That be a fantastic signing, undoubted talent and would work wonders behind Isak. Howe has said before he's not keen on loans though, but if he could get him working in our setup up, I think the link up play between Bruno, Felix and Isak would be disgusting.

However on the ball he looks quality, wriggles his way through defences beautifully and would probably have lots of assists if Chelsea had a goalscorer.

Seems to graft hard enough in the Chelsea games I've seen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sempiternal Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 Lol, guy has had one season over 10 goals in his career, and Atleti are desperate to bin him off even though they paid 100m for him. Lovely player to watch on the ball, but he consistently makes the worst decisions. 80m or whatever they are trying to fleece Chelsea for would be throwing money away.

Wey, relatively to his price tag, but yeah just for emphasis really. Was toxic in the dressing room at Atleti by all accounts as well. Seems to be a superstar in his own head.

sushimonster85 Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 I don't think there's any real point discussing it. It's all agent/Marca BS. We're not signing Felix. He'd destroy the wage structure, we're far too sensible to do something like that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 There's a list of players that have played for or been touted for the top clubs, with huge fees mentioned, without ever looking like the player they're hyped up to me. Players like Jenas, Morata, David Luiz, He's on it at the moment and I don't see that changing like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBrownBottle Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 The press are lazily linking these players - particularly the foreign press - because they still think they have Man City Mk II on their hands. They don’t though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luiz 50 caps for Brazil, played a decade at the highest level in Europe, starting CB for multiple league titles, FA Cups and ran deep in the CL for that time, winning it once and playing excellently that year. Morata - was never a key starting man for a top side. But he contributed to multiple league titles, CL finals etc. scored at like 3 major international tournaments. Surely 50+ caps for Spain and a decent goalscorer at that level. Then there's Jermaine Jenas. League Cup winner. Played for Spurs and has suddenly remembered playing for Newcastle United in the CL Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Played for Spurs and has suddenly remembered playing for Newcastle United in the CL It's all relative. Jenas is just a lower ranked player that fits the same attributes, he had a lot of hype around him, was constantly strongly linked with Arsenal, and was regularly picked for England. All despite having one good half season in 02-03, then turning into a bang average incredibly spineless footballer.

FFP governs what clubs can spend and was brought in post the Man City takeover. Even with increased sponsorship etc, there’s not much chance we’d spend the (relative) sums they did.
