Surely he’s worth a loan with purchase option / mandatory depending on goals.Has to be bollocks surely, he could comfortably do better. Would certainly end the idea that he'd cost an insane amount though.
100%. Been a dream signing for me for years, and in our current setup? Yes please.Surely he’s worth a loan with purchase option / mandatory depending on goals.
Sign Yann Sommer!!Obviously. But to pretend it isn't full of very reactionary posters is disingenuous.
It’s not his form that the problem, Simeone just doesn’t fancy him.Atletico will be most impressed by his form and decide to keep him
Sure, there would be a transition period, but I can’t see how he could not adopt to CM role. The more he gets the ball, the better.He just made Frankie-like run to carry the ball from deep to the upper third.
He is getting a lot of attention right now, but honestly, who was going to pay a lot of money for a bench player on a sub-par Athletico team?Of all the clubs to link him to….Aston Villa!
Bet he can’t wait to glide past a player and play a lovely ball to Ollie Watkins.
There's no h in Atletico Madrid, but I agree he could probably play a deeper roleSure, there would be a transition period, but I can’t see how he could not adopt to CM role. The more he gets the ball, the better.
Like how good defensively was Luka Modric when he played for Tottenham?
Sign him, use him some up front, on the wing where it is needed, but mold him into a No 8/central midfielder.

Would rather we try again for De Jong plus a CF than go for something like that. I like Felix a lot but I dont see us spending close to £100million for him to play no.8 for us.This is how I would use Felix:
———————————Martial———————————
Rash-——————————————————Antony
—————-Bruno————————————————
————————————————Felix———————
——————————Casemiro——————————
Shaw——Martinez—————Varane——Dalot
I wouldn't mind a few of them myselfI’d love for us to sign him, but now I’d also love us to sign about 5 others from that Portugal team.

more like the gonna ask for even more moneyAtletico will be most impressed by his form and decide to keep him
I think playing him that far back isn't a great idea but a role just behind the striker is perfectI'm getting Lisandro Martinez as a DM vibes in this thread.
Why would we bring in a player who is known to dislike Simeone's defensive requirements to play in a deeper role. And why would the player join a team that expects even higher defensive work rates and awareness from him.
i dont care what you say hes a great keepeer that should have been playing for a bigger club for over a decade now. Bayern, United? Maybe not but hes easily Dortmund levelSign Yann Sommer!!
Yes his preferred position on the ball is around the half space in the final 3rd.I think playing him that far back isn't a great idea but a role just behind the striker is perfect
Maybe, but his passing from deep is fabulous:Yes his preferred position on the ball is around the half space in the final 3rd.
It's something he's already doing in his current role(s) especially on the counter attack. Why waste him in a deeper role when he's not very good defensively but can shoot and deliver a wonderful final ball. Also has decent pace.Maybe, but his passing from deep is fabulous:
Unfortunately he won’t flop. I agree the asking price is too high though. Nobody bit in the summer so maybe it will come downHe's a tidy little player but the money Atleti want for him makes him a massive risk and not worth it. Let him go somewhere else, flop, and then we'll take him on the cheap.
With Sancho given a final chance to prove himself, and the faltering economy, it would make sense to hold off till then to try and get a bargain.Unfortunately he won’t flop. I agree the asking price is too high though. Nobody bit in the summer so maybe it will come down
No keeper!?This is how I would use Felix:
