João Félix

Do the Saudis readily offer younger players 2 year contracts for the big money they would pay to tske them there?

Not sure, but Jorge Mendes is the Saudis official adviser and Joao Felix is a mendes client so if anyone can get a good deal it’s him.

Which would be unfortunate as Alvarez is by far the better finisher...if it was just him I'd argue he would probably score nearly the same as Haaland does...maybe not quite but think he wouldn't be far off

It goes without saying that Alvarez is an immeasurably better finisher than Jesus, but to think he has the physical attributes that would lead to him posting 'nearly' 50+ goals per season returns isn't realistic.

A more rounded talent who will get minutes on his versatility; it took a few seasons for the penny to drop he is no number 9, which is what he craves

As for Alvarez, it will be win win however this unfolds, he will get that slot here if haaland moves on (that will be tested end of 3 seasons imo), if we retain the Viking, I’d say at that point we have debate to be had, however he doesn’t seem a defined striker and his skill set means he will of commanded more game time than what Jesus hoped for; could be wrong but I think he evolves into a hybrid 10, his work rate is already edging that way, getting 25 + in that guise surely covers all bases where he’ll be happy?

If Alvarez improves his passing, without doubt for me his weakest asset, he would made a superb No10.

It would be a travesty if he goes to Saudi 23 years young. He needs to develop, will probably go to Benfica on loan before that but Atlético wont let him go without a hefty loan fee or obligation to buy, looks tough.

Another who should've come here when we came calling... Ah well \0/

Felix is one of those players that really need a tactical setup fully designed for them in order for their talent to be maximized, but then this takes a lot of resources and overhauling, comes at the expense of other areas and it is a far from a guarantee to having a winning team. I think he will fizzle out in a couple of years max like James Rodriguez did.

 

[TonyColemansbagofapples]

Sadly it looks like his career has already fizzled out.

 

[WRicko]

Feels like he has been around ages still got so much of career ahead of him needs to turn things around quickly. Should be able to get a move somewhere and improve. No idea what his level is now. People clearly think he is suited to us tho

 

[Tevez City]

Off to Barcelona
