Felix offers flair, someone who can beat a man, draw someone in and be direct, we have nobody like that. Oh and he can finish better than anything we already have.

I'm not against it, in fact anything is better than nothing.

This is partly the reason the squad is a mess. Aubameyang was also signed because they just wanted any striker available in the market

I think they got suckered in by Auba's big numbers at pinball league Barca

From London to Spain, back to London, and maybe again to Spain?

'Moved on': Paul Merson is convinced Chelsea will sell £160k-a-week player after what he's just seen

Chelsea FC v Arsenal FC - Premier League

Paul Merson thinks Chelsea will sell Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in the near future.

Aubameyang, 33, moved to Stamford Bridge back in the summer transfer window from Barcelona, with the Blues prepared to give him one more crack in the Premier League.

However, the £160,000-a-week attacker has had a tough opening half of the season in west London.

The striker has three goals in 15 Chelsea appearances across all competitions, losing his spot in the starting position recently.

It’s quite alarming that the centre-forward can’t get into Graham Potter’s best line-up right now at a time when he’s got Armando Broja unavailable due to injury.

Merson thinks Chelsea will sell Aubameyang

Sky Sports pundit Merson is convinced that Chelsea will get rid of their experienced attacker.

He claims the incident involving him in last week’s Premier League defeat to Manchester City was the final nail in the coffin. Aubameyang was taken off the pitch midway through the second-half by Potter despite only entering the game as a first-half substitute.

“Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was taken off after coming on as a substitute in the first game against Man City and I think he will now be moved on. I think they will cut their ties with him,” Merson told Sky Sports.

“As soon as you are sub-subbing a 30-something player, I think that is probably the end.

“Maybe you can get away with it with a younger player, but in football it’s one of those unwritten rules. It’s a don’t-do.

“But Potter did it with him at 33 and, for me, I think he’s done.”

Journalist Simon Phillips has reported this week that Aubameyang could actually depart Chelsea before the January transfer window shuts.

In our view, the Blues should snap the hands off any potential buyers this month.

There’s no doubt Potter’s squad looks very thin at top when it comes to goals, but Aubameyang doesn’t look like the solution to Chelsea’s problems.

True with that alone, Joao Felix already so much better than our current attacker.
I don't really get it with some people who keep saying why getting felix when we already have exactly the same player.
I mean who exactly? Although is true he isn't out and out striker that we lack atm and need some free role to function.
But he has certain skillset that probably would be useful to us. No one in our team have actual flair.
No one in our team have the ability and want to try to beat a man, being direct and try to create

Just see these certain clips that isn't really typical youtube video that can make anyone look like brilliant player.
These clips show how he actually play. It's not amazing display/performance.
But if he actually could be healthy and give some decent display like this, he still could be useful player

 

Anyway his number in atletico madrid has been far from impressive, one factor that bring question and doubt about him.
But being ineffective player is totally different that being piss poor player. Anyone could give more objective assessment about him?

We literally just signed a 20 year old striker a few days ago and still have 21 year old Broja. And have Havertz + soon Nkunku as striker/second striker type players. Plus, who knows what happens with Felix. That’s 5 striker options and not even mentioning Auba. 

Don’t know what sense bringing in another super young forward like Moukoko makes. At his age he’ll be looking at all these players we have and think “will I actually get in the team?”
