Ornstein saying it’s off now too, Fabrizio suggesting they’re trying to save it but he’s here we go’d it so probably saving face 

Oh my days we’ve gone back for Felix

Yes I would love Felix. Palmer, Nkunku, Neto, Felix, stunning.

Probably makes more sense, could play anywhere along the front (maybe slot in the two 8s too)

Still a bit worrying he’s never found his potential though, so wonder what sort of fee we’d be going for. Anything around 40 or under is acceptable

“Chelsea source” on Twitter saying that he’s hearing more and more on Victor Oismhen. Maybe they’ve got lucky with a deal decided to sack off big Sam.

We agreed 35m for Samu so you’d think we would get Felix for the same price, if not less.

We’ve played an absolute blinder here. No way we would have got Felix for 35m before all this.

Pedro Neto, Felix and Osimhen. That is absolutely bonkers.

Thank f**k for that.

No he can’t. That’s the problem. The only position he can actually play without being a liability is striker. 

Even Gallagher created more chances per 90 than Joao all fart and no poo Felix. 
 

Desperate. Stinks of owing Mendes a favor.

This strikes me as a deal to make sure Conor and Alvarez go through. 

It just shows the only reason we’re buying from AM is to facilitate the Gallagher deal for FSR. Stinks of desperation

30mil is about Felix’s value, he’s really not that good but if it’s a choice between him and Samu then I can’t complain. 

Has Conor’s deal been done? Surely Ath Madrid will be fuming if we’ve messed them about. 

Wait a minute are there actual links to Felix or is this just forum talk?   Don’t care if Samu is on or off but don’t really care about Felix either.  Atletico must have some better players we can buy.

Romano reporting we turned our attention to Felix. 
 

 

 

EXCLUSIVE: Chelsea and Atlético Madrid are now discussing João Félix to #CFC as part of Gallagher deal!

Samu Omorodion deal collapsing and the two clubs don’t want Gallagher and Julián Álvarez deals to collapse too…

João Félix, being discussed with Jorge Mendes in London.
 

@fabrizo

If we sign Felix, it surely has to be for accounting purposes. I don’t believe that he’s signing to play…surely?!! 
 

We’ve already been there and he’s awful. 

Don't need Felix but I'm taking him over Omorodion, especially if we end up getting Osimhen too. 

Sounds like a failed medical, or we have collapsed the deal by moving the goal posts, maybe because of movement for Osimhen. 

Very strange to chase him all summer, get a bid accepted, and then fail to agree contract terms. 

Need a proper centre forward now. Felix just further emphasizes that we have too many attacking players with no centre forward to play off of. Jackson’s best qualities don’t come inside the box.

It’s desperate. Forced to do it to have the Gallagher/Alvarez deals go through and we are likely doing Mendes another favor on top of it. 

If you sit down and look at this though, we’ve basically funded their Alvarez purchase, given them one of best midfielders from last season and let them keep a promising striker all in return for a player in Felix they were desperate to get rid of.

That Barca also didn’t even start. Xavi disliked him.

Wouldn’t pay £5m, never mind £43m and the £250k pw wages. Please just give us a transfer ban, it would do us wonders, it really would. 

Felix is a big name....and that's it.

Was poor while he was here, and now we have Palmer and Nkunku who are better and play his position.

Just shows this was all to help Altetico, we did not really career about Samu we just wanted Gallagher to go and this is the move he chose.

Shows what a farce Clearlake really are, and what sort of deals they are working. Not ones to make us a better team.

Always rated Joao Felix's talent, I really wanted us to sign him last season. The issue is that he is one of those players that has all of the talent, but struggles to bring it out of himself. I feel like it's a mental thing.

He didn’t do himself any favours, extremely lazy and couldn’t be bothered. 

If he’s like that at his dream club imagine what he’ll be like with us again.
