João Félix

Amazed we have not gone for him and I am certain he has been offered several times, hence there must be something amiss with the lad, not technic for sure, must be mentality/personality issues.

Dunno mate. I know we were one of a number of top clubs interested in Félix before his £113m move to Atletico.

Like I said, at age 23 & if the deal was cheap enough, why not try a deal with an obviously very talented, but currently drifting footballer?

KDB, Salah, SWP, Duff, Sanchez etc all suffered under the inflexible, pragmatic style of Moureen, & in the cases of KDB & Salah, they recovered & went on to have stellar careers elsewhere. The big issue is do we have space in the squad?

I'd love us to get Ezé, Nunes & Félix before next Friday. This season's gonna be tuff, & against Newcastle several of our players were already looking shagged this early in the season, plus we've now got a rising injury list too! ¯⁠\⁠_⁠ಠ⁠_⁠ಠ⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Couldn’t really go wrong with a loan move if we don’t sign anybody else. Class player, but has played for 2 very dysfunctional sides

Apart from a huge wage bill and losing a squad spot, never mind blocking the progress of other players.

The kid is a mard arse who's thrown all his opportunities in the bin so far and shown nothing to say he's changing. He did an interview weeks ago where he said he was desperate for Barca. He just wants the easy life in the sun and I don't blame him. Not good enough for us.
 
I might be in the minority but I think Felix would be an amazing signing for City. Pep is a big fan of Portuguese players and City play the exact brand of football and style that Felix would excel in. On talent level alone he is a player capable of staring at Manchester City and I have a feeling Pep would make Felix "explode" and unlock his full potential. He is still only 24 and his stock is as low as it's ever been. There is an opportunity now there City can purchase a player with very high reward. Despite not having a particular excellent loan spell, Joao Felix showed excellent glimpses of quality in the premier league. He is brilliant with the ball in his feet and has world class technical ability. He is the type of player who can play in the pocket and create scoring opportunities for himself and his teammates. Felix has consistently made the wrong career move by going to clubs that either A. don't fit his style of play/play him out of position (Atletico) or B. an absolute dumpster fire of a club with no clear direction (Chelsea last season).

City, Felix, Pep is a perfect match.

Why Felix when we have Palmer? Quite similar? Skill full with a lazy swagger.

If we could ship Phillips out, with Nunes in.

The bench could be Ortega, Ake, Akanji, Lewis, Nunes, Doku, Palmer, Felix, Alvarez - lots of balance in there I think (and pretty much all trusted to be put on at any point I expect).

I very much doubt this is a move on the cards but I like the balance in the options.

Felix is a highlight reel player, He also dosent do enough off the ball.
 
Yes. Would be perfect playing off Haaland in the "Alvarez" role. Think we need one more attacker with Eze not looking likely. Short-term punt on Felix and then go all in on Wirtz next summer. People may laugh at him and call him lazy but think he fits in a Pep team quite flawlessly. Looked a cut above his teammates at Chelsea when on the pitch.

Also gets to join our Portugal contingent. Low risk, high reward. Was hoping this would surface when Barca couldn't get it done.

If there is no one else coming after Nunez, and we have space, why not. Try before you buy.
He has bags of ability, just no direction. If it works for a season, he could be a long term replacement in a creative role, post Kev and Bernie. Still young.
If it doesn't - send him back.
 
i'll be honest, he would be a great addition in creative aspects of the game. but i think that Liverpool will go for him if Liverpool will accept 150mil for Salah
 
XI: Ederson, Gvardiol, Dias, Stones, Walker, Rodri, Kovacic, Foden, Grealish, Silva, Haaland

Subs: Ortega, Ake, Akanji, Lewis, Nunes, Doku, Felix, Alvarez(

and take you pick from the rest for the last sub without injuries till KDB back) #Filthtbh
