Re: João Felix - Benfica wonderkid - now at Atletico

I had hopes in this kid until @Hapless_Hans started praising him...

Another Dembélé. Next!

2-0 to Benfica - and another goal from João Felix! Another delightful one this one, composed and assured. Turned in the box, and absolutely blasted it, like he so often does, into the roof of the net! Quality. pic.twitter.com/O7UsDFEKRC

Not gonna lie, that's an elite finish.

by danyjr Sat May 18, 2019 10:25 pm

Dembélé does fakes like this in his sleep tbh. Not impressed.

but he can't finish, otherwise you would be in CL finals

by danyjr Sat May 18, 2019 10:59 pm

I don't think Boca Juniors would be in the CL final regardless of Dembélé's ability to finish. But I take your point.

City looking at this lad to possibly replace Sane. Highlights makes him out to be the Protugese Messi, but he's doing it in Liga NOS hmm

. And Benfica wants 120m

YT Highlight:

What with Ederson and Bernardo Silva all Benfica fans' second team is Benfica. Looks good. Add him to the rotation.

BREAKING: Atlético Madrid have won the race to sign João Félix from Benfica. They'll pay his €120m release clause in full and the deal could even be announced soon. (Source: MARCA)

worse team in the world for a young attacking player.

Agreed. Even United would have been a better option.

Twice the price of Jovic hmm

I suppose that's after nationality tax and flair bonuses.

by Mr Nick09 Mon Jun 17, 2019 6:13 pm

It's the perfect set up for him though, he will be in a two striker offense and will be projected as a star right away if Atletico have success. Great signing, la Liga is doing well

by Doc Mon Jun 17, 2019 6:42 pm

It's a fine stepping stone for him tbh but here's the other side of that coin: Simeone has an incredibly shit record for signing attackers and yes, that sort of includes Lemar. So, while La Liga does suit him and Atletico theoretically is a good option, Simeone seriously cannot pick a good attacker for his team lol.

by Hapless_Hans Mon Jun 17, 2019 9:38 pm

Is this to be trusted? Let's not forget Marca is toilet paper more often than not.

Would definitively prefer this for him to City

That's for being twice the talent, easily. Laughing

LMAO honestly you guys keep sounding like you believe you signed some worldie talent in Jovic.

by Freeza Mon Jun 17, 2019 9:43 pm

I would've used Rodrygo as the comparison if anyone. Or Vinicius. Not Jovic.

I've never made any such claims about Jovic, I'm hardly familiar with him. Just because I've mentioned him more times than you mention anything related to Bayern Munich, doesn't mean that I'm hyping him up hmm

What worldies have your club signed in recent time, anyway? Yeah, let's talk about Real Madrid :whistle:

by Doc Tue Jun 18, 2019 12:10 pm

Coman and Gnarby. Worldies in the world of Bayern imo.

In their defense, Coman cost like 25m € while Gnabry cost a whopping 7m €.
Honestly can't complain about Gnabry's season in light of that Laughing

Wow this guy is the real deal. Atletico wins the summer window trophy with this one.

Rodrygo or Vinecius are garbage in comparison.

by zenmaster Thu Aug 01, 2019 1:32 pm

I liked this guy from the video and highlight. Hoping he will destroy the league.

Struggling to see what both those listed names have done to warrant any hype especially Vinicius.

His price tag and being a youngster within the brand of Real Madrid inflated his hype beyond what he seems.

Felix is a genuine talent as was the star of the Europa League last season and will carry on the superstar role that Cristiano does for Portugal should he unearth his talent.

If Cristiano had the talent Portugal is churning out at his side now they would have bound to do far better than their under achieving results aside from the Euros.
