I believed that the reason he shunted was because he had the misfortune that in his most important formative year he was at A. Madrid where brawns and exceptional hardwork was valued over creativity and talent. He never could match up to the exacting physical standards demanded by Someone and this lost his way. Same thing happened to Mikel Obi who had all his attacking instinct coached out by a Jose Mourinho who are that time needed a destroyer not a creator. I remembered Arda Turan's interview when he left A.Madrid. He said his body could no longer cope with the physical standards demanded by simeone.  I think the resentment btwn Felix and Simeone started from both not enjoying each other's attributes. With the kind of creative players we have now in the team, I don't expect Felix to struggle so much. If he can rediscover his confidence, we might have a 'gem' of a player in out hands
