João Félix

Things are happening.

This guy is a BUM.

The only difference between this guy and Coutinho is that this guy speaks Portuguese.

Nah brother, Phil will speak to you in Portuguese too

Another coutinho

At least it's a loan and not a permanent transfer.
Wonder what our plan is for the LW now though. Ansu gone, Abde likely gone. Ferran usually dogshit at the LW and better centrally or on the RW.

 

[Windhook]

I firmly believe Abde will remain in the squad. He's not a huge burden financially, improved player since last year, which wasn't the case for Ansu. Keeping Abde in rotation with Felix could be good.

 

[JamDav1982]

Fati is far better than Abde and was even last season.

I meant the ratio of salary to ability. Ansu was getting paid for the promised land, which never happened.

Poorly aged things

Poorly aged things

Probably. We've sold/loaned three wingers by now (if the reports on Abde are true).

Pulled this from Twitter so not sure if its true:

“Ansu Fati loaned out, only 80% of his wages paid by Brighton, Barça will receive no loan fee.

Joao Felix to sign on loan, Barça to pay 100% of his wages and a loan fee of €7M.”

How does Atleti continue to get loan fees for Felix? Terrible negotiation from Barca if we are paying them to take him on loan…

Because Saudi league will take Felix and he is open to join them.
Fati isn't going there, so we didn't have that leverage

 

[Barcaman]

If we are indeed paying his salary and 8 mil. then someone lost his mind.

 

[CatalinR10]

Cuh arrived.

[Messi983]

Welcome!

 

[Fati_Future_BallonDor]

This guy will be the transfer of the season!

@Andresito @Barcaman @Alik Time to move him to player thread
