This is what I said three months ago.....

I think the Felix situation is likely to be a case of a badly planned use of Joao by Diego Simeone and his assistant at the Metropolitano over the last nine months.
Given the right direction which is more based to the style of play that he was accustomed to when wearing a Benfica shirt, he will be revealed as a truly talented attacking playmaking goalscorer.

Since that time Simeone has handled his situation with
a great deal of tact and now fully understands how to get the best out of him having given him a more fluid attacking role.
Sadly for us, as far as acquiring his services are concerned, that ship sailed many weeks ago. Not only that but his value must have risen exponentially in the interim.
Fortunately, Ferran Torres will, I’m sure, continue to develop into a truly exciting forward as the season develops.
