Good point. But might also be a case of cost and who he would be willing to join. I bet he would wait for a top PL club (and his only option in the PL is probably Man Utd), Bayern, PSG and Barca. Maybe one or two in Italy, but I doubt it.
Joao Felix
- Thread starter andersj
- Start date
When the only other choice is Martial or Rashford as a 9, bring him in!
He can play Tadic role from Ajax, false nine.
A team that has problems scoring deciding to add Joao Felix. What could go wrong there.
He'll only miss chances in a fancier way than our current players do while we argue what position he should play to get the best out of him. When I think about it that sounds like most of our big attacking signings in recent years.

I don't think the team needs more attackers except a CF. If we're really toying with F9 ideas let's maybe play Sancho there ?

I'd love to get him on loan for a season as he can help unlock bruno's best form and get Rashford on the wing full time.
'...in a malfunctioning Chelsea-side his npxg was in the 82nd percentile among strikers with 0,47 per 90 min). 94th percentile if you compare him to attacking midfielders...'
I have no idea what this means, it reads like something from Star Trek...lol... may I assume that essentially it is stating that he played well in a poor side?
I would swap Felix for Sancho and Martial immediately. He's a better player, his game is more effective, more mature, and more intelligent than Sancho and Martial. But he's no pressing forward though, if ETH wants all of that.

He's just another player who's all fart and no shit.
Maybe he just needs someone to squeeze his head.

Think it's a decent move Felix and Hojlund to rotate between fixtures gives Rashford a permanent spot on the left and allows Sancho to play on the right to fill in for Antony in case of form etc. In a season where there no money it makes sense.
Can he play left back?
Wouldn't mind him on loan if it means less Antony or Rashford at striker. He's not very good in front of goal but at least he'd up the general quality of play over those two
Where would he fit into the team in order to get the best out of him do you think
Bring him in. Better than Martial.
He possesses attributes no one in our squad has. The ability to dribble and keep the ball under pressure. He's very strong on the ball in terms of shielding it and whatnot so he'd be a welcome addition to our squad.
Press resistance?
Very insightful analysis
!I still think he's good, in a good team he'll do well.
Basically yes. His non penalty expected goals was better than 82% of strikers and 94% of midfielders. In a bad team he was more of a threat than most players in his position(s)
Honestly no more of these creative technical guys who are hybrid 10/9 or wide men. We have too many already who all seem to be competing with each other for spots that don’t quite suit any of them.
Buy a CM
Buy a CM
he's shit
Bright talent but lacks the character to make it through a very demanding industry that is football.
Nice hair.
I think maybe he's a bit like Dani, only less talented. There's no doubt that going to AM was the wrong move, a horrible team who play horrible football.
He could be a really good player but maybe he just needs the right environment to get the best out of him. But I genuinely don't think that will happen at Utd.

You're not really a threat if you don't score them though are you? It's weird though because I remember watching him at Benfica and he looked cold as ice in front of goal.
We already have Sancho who is capable of playing the role.
He will end up at barca by hook or crook.
Another forward that doesn't score goals, just what we need.
Don't people have eyes, he was shite for Chelsea. Not another expensive flop, Atletico can't get rid of him.
Absolutely if it's a loan with option to buy at a reasonable price.
Always plays well against us I feel, wouldn't be against a loan with an option.
Can't believe he would be that cheap even on a loan. More affordable than most definitive transfers in attack or midfield, perhaps...
I've never seen a player have such good rep despite only ever performing in his debut breakout season. The fact he's hotly linked to Barcelona is quite impressive to me.
Reminder: It’s goalscorers we need.
an overpaid forward who does not score enough goals, his attitude also seems a bit toxic. No thanks.
I guess it depends how you look at it. If an attacking player’s movement/dribbling/play gets them a lot of good chances, I’d say they’re threatening to score, even if they miss them. The Torres miss in 2011 was definitely Chelsea threatening to score. If a player is not getting into position of hiding from the ball or turning it over further out the field then they aren’t threatening.
the atleti move was the wrong move for him.
didn't he cost Chelsea over £1m per game, if we have that kind of money to spunk not sure Felix would be the priority
