Those 2 goals were something to note yesterday and under pressure late to come back.
I hate to say this but I don't think we can get Haaland or Mbappe as they probably want Spain.
He is actually much closer to an Aguero replacement like-for-like in some ways when younger (even plays for Atletico lol) and can play across the front three or even deeper which Pep will love (if he stays).
Will cost a lot, as Atleti paid 100m+, but he's the only other more proven clinical striker I can see us maybe getting is Kane.
I'd like us to get a bigger striker with technical ability like a Kane, but his injury record and cost will be even more bananas because of his contract, being HG and Levy.
Daka is another one now as well, and maybe the other most realistic option for that type.

His buildup play this year so far is massively improved but other than yesterday not a lot of goals, but Atleti don't play a style that suits him if you ask me.
Was poor in the last CL match against Bayern and the last few La Liga matches though, so consistency is a question mark. He's young so that's also likely a factor (only 20).
I am sure Txiki is monitoring him quite closely this season as he is absolutely an option for us at striker and we know we've tried to sign him before.

Only problem is he has signed a monster contract at atletico and atletico might not be willing to let him go. I don't see us paying 120M+ for him too.Those 2 goals were something to note yesterday and under pressure late to come back.

People just don't want to accept the fact that this guy hasn't turned out as they expected. He might have been a monster in PES/FIFA but in reality well....... I just don't see why we would be going in for him.
Not a hope in hell we will sign him, or anybody of his ilk, either January, next summer or anytime thereafter.
City won't spend over £70m for ANYONE, so I would forget of ever seeing a true top star replace Aguero, De Bruyne (when it comes to it), D Silva, Fernandinho etc.

Yeah
what ilk are you talking about. What has he done to suggest he is worth the 126m euros atletico paid or his 350m euros release clause.
What are you talking about? He's six months older than Phil Foden, it's way, way too early to say that. He looked great at the start of last season, injuries ruined the rest, and now he's back to looking great. He's one of the most talented young players in Europe.

Have you got anything at all positive to say on any thread. You have been negative in the last three threads in the transfer forum that I have been in to read. What are you getting out of it, none of your comments are constructive so are you just a wum or just a very sad individual?

I like Felix a lot.
I'm surprised though that Atletico spent so much money on him - I thought that Atletico's model was to develop players and then sell them on.
Having spent so much on Felix - will Atletico be willing to sell him at a reasonable price?
As others have remarked, Felix's offensive potential isn't fully realized at a club like Atletico... which must have been known when they purchased him.
What was Atletico's thinking when they purchased Felix - long term player - or plan to sell him on for much more money after a season or two - or maybe something else?
