Would be good fit for City.
Joao Felix
- Thread starter SportingCP96
- Start date
100m seems too much. Looks good, but so did Januzaj for a good minute. Doesn't look that special to me. Reminds me of Odegaard in his playing style. Should stay there and develop probably.
Now we’re talking.Like said "In the future".....yes it was only against Chaves but that was the case for his team-mates too.....i saw now enough of him in the last two years (First-team, UEFA-Youth League and Portugal U-teams) that i would say a club must and will pay so much money for him.
But i hope for the Benfica fans and for the portuguese football that he stays at Benfica for a couple of years.
Agree with you. It will be a good contest between him and Leão from the 99 generation for us.
First time I saw this kid playing live was on Alcochete at the under 19”s final stage.
He was much better than the players on that competition. I agree they should do everything to keep him at least 1 or 2 seasons.
Can’t believe I am saying this, he remembers more João Pinto than Rui Costa.
Pay attention to their number 6 Florentino too.
Ah he actually hasn’t much to do with Odegaard but agree he needs to stay there more time to consolidate his game.
Feck Benfica.Like said "In the future"

Adnan was never that good but he was overhyped for playing in the English league.
You don't think? From the video they seem to have similar technique, both left footed, loves to move inside and give those through balls to runners in behind. Pretty similar to me, both have that lob pass on lock too. Seems a lot faster and more of an attacker while Odegaard is more of a midfielder.
He was fantastic but yes I think he got found out a bit his second season, in which he couldn't cope and regressed further. I wouldn't say he was overhyped based on his performances, they were top class, he just couldn't keep up.

Your last sentence is where we entirely agree. But I still believe in Odegaard, only don’t know if at the level of a Real Madrid.
@SportingCP96 under normal circumstances no player in Portugal leaves by that money. Not even close, but we are living on a era where Nakajima went to Qatar for 35 million euros or something like that.
They looked more top class then they were because it was such a bad season for United and he was the only bright spot. When I saw him play he never looked like a world class talent.
Oh yeahNow we’re talking.

....i saw him in games for Portugal's youth teams.....we have a similar young DM in our Academy (James Garner) otherwise i would hope our scouts are watching him closely.He surely will be on the under 20 WC, I don't believe Félix will because he never has been called for the under 20's. Anyway they better gain experience on the Europa League for now. Regarding prospects at United isn't t Greenwood the most rated?Oh yeah
Yea but Greenwood is a striker. I believe he was saying that Garner is a similar type of player to the midfielder you guys mentioned.
Like @Rozay has said yep Greenwood is our best prospect and Garner is the same type of player like Florentino Luis.
Well the U20 games were just friendlies (against the best european teams) and the U21 team (with him) hasn't qualified for the European Championships therefore to play the U20 World Cup would be surely great for him.
He could play the tournament because the U20 World Cup starts for Portugal on May 25 and Benfica's last match of the season is on May 19*
*I guess no one wants to see Benfica in the finals of the Taca de Portugal and Europa League
I know, was only asking because I heard a lot of good things regarding him.
Only saying that because I suspect he will be called to the Senior Squad, but the next under 20 friendlies will give a clue on what type of players will be called.Well the U20 games were just friendlies (against the best european teams) and the U21 team (with him) hasn't qualified for the European Championships therefore to play the U20 World Cup would be surely great for him.

Regarding your last sentence... well I don't remember anytime on my life wishing anything good on them. Maybe not even drunk.
The only thing I want on the near future is that they can keep some of this players for more than 1 season, regarding the rest I hope they lose next weekend.
Scores against Porto..... he has scored or contributed in every Derby he has played in.... he is just a teenager ..... ffs

calm finish
Haha his teammate dragging him to starting circle
A quote from the new Dimarzio story: He is born playmaker, he can also play outside attack. To the right or left, it makes no difference to him. Goals, assists and remote controlled launches.

He will certainly add variety to our attack. I think debates about him being a 9-and-a-half or whatever and us playing 4-3-3 are academic, this kind of talent will contribute immensely as long as it's a football match.

One thing is to be able to play central, left or right another is where he is more able to influence the game, and more than one time he played as a winger and he clearly hasn't the same impact on the game.
Unless we are preparing for Pogba to leave then I can't see it. He's going to be the main man in a team somewhere, we can't spend 100m on a bench player.
I'd rather we spent the money on Sancho.

What does he think of Real Madrid (if those views are known)? Just asking in case we do sign him and we end up with another 'only God knows the future' scenario.
It really depends on how Ole sees the long term positions of Martial and Rashford. If he sees them as outside forwards (imo, which they are), who like to occupy the half spaces, then a 9 and half like Felix or Dybala can be someone we look to sign.
How about both?
And have him on the bench? That isn’t going to happen unless pogba goes back to playing as an 8
If we bought him it might be best if he was loaned straight back to Benfica. Looks lightweight, not sure where we would play him and might be a good bargaining chip with Benfica if they know they can keep him for one or two seasons.
I mean there is nothing in the media ever said about that but I would imagine most Portuguese players would like to play in Spain because it is close to home.
do you think Pep thought that when buying attacking midfielder after attacking midfielder
full backs and centre backs galore
if a player is good enough they will play
We don’t have city money ffs
It makes sense, of course, that they would. It's amazing the amount of talented players Portugal has produced over the years and yet only one Euro to show for it. A bit like England since 1966 in a way; we never seem to get over that last hurdle.
of course we doWe don’t have city money ffs
I think after our lack of spending last year and with a mini clear out (Fellaini, Rojo, Darmian, Sanchez?) Ole should have a healthy budget to spend
also put it this way - The Glazers are probably saving 40 million hiring Ole and not buying out Poch from Spurs
I think he might go to Wolves; they have enough money to buy him.
It would be a good step for him into a club with loads of Portuguese.

We have the money but whether we would pay it as we have to get round ffp but he's a Mendes client so anything is possible- he would look good next season playing alongside vinagre who is the same age and also a fantastic prospect.
I don’t think he will leave and if he leaves Wolves doesn’t look plausible. He has been scouted by bigger clubs for a while.
We need at least 4 positions covered before we worry about a fancy new CAM. For the players we need it won’t be cheap upgrading. I just don’t see us completing our squad before somebody else gets him. Do we even need him? not really.
WOAH!
Benfica dont need to sell and he won't leave this summer.
If Felix is coming here I don't see him as our CAM - he is going to be our false nine and the upgraded competition for Lingard.
We play most our games with 2 strikers and a false nine much more than people seem to realise & that false nine position is something that may not be necessary to a lot of fans but might be to ole and how he wants to shape his attack.

Watched him today. 100mil?. 20-30 mil max.
. 20-30 mil max.Wait until next week before saying that judgment. They have faced and beaten much bigger clubs then little Zagreb. I expect a 3-0 result next week.Watched him today. 100mil?
There's been so many kids from the Portuguese league in recent seasons that were meant to be the next big thing but never lived up to the hype.
Renato Sanches, William Carvalho, Gelson Martins, Goncalo Guedes, Andre Gomes, Joao Mario..... Then Nani, Anderson and Gaitan before that.

Renato was never good I said that from day one he is very average. William is a great CDM and he should of moved to EPL and United back in 2014 he has that kind of quality. Guedes is decent once again was never a world beater. Joao Mario is a very classy midfielder who chose the wrong team in inter. Gelson the verdict is still out he is doing great things in Monaco. Nani was World class and Gaitan I honestly liked here in Portugal but he was never United quality.
Benfica players are very very overhyped in Portugal because the newspapers are all about Benfica. As a rival fan though I can say Felix is the real deal. Kid is nasty. All those other guys were never that good.
