João Félix

They almost immediately looked better with him coming on. Just the wrong team for him.

The only thing to help him would be the Portuguese teammates

TBH In the Portuguese game I watched Felix seemed to be not sync with the teammate and not really effective at all. However their coach is not good. So I cannot say for sure whose fault it is...

I don’t fully blame him for not doing well with the Portuguese team — I mean, after all, it’s very close to missing the World Cup.
However, I am not as forgiving of his usually poor showings for Atletico as so many here. It’s very easy to blame it on Simeone and his style. However, it was under the Argentinian that Griezmann became a world class player and was Ballon D’Or nominated, for instance.

Felix looks lost in this AM team. He’s trying to play Pepball in an Allardyce system.

As soon as these gullible young players stop listening to greedy agents the better it'll be for them.

There's a job out there for a player's "tactical agent", someone that has the kids best footballing interests at mind, rather than his pockets.

This lad has been ruined by his immaturity and shithouse agent.

It was similar to sending a 14 year old Messi to play for Stoke City's Tony Pullis.

Agents are ruining football.

I think you possibly meant agents have ruined and continue to ruin football.

These greedy bastards won't take any restrictions on their commission being enforced without a long and difficult struggle .
 
Just do not see Felix as a player that we need in our current squad. If we had not bought Grealish then maybe but really we need to be looking for a "Pausa" player to eventually replace Gundo and I do not think Felix fits that role or that of an out and out striker.

I can see why he would want to come to us though given our Portuguese contingent and style of play.

I was bemused by his move to Athletico - big fee and not the right team for a player like him. Didn't really suit either party (in sporting terms).

not think Grealish will be dropped into to do that?

I am not sure that Grealish has the "pausa" quality. He seems more all action like KdB and Foden and at least one of our 8's needs to be a bit more measured.
I think Grealish will stay in the front 3 as left wing or false 9 until he starts looking more at home.

I dont mean this season, but i can see the way he plays being a big factor into droppin him into the Gundo LCM. He has a better sense of 'pausa' than the others tbh.
 
Yet to be impressed by him since he went to Atletico.

You can blame the style of play all you want, but if he was that good he'd still have made more of an impact.
 
I think the world of him. I don’t see how there’s a valuation they’d accept which would be an acceptable risk for us but I think he’d be phenomenal in that false 9 position. This is a really clever player who struggles at Atletico because he’s looking to combine and make interplay and that team just doesn’t support it. If we could bring them down in valuation he could be a steal

Good player with plenty of potential but that crazy fee to a club that plays a style of football that strangles his talent is a state of affairs that will damage the kids career. He needs a move.

100% correct. Definitely a fine footballer their waiting to be unleashed. His agent fucked up massively with the move to Atletico Madrid, Who in their right mind thought Simeone was the man to progress this kids career! The worst part is that moves like that and the damage it probably caused Felix will stick with him for his career, His confidence is shattered along with going backwards and not possessing because of the managers style of play.
