Because we freed him from prison. He took a massive pay cut just to get away from Chelsea/Atleti

He’d rather play for free for us. This is Barca

Those former board members will be looking for that Barca prison freedom as well

Barca were the only club outside of Saudi who were interested, so essentially ya'll saved his career. Until he flops and gets benched and speaks out against Chavy, obviously. Portuguese Macheda.

4 g/a in 2 games already

at Chelsea, 4 g/a in 20 games

He is so good

Did he play Man City every week at Chelsea?


Betis is a top 5 team in La Liga, Felix > Saka

Dunno why its so typical of cules to get excited about one of our players so quickly, must be in the cule DNA Nice to see so far, but am waiting for see how he does vs the better opponents

I think it's extremely common for fans in general to be very knee-jerky when it comes to player performances. Felix might find his feet at Barcelona for all we know, but we won't know if he will do so until deep into the season, and at that point I imagine he will have received both praise and criticism on a monthly basis. Most people don't seem to value season long consistency very much unless a lack of consistency is reflected in the end of season result.

I think Man City's biggest strength is that they're consistent even when some, or even several of their players are out of form. Someone always seems to step up their game when others are stepping it down. They always manage to churn out results and no one seems to remember their poor performances when they hit peak form during the business end of the season.

antwerp hype

Felix has always been quality so why do you act like I'm basing my hype off 2 games?

He just picked the wrong career paths.. Even so he was pretty good at Atleti, not 120m good but the hype was insane for him at that price.

Barça fans are already turning on him

Never saw the hype behind him. A dollar store Suso.

He's great. Not 120m great, and that pricetag weighs heavy on him, but i guess for you guys if you're not mbappe-level you're useless.

I'd buy him out for 30-50 but not 70-100.

When ever he play he has been the main guy for Barca in attack. His ceiling isn't high but he is really punching above his weight at the moment.

While Dortmund defense is there for the taking their pressing and tactics are quite scary and Real should avoid them at all cost.

I agree Adit Dortmund quite impressed me in the UCL. For some reason they aren't as good in the Bundesfodder but their style does suit the more general European scope.

My assessment is they begin very strong but tend to fade out. As if their team begins to press the run trigger in the first twenty minutes at all costs. Their defence is shambles I agree despite Hummels and Sule formidable in the centre.

When they do gas out they are far more vulnerable but still look to be a threat all the time with their wide-pressing.

Exactly. They give their entire energy in first 65 minutes and then insha'Allah. Their pressing means they will make the game 50:50 and on a good day if they are able to score all the chances then you are in trouble. Made for champions League except for the slow defense despite Hummel's heroics even at this age.

decent bicycle kick

called it

Everyone did except hopeful/delusional Barça fans. There is a reason the guy was unwanted by two other clubs.

I hope this finally kills the silly myth of Simeone stifling attacking players.

What a career

João Félix back to Chelsea, here we go! Deal in place with Atlético Madrid and his agent Jorge Mendes.

Contract until June 2030 plus option for João, as travel and medical tests being booked for next 24/48h.

incredible, Chelsea basically forced into signing him so Atleti can buy Gallagher and it all balances the books apparently, he is a bum
