João Félix

14 league goals in 65 appearances since joining Athletico in 2019. Gundo has a better strike rate than him.

Not the answer to our striker requirement.

I'd take him on a 6 month loan and see how he gets on. See where Bernie's heads at and if he still wants to go then negotiate a 'Buy It Now' price in the summer.

Felix would basically be a Torres replacement and we can sit back and see if deals can be done for Haaland or Vlahovic at the end of the season.

According to AS, Felix’s entourage want to find a way out for the player in January

As I said in the other topic, this is an article (with very little meat to it, at that) by Manu Sainz from AS, a Madridista, right before the Madrid derby on the weekend.

In a very defensive team that doesn't play to his strengths.

That did not seem to hinder Luis Suarez - 28 goals in 44 appearances

Luis Suarez doesn't play the same position or style. He has also spent over a decade playing for Uruguay who play in in a similarly direct and defensive fashion.

Veteran lead striker vs young second striker/attacking midfielder.

So surely that backs up my statement "Not the answer to our striker requirement" ??

He might be a decent attacking midfielder but we are well stocked with those and just cannot see him as a viable alternative to the likes of Kane or Haaland who could score 30+ goals a season.

That’s if the only solution to our "striker requirement" is to hire a conventional striker.

He is more of a second striker like Totti, Cassano or Jovetic than an attacking midfielder. AM is his "2nd position".

 

[Keeper!]

Perfect fit for this team and our manager.

Pep would turn him into one of the very best.
