I didnt want to say anything. As Im not really in the know but when it comes to Atletico I’m kinda lucky to know someone who’s a season ticket holder and frequently goes to their games. He told me yesterday that Atletico would sell Felix this summer if a fee of 60 to 70 mil was brought forward due to Atletico and Simone really wanting Nunez. Also that a premier league club have been in contact with Atletico and Mendes about the availability of Joao Felix.

Update to this yesterday not transfer related but asks how Felix would fit in our squad since he watches him every week, was surprised by what he said, we think Felix is just a left wing but he’s not.

Simone has had him drop deeper this season when one of the midfielders comes off Felix has dropped into a CAM role where his passing can be used. He’s played everywhere this season LW,CAM,Striker Even once as a LWB.

He said Joaos passing is what Simone has utilised a lot this season, his eye for detail and the ability to get the striker in behind is second to none. One chance he created looked like there was nothing on but he found Suarez with a outside the boot pass that went through 3 defenders and created a chance that Suarez should’ve finished. His passing is actually phenomenal instead of dribbling at players hes lifted his head up to see where others are and he finds them. Stats don’t do him justice as Suarez hasn’t been the Suarez of old this season.

I hope we don’t sell him as he’s finally showing that potential which we payed the money for, but Simone is obsessed with Darwin Nunez and we have all ready agreed terms with the player just need the money. Juve fucked us, they went back on their agreement for Morata so we need money now for Nunez. It’s why we are selling Lodi so cheap to Newcastle as well.

If you get him he walks into your attack I think the only player he would have trouble displacing is Foden as he’s a phenomenon. Was at the Champions league game could hear from my seat Simone shouting at Savic to double up on him to take him out. If you do get Joao. A front three of Haaland , Foden and Felix will rival that famous Barca three and you’ll probably win the champions league and a lot of trophies.

Wonder if Pep has his eye on him for an #8 as he matures.

Think we need to realise that if Felix is available this year then it makes sense, particularly if Sterling decides to run his contract down and leave on a free at the end of next season.
Likewise Mahrez is likely to be only offered a one year contract extension when his contract is up at the end of next season.
Felix is a quality addition and ensures that we keep our average squad age down. Considering Mahrez's age i dont think it blocks off Palmer who I would love to see get more game time.
I know pep doesnt seem to like loads of subs but dont we also have 5 subs in the prem from next season...

Looks like we are heading back to the lovely Keegan days. Because we cant defend, you score 3, we'll score 7. Bring it on.

 

[mrtwiceaseason]

All of it

Really I think it very generous at 4 months I would of said 3 ,he's a decent footballer but he sure as hell isn't a full back .

 

[mrtwiceaseason]

Anyone who thinks Joao Cancelo isn't a top quality football player is talking shite.

Cancelo is a top quality footballer but having seen every minute live he is a shocking full back

Lodi is going to Newcastle on the cheap?

Cancelo at left back is the best in Europe, Completely different player as a right back. He's obviously more comfortable on the left, Similar to Ruben Dias playing right sided centre back he is a shadow of himself to when he plays left sided centre back.

I wonder if its the press, when he was right back initially we set up in a 3133 in the press. Much more of a 424/442 press later in the season. He looked very comfortable in the 3133.
