But Felix is a very different player than Jesus. Both are quality but Felix is not a striker.
Joao Felix / on loan to Chelsea
- Thread starter Attila

Love is blind.
Which is?
I actually made a mistake, we’re 14 games in!
I wanted Felix before he went to Atleti, so if ETH wants him, and he is available I am all for this.
The transfers that arsenal are seriously linked with are mykhaylo mudryk and Tielemans. Zaha and Thuram are available for free in the summer too.
Felix's salary is too $$$ for arsenal to cover even on loan.

It’s a loan, not a permanent move. You’re coming across a bit delusional mate. I love the club and been going to games since 84, but for a loan until the end of the season I would say the arsenal option would be the most attractive to him.
If we get Gakpo and Arsenal get Felix I think that is a massive feck up.
You can have both.
Lots of clubs did but Atletico coughed up the big bucks and he has proven to be way overpriced and now they are trying to recoup as much money as they can.
Good technical player but doesn't look brilliant in any aspect of the game.
You forget we spent 350k on PEA and 300k a week to keep Ozil.
As for Felix, just because Atletico went hyper and gave him 290k a week. Doesn't mean thats his defined salary. You think Sancho next contract will be at 350k a week?
We wont be matching Felix wages, truth is Atletico went to far in their wage with him and transfer fee. But, if the kid wants to play football and actually utilize his ability in a team that is suited for him, then we can pay him a fair wage and integrate him into the team.
Im confident we can get this deal done, and one of the main drivers would be Felix belief our brand of football is more suited to him than the football at Man United.
Playing a very high line pinning the other team and the front 5 getting many touches in the opposition final third/box.
Very keen on the loan with option to buy idea. We add quality to the squad in the short-term, try him out both out wide and up front, and if it doesn't quite work out, we can let someone else snap him up and focus on signing a striker.
Yeah, shame ten Hag never played like that with his teams. Or used a roaming attacking midfielder/forward in the mold of Tadic to lead his line as a false 9 at Ajax.
Wouldn't mind paying the 8m but we need an option to buy. If he flops then we saved ourselves a 100m signing.
PEA and Ozil are proven world class players at the time. Felix is no where near at the moment. The rumoured loan detail is to cover 100% his salary and it will never happen in arsenal. Zero chance.
One advantage we might have over Arsenal is that their top 4 is pretty set with Martinelli, Jesus, Shaka and Odegard.
He was never worth what AM paid for him, more fool them. Hopefully we can get a good deal now, and Erik can help him reach his potential.

Yeah about that
No ones paying that
Did you miss the next 5 months part?
Ha ha, no-one's paying that. Poor feckers!
it's not as if they've won anything with him. So how can the price stay the same?
130m! AM are cuckoo land if they think they can get even half that
Not sure who has been more crazy. Atletico with this bs or Felix who signed a contract until 2026.
Good luck to both I guess.
It seems Atlético's negotiating technique relies pretty heavily on shouting 'ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY MILLION' over and over again.
Aye, whenever a side is ahead of us in the league after 14 games, they are definitely more attractive for as many months as the season has left to run.
Assume it would be an obligation to buy at a certain price
Quite similar to how teams seems to slap a 100m price tag on every decent player in the market these days.
We play a high line? Our most improved players under Ten Hag has been attacking players and our FBs who constantly get to the byline.
Is there a narrative that we aren’t attacking? because it’s hard to get goals in the board when Ronaldo held us back but our general play as been pretty attacking.
Insanity, isn't it?! Tbh I've not seen much of the player at all but from the little I've seen he looks good but not a 100 million pound player.
I believe ETH wants to play a high line, but we don't really do it yet. There's obviously been an improvement but I believe we're still in the bottom half in the league in terms of how high a line we hold.
But a hundred million pounds these days buys you Jack Grealish. Of course a player like Felix will cost more.
They are off by just one digit in their asking price.
Good luck with those numbers 
. Insanity. More than double of what he's worth.
. Insanity. More than double of what he's worth. still cannot believe city got mugged like that.If Atletico have any chance of recovering their outlay on him, then they need him to go on loan and play absolutely out of his skin. Even then I don't think anyone is going to go over 80m for him.
