diaby to felix would definitely feel like a downgrade

if the rumours of a £60m release clause for eze are true, that just feels like an absolute no brainer

Felix would be more suited to the second striker role we played Diaby in.

Hard disagree with that one sir.

The article to me doesn’t present any new concrete information. He’s not worth that purported fee, not to mention his ridiculous wages.

Felix seems like a big risk. It sounds exciting but I’m sceptical.

A weird one, because possibly a " downgrade " as a winger, but an upgrade as a second striker/10 through the middle etc.

Diaby is same age as Felix and has outperformed him nearly every season

Unless Felix a cut price deal then am not feeling it

Fake news

 

[Wes]

Should be noted that it has been widely reported that Joao Felix wants his future decided by the end of July because otherwise he is due to return to training at Atletico Madrid August 1st and does not want to go back at all.

Feel Felix will be another Coutinho type scenario. Hope it does not happen 

[Mazrim]

Any deal for Felix would be heavily incentivised I reckon.
If we end up paying 55m then it will have been worth it.

Joao Felix Bingo:

- Another Coutinho

- High Wages

- Attitude Problems

- Was Rubbish At Barcelona

It was reported by multiple sources that his salary was in excess of €200k per week when he was loaned out to Chelsea was a big stumbling block for any future deal. 

This is without factoring in Joao Felix’s salary — well in excess of £200,000 a week — which would put him in the upper reaches of a Chelsea wage structure that Boehly and Clearlake are trying to bring down to a more sustainable level

Financially can't see how we can afford Felix. 

Transfer fee, wages, bonuses will be hefty and we have already spent this summer. If we do get him, next summer we will have to pay the price with PSR shite I assume.

Can you actually provide evidence that his salary isn’t this high? I am genuinely curious now. Otherwise, it’s a perfectly valid critique
