It's Quiet Thread 15 - Txiki Blinders

[Gumzy97]

Not sure where you're getting this young project bit from, majority of our squad is young. If anything, I'd say there's been a positive indication recently with news of certain academy players being part of first team squad. You could argue Lavia is a young project, or Cole Palmer. Felix is 22 soon, not as young, he's been mishandled and misused in a team that is extremely defensive and one dimensional, Simeone isn't someone who helps young strikers become elite, but I think with our system, Pep will undoubtedly help him and make him great.

It’s Felixs attitude that is the problem. when they are winning he looks up for it. When atletico are losing he looks like he can’t be arsed

I don’t think we would seriously consider replacing the greatest PL striker of all time with a hyped youngster who has failed to deliver and has a worse than one goal in four games record over the last two seasons

Stat's aren't everything.

Going off mere face stats isn't a good way of viewing football. When Felix is fit and actually given a run of games he has been brilliant, so elegant to watch. Have people forgotten we were one of the few clubs after him when he was at Benfica? Even more so favorites till the whole Griezmann deal happened.

If you need a clip or something.

Never seen an issue with his attitude, the problem is Atleti play some pretty shit football and he clearly gets frustrated when the game plan is pump it up to Suarez and have Llorente running off him picking up knock downs.

It's not something a top manager can't fix. Again, in my opinion it would be a fantastic option if we get him, especially with Spurs playing hardball on some ridiculous number like 150m for Kane, which I doubt we'd pay

We have tried to sign him twice already.

I might be reading to much into it because Atleti fans can be brutal. There was reports of he had a bad game and fans started attacking his car

We know Pep and the club wanted him before, so IMO it all comes down to the price. They overpaid by €40m to help Mendes out taking a gamble he'd be worth so much more after a couple of years.

He's not thrived at the club, which happens, he's still very talented but we can't be expected to pay for Atletico's mistake.

No reason we can't work out a deal if they do want Bernardo. I'm sure Mendes can pull some strings.

If Bernardo really is that desperate to leave that is. If not, just focus on getting a 9 and see where it goes.

I’d give anything for Felix. I think he’s ridiculously talented and completely wasting his career there. I’d far prefer him over an aging and injured Kane. He is about as class on the ball as the best in our squad which is really saying something. If they are really bringing Griezmann back then we should do everything to land him
