João Félix

Come on ladies. Try not to overreact. Aren’t they selling Griezmann to the ever overspending Barca?

Yes. Our most expensive player is Mahrez. 60 mill. When was the last time we sold a player for over 60mill? 50? 40? 30 even maybe?

Well yeah, whether it's a smart decision or not they're basically trading Griezmann, who's 28 and doesn't want to be there anyway, for probably the best young attacking talent in the world not named Mbappe for something like 6m net?
 
Told you all we wouldn't be signing when everyone was getting hard-ons proclaiming him a Messiesque talent when we were linked.

Secondly Atletico have made £170mil in sales already this summer so can't blame them for splashing the cash

Not the sort of club you expect to pay that kind of money, but good luck to them. Definitely a good move given that Griezmann is leaving, and they could probably have him for 5 years and still sell him for a profit if they want. Assuming he doesn't flop, of course.

He IS a Messi level talent, make no mistake! I am very curious to see how he will gonna develop under coach like Simeone though..
 
Atletico have had Torres, Aguero, Forlan, Griezmann, Costa, Mandzukic, Falcao and now Felix in recent years. Some striking talent!!

We would be justifying the price tag if we signed him, and 100 may sound big but it isn't anymore. For a Club like Atletico to spend that kind of money on a 19 year old means he is special.
 
I feel like a chain of events has been set in motion whereby could Atletico end up with Aguero for one year before he goes back to Argentina. They'll sign Felix this summer, sell him to Barcelona in 2/3 years once Griezmann is the wrong side of 30, and then replace him with Sergio once his contract with us has run down.

No it doesn't,they hope he is special,it was 120m which is obcene

Yep, £113 million for a 19 year old and the only 4 players who have gone for more are Neymar, Mbappe, Coutinho and Dembele and 2 of those 4 look like they're going to have to find new clubs (I'm not including Neymar in the 2 as it seems to be his choice if he goes).
 
young talent should have a transfer cap on their value until they are 23 lets say £30million ?? because for one it does the player no good when you have a price like that on his young shoulders and add the pressure from the fans demanding you turn up every week, and for two the market value for young talent goes through the roof ?? and even a good young player is now valued at £60million ????

funny that nobody blinks a eye when a Spanish club spends £120million on a young player ?? even not one of the top 2 teams as well but if manchester city splashed that sort of cash you bet uefa and the FFP army would be all over us

It's the sort of thing that twat at the Spanish FA should be shouting about, rather than mithering us.

He will probably complain about Rodri leaving, instead.
