João Félix

He probably would have made a good signing for us, if we got him before Atletico did. As others have said, any move for him now just wouldn't make sense financially. I get the feeling that even now, he wouldn't be a signing that hit the ground running, winning games for us(in the PL). Pep would have to work with him for a season or two, to bring him up to speed but he'd get there I think.
 
He doesn’t leave AM for anything close to what we would be willing to pay for him. He was a NINE figure transfer, and AM isn’t cutting that in half!

How true are the reports that Athletic pay huge wages? I heard Griezman and Suarez are on around 350/4k a week and Diego Costa also earned big money
 
Business is business. He was up against an immense defence which has to be taken into consideration. I'd take him for the right price...
I don’t think Atletico will be giving us the “right price” for any player for a few years, let alone ones they’d like to keep. And I don’t know we’d want to do business with them in this scenario either
 
Off topic but I think Sané played really well against Villarreal
Only saw bits of the match and Bayern looked dreadful generally. I was a big fan of Sane at City but he has apparently had a lot of criticism in the German media since he went to Bayern so I am not sure how well he is doing over there. I have seen some of his matches on TV but I am still not convinced he is the same player after his terrible injury. I will always have great memories of him from 2018 when he and Sterling were unplayable on either wings. Perhaps City got the best of him.
 
A bit like David Silva was?
Nothing like David Silva. In fact I don't think Silva was ever out of his depth despite what some fans said. He looked a class act to me from his first match. I just think Felix has been over-rated since day one (a bit like Jadon Sancho). I am not saying he is a bad player I just don't think he could hack it in the PL. Some of these players get hyped up too much.
