It's Quiet 18 - Wanna ring the bell?

Joao Felix would fit in lovely into our team.

Stunning player, love watching him. If only he’d have come here instead of Atletico when he had the chance.

We probably pulled out given the fee (Maguire, Sanchez, Koulibaly etc) but still, would’ve been a dream seeing him under Pep. Up there with missing out on FDJ for me.

Fair enough, but maybe I’m just not seeing it. I’ve watched him for athletico quite a few times and Chelsea and he’s been average. He has the odd game where he stands out

Maybe he just needs to move to a club who play a football style he suits?

He probably needs to change his agent and / or take a wage cut and go and actually play for a team that plays football. I agree, he see's passes that others don't - he just needs like minded players and managers around him imho.

Sad if he doesn't, but he'll be well compensated.

To be fair, Atletico had a good track record for forwards - Torres, Aguero, Forlan (yes, I know), Falcao, Costa - but it was just obviously the wrong move for him and you’d think Mendes would’ve known that for his client.

Mendes knew and advised the boy to join City. The boy wanted to go to Spain, the boy refused to come to city. He chose Atletico.

Such talent and you would think it had a matching brain. Footballers are something else!

Joao Felix ignored advice to join Man City instead of Atletico

The Portugal international was linked to Manchester City in the summer but opted to join Atletico Madrid.

Seemed like it was just a great cash deal at the time - especially for Benfica. If he'd have had any of those CF in front of him it may have been more interesting. Nine dogs of war and him means he wouldn't shine ( I maybe being a tad unfair on the odd player but I can't think of one atm).

I cant really see who's place he would take in our team. He's not a Bernie, Gundy or KDB. He would have to play wide and I think he deserves more. Things could be worse - he could play for Spurs!

Presume you mean Eddie and not Alisson.

Thats made my day. I know we talk about bargins, but what we've had out of him - wow. One thing we don't seem to discuss on this thread is new goalkeepers! Thank god.

*Fell for it! You've just ruined my day!

Mendes was no doubt too busy counting the cash! Disastrous move for the player and his development that any interested observer could have predicted.
What a player he could have been if he had come to City but was never going to happen at €126m!
Talent is there but he was hardly impressive at the World Cup with Portugal or Chelsea since January therefore fee would need to be appropriate and I don’t see us willing to take a risk on him

I think the original post references the annual singing of the 1 year contract extension of Scott Carson!
