I didn't say we shouldn't sign him. I just said he'd be off in 3-5 years. He's not going to be here for life.
Doesn't that largely depend on what happens when he gets to the club?
He'll be Aguero's replacement at City.
So I reckon some people here are angry because JF is not CR7 hence we shouldn't touch him with a barge pole.
Allow me to say. There's no Ronaldo. No Messi. Probably no Iniesta too. There is not a single +18 player in the world right now that will be as good as these guys. Mbappe is the most obvious talent of this generation and he won't get there.
Some of this bunch will become great players. They will win Golden Balls, Champions Leagues, World Cups and all that. But they won't be on the same level as the aforementioned.
Stop this comparison nonsense. João Félix seems to be one of the greatest talents of his generation. That's what we are looking for. Comparing this generation with one that produced arguably the two best footballers of all time is pointless.

It has to be the hair. Kaká had a lot of flair so I think a lot of people forget he actually was a speed demon.
No one said he's gonna put CR7 to shame or that but that he was far more developed than a young CR7 before his move to Manutd. If we were to sign Felix now, we would be signing a more matured player than a young CR7 hence he could slot into our starting 11 as quick as possible compared to a young CR7. We don't know how his career trajectory would be like. In fact, I'm not gonna equate him to the likes of Messi and CR7 hence why I said if he becomes as good as Van Persie and Zlatan, it's a good a career for him.
If we were competing for trophies, he would want to continue here. Even Hazard dialed back on his wanting to leave saga when it looked like Chelsea would be winning under Conte.
Not once have I watched him play a full game but I am going to get on the bandwagon since caf is so sure about him. Come on Woody what you waiting for?
I think you might be correct.
City ain't spending that big on a single player unless its mbappe.
If they sell Sane...
Why would they? They have no reason to break up a winning team. Also he ain't a natural winger like sane.
If they get good money from Bayern, then coughing up the extra £30m or so for Felix would be doable. They do not have a reason, but if they are not able to renew Sanes contract, they will sell him now, rather than coming into a "1 year left on the deal" situation next summer. A situation we have experienced enough times, where the outcome is not always beneficial for the club.
City can have him. We have much pressing needs to take care of with an additional 100m.
We shouldn't be letting class players join our rivals because we have other pressing matters. If we can sign him and stop them strengthening then we should, regardless of price.
Apart from just being a traditional rival, how exactly are we challenging them ? And how many players would we stop them from signing? Our primary target should be to get back to top 4 and cement our place as a regular top 4 side. Then we can improve our options. He is not the last youngster to come out with huge potential.
Sane barely plays. They’d sell him and buy Felix to play through the middle so Bernardo can continue to play on the right until Aguero leaves. At which point either Jesus is ready or Felix takes over and they buy another winger.
Sucks that they plan for this kind of shit.
Wish we did.
Keep doing this and your going to wind people up. Maybe Mod type people.
Not for outrageous prices though. I think City are too smart to genuinely consider spending £100m on this lad anyway.
Alexis Sanchez says hi.
Come on now, we should have easily been top four this season. We were second last season and will be top four easy next season.
We should be sorting our shit out this summer and at least attempting a title challenge.
It's an easier gamble for city to take as well because their team doesn't need major work. He could be terrific and playing under guardiola will improve the chances of that, but United won't be able to afford a rebuild if the individual players cost that much. If the individual players do cost that much then the rebuild will take so long the players will be fed up and want to leave like Pogba before it's complete..
People say this in almost every thread.
We cannot add players for such incredible amounts just to keep them of the hands of our rivals. Specially when they're bankrolled by state owned businesses from a country with a lot of liquidity.
We should only buy players if we think they're a valuable addition to our team
He's literally posting the exact same comment in every thread.
Well yeah, that's pretty common on here. I don't think he's serious.
Might give us options but for a players whose main strength seems to be finding space I'm not sure the premiership for man United is the best choice. We would be playing park the bus teams 8 weeks out of 10 and most of our success vs big sides still comes on the counter where he appears to be slow, altho with lovely link up.
I'm what way should we have been top 4? We've been dreadful and didn't deserve it at all. That whole sentence just sounds delusional.
Even Pep is struggling to hide his emotions over Sane. He goes ape shit at most the shit Sane does by the touch line
No surprise Sane was reduced massively this season compared to last.I know that. If he keeps doing it though patience will soon wear thin. Hence my post.

Massively under-performed at the start and end of the season. It’s perfectly obvious.
So did Arsenal to be fair.
How do you see this being achieved? What do we currently have that will allow us to achieve this goal and what else needs done in order to do so?
Wouldn't mind him if the situation was a bit different and we had a solid foundation.
Sorry Popper
I haven’t seen him play a minute of football in my life but he has an aesthetic name that just rolls off the tongue, and my taxi driver from faro airport told me he was the next Ronaldo. Throw 100m at them please Woody.
I think when you underperform for a full season, that's actually about your level. If we went into next season with this squad i could pretty much guarantee we'd not get top 4.
I get the feeling you're one of these fans that still haven't reached the realisation that the rest of us have. I didn't think there'd be any left with such blind, misguided confidence. We've been poor for years now.
He makes finishing chances look easy, it doesn't matter what league you're in that skill translates over wherever you play. If he's available he's worth the money, he'd instantly be our best attacking player and he's young so his value will hold.
