Joao Felix
- Thread starter SportingCP96
- Start date
Some elements of his game made it probable that his production and performance was not dependent on playing in a weaker league.
--> Movement, technical ability...
And the caf joined in soon after... he looks a great talent so far...Multiple users (Porto and Sporting fans) over here stating that he was a product of Benfica's propaganda... How couldn't you doubt?
Ballon D’or winner in the making.
Lovely finishes.
Damn it
We were, just not enough to pay the €120m buyout clause. Just like we were interested in Mbappé, but not enough to pay him €12m a year and giving him a starting spot and selling Bale...
Ffs Flo needs to retire
Far too much money for a teenager from Portugal...or something.
I hear there is kickass chap named Woodward up in Manchester as a possible replacementWe were, just not enough to pay the €120m buyout clause. Just like we were interested in Mbappé, but not enough to pay him €12m a year and giving him a starting spot and selling Bale...

Juve defence caught napping for the first goal. Second one was class though.
Phenomenal talent
Atletico have played a blinder, sensational replacement for Griezmann.
Also: De Ligt will be amazing if he flops.

will be amazing if he flops.Sorry but you’re lying here. Just look at my posts or @SportingCP96 regarding him. Actually I think it was him who opened this thread. Even better we both said here despite the propaganda that was around him he was a talent, unlike Renato Sanches. If other posters said different things I apologise.Multiple users (Porto and Sporting fans) over here stating that he was a product of Benfica's propaganda... How couldn't you doubt?
Paulo Sousa before injuries was on a similar level than those. I said it here multiple times that he resembles me João Vieira Pinto regarding his quick thinking and that player who can play between the lines. But with much more quality regarding his finishing.
Not for this topic but JVP mistake was that he didn’t left the country at the same time as Couto, Paulo Sousa, Rui Costa and so on.
I can see it you know, he's very error prone in the few games I've seen him in. Perhaps not flop but won't become the GOAT everyone thinks.Atletico have played a blinder, sensational replacement for Griezmann.

What an awesome start for João Félix at AM! We all knew he would be a world-class striker, but being only 19 it's actually a little surprising to be having so much success this early.
Lets hope he stays healthy and keeps producing when the real games begin.

Almost certainly going in anyway, but is that first goal not Lemar's? On the replay at the end from behind the goal I swear it knicks off his knee. He half-heartedly celebrates too.
Seems like Juve could do with a cheap but experienced continental CB. He had a good pre-season game against the mighty AC Milan. Need to act fast before the window closed, though.
Ain’t got nothing on Mason
Would have cost us around 50 million net if you factor in Lukaku's sale. Seems our management have been very inept outside defensive signings this summer.
Still a bit early to call out a 19 year old I'd say
Are people really bugging out after a friendly game?
I remember bugging out after a friendly with another young Portuguese and that turned out quite fecking dandy.
He's not going to flop unless he either suffers a devastating injury or develops the dreaded cassano-balotelli syndrome
Kid's already a very good player, and his floor is basically coutinho. His ceiling is fecking Kaka, or close to it
I think he meant De Ligt
Ah. Then replace Coutinho and Kaka with Koulibaly and Nesta, point still stands
Allright, he never said flop either. Nevermind
He hasnt actually done anything yet, one season in a weaker league and some goals in friendlies doesnt mean he has made it.
For the record I think he will go on to be a great player and I thought we should have been in for him. Huge fee and risk...but lets wait and see how he does ove the next couple of years before doubting the doubters
Because that Portuguese player wasn’t playing for a top class side against one of the best teams in Europe...
Early doors, but despite losing a lot of players it seems Atlético have done a decent job rebuilding unlike some teams.
Atleti and their history of strikers......
Yeah but the general consensus is that friendlies are glorified fitness training. Most players (specially older ones) aren’t even fit yet
Agreed! Hope he does well
That second run and finish is sublime. Haven't seen much of the kid but looking forward to seeing him this season, and atletico in general. Feel like all three big Spanish clubs have changed a lot this summer, looking forward to seeing all three of them.
Brilliant. Looks like he's worth every penny.
Technically it would be.
The ease in which he strikes the ball and finds space reminds me of... Griezmann (but with more potential due to more height and strength).
Of course people will make Kaka comparisons because people just naturally just compare to who he physically looks like, eventhough they are absurdly different in almost every way of form.

Signing this kid would’ve been perfect for us. Imagine in 3 years or so an attacking quartet of Inside forwards of Rashford and Greenwood, Martial as the CF and Felix as a roaming 10. Sensational. Shame to miss out on him. Looks incredible.
I'd agree with this. He will have huge games all season long, let's wait a little.
Damn, imagine this kid under the guidance of Guardiola 
Why City were not in for him!? My future 3-star forward muppetry pipe dream - Felix-Sane-Mbappe all starting in one team

Kid reminds me so much of Kaka.
