João Félix

[Coljj]

I really enjoy watching highlights of him, he's very easy on the eye. I would have spent the £100m on him instead then tried for Haaland/Vlahovic in 6 months.




Comments section:

I love Atletico Madrid. I love the type of player Joao Felix is. But he is absolutely wasted here. Simeone doesn’t even use 1/4 of his quality and potential. He wants him to be a workhorse, which he is just not and will never be. The reason behind the difference between the Atletico Joao Felix and the Benfica Joao Felix is not the higher level of football. It’s the fact that the manager supported him there. He was supported to be a better attacker. I feel like here he is only encouraged to work hard, not to be creative in attack. Actually Simeone doesn’t want attacking creativity from no one, he just wants everybody to work hard. As much as it hurts me to say it, if I were him I’d leave ASAP

It's mostly him being fouled and collapsing Salah style.

So the dippers will be after him??

 

[Cotontoquinn]

Not the sort of player that City should be interested in. A Portuguese Rag.

If you took aguero, turned him into a twig and then took all his finishing points and poured them into the flair stat you would get Felix. Its a bad tradeoff but he does look fun and finishing can always improve, considering how good he was in portugal?

 

[Sunset]

if we looked at it as a swap for torres it would be a pretty good move.

 

[Tevez City]

He is joy to watch, bring him on Khaldoon.

The accountants?

i really don’t think it’s that much of a stretch to make happen to be fair even more so now with the sale of torres.

felix as a torres replacement
Vlahovic as an out and out striker

much less risk and far safer bet than just haaland

 

[dublin-blue]

He's a bit soft for us. We are reffed different so he will get chopped to pieces here

I like watching Felix, don't think he is that high on the needed list though.
I do believe that people tend to ignore the financial aspect of Covid, probably because all teams suffer in some way. And fans still believe we will spend whatever we want .
The Forward is the number one need, then a Class centre midfield.
The players already at the club can do similar to Felix and score at the same rate. So though it would be nice , I doubt he would choose England, definitely didn't want it last time he moved, could become our new Isco.

Ojogo (Portugese Outlet) reporting that he'll be joining us for €70 Million in the summer. Not sure how reliable they are, but it's still a bold statement to say

They mention it as “we could be interested in him in the summer” in a story about Newcastle potentially signing Darwin Nunez. O Jogo gets things right and gets things wrong (they pushed Nuno Mendes coming here a lot, remember?), but this is a “could” in an article about something else. I think you can safely ignore it

I wouldn't rule it out given our past interest, but yeah, ignore for now. The summer will either be fireworks or fireworks in his own room like Balotelli.

Maybe sell Mahrez, and by Felix instead?

Swap,him for Jesus, both look suited to the other managers style imo.

Mahrez is in decent form, even if statpadding numbers

Yes, perhaps, but my main argument is that Mahrez isn’t getting any younger, and it could be time to cash in this summer.

Sell em both, I’ve no worries about losing either

We don’t really do that in general, we just let contracts expire, which I’m happier with. Would love Felix and would prefer him over Haaland and prefer playing the same style we do now.

 

[Gumzy97]

Could be a Sterling replacement if what Tolmie said is true then we need to plan for who takes sterlings spot in the squad.

 

[Mad 4 It]

Hope this deal happens, but that would mean one of Mahrez, Sterling or Jesus leaving. Imagine Felix playing behind Haaland, the combo would be out of this world.

I think 2 of those 3 will go
