJong swap with Barca so Frenkie replaces Fernandinho, bring in Felix as a sterling replacement, Haaland as the Ferran replacement and sign a left back to replace Mendy.
