Makes you think with 120m we can buy 2 great players,, but probably we buy 2 drinkwaters.. 🤔

Could've had Gvardiol and Enzo, both keen to join and whole future to look into, now we look at Badiashile, Koulibaly and Rice for years to come.

Pretty strange signing and fit, ngl. I’ve said here before that I like Felix as a player but he’s an odd fit in this team. He’s not a wide player and he’s not a classic striker. So where exactly does he play for us?

Anyways, he must have been TRULY desperate to leave Atleti if he agreed to come to this dumpster fire.

Just no, no, no. He is a very exciting youngster but to spend this money on a player who moved for peanuts in summer is crazy. Especially that Southampton may well go down this year. Also need to stop panic buying because we haven't got plan A. Wait till summer please and then assess our options.

To be honest, he is a very good prospect, I'd trust him to be a top player more than Santos and that Italian guy but yeah way overpriced.

Felix isn't just an odd fit for us, but I think in general. Like you said he does have a lot of talent and he's still young and likely to develop further but you feel to get the best out of him he needs to play as a second striker in very much a free role. It's a formation and style that isn't used very regularly anymore. Unless this is something that Potter is looking at, he feels very much like another square peg like Havertz is. Havertz effectively needs that role too. The problem for both of them is we still don't have that central striker (not named Auba) that can play with either of them.

The one thing I would say is at least it's a loan, albeit an expensive one. It's up to him to prove himself and I'd assume he will want to in order to get out of Atletico permanently. If he was a great success then we can look at buying him in the summer. If he struggles then at least it's not another player we'll be looking at on the books wondering how we'll move him on.

If Felix has a successful loan what makes you think he won't pick Arsenal or United in the summer to play CL? The lack of buy option is so stupid.

It almost feels like Boehly is looking for least attractive deal possible and jumping on it. Somehow not burned 120 million on some one-hit wonder, so time to jump onto Felix, who is pretty much copy of Havertz, except also suffering like Saul. Other clubs laughed off the offer to loan him, so obviously we are all over it! 

 

But yeah, strikerless formation with 2 suffering false 9's is gonna be some seriously avant-garde shit for sure.
