João Felix - Benfica wonderkid - now at Barca

Rodrygo or Vinecius are garbage in comparison.

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.

Yeah I know they ain't shit, I was being sarcastic because someone mentioned them in this thread earlier.

I'd say he's a better signing than Hazard.

What Atletico did a direct swoop with Griezmann in terms of money. Brought the fresh new and talented version of the same. Lets see how he adjusts in Liga.

Difficult to quantify what would be a better signing as one is for the future while the other one for immediate results given the latter is at his prime but like you I would prefer signing Felix into my team rather than Hazard, as highly as I rate Eden himself.

Nah there is a high chance that he murders la Liga too. He plays in the perfect system for his talent, and he seems to have a world class talent at finishing

How much are Atletico going to ask for him when a big club comes in...

He has a 350 mil release clause so I would say anything between 200 to 300 mil if he becomes world class

lol actually griezmann did a favor to atletico by going to Barca, they have now even better player

I'm gonna make an unpredictable guess and say he'll be the first 350m player.

Maradona esque run today. Glad to have him in La Liga

Saw it, he runned the whole field shifting at least 3 defenders while doing various tricks. Ended up as a provoked penalty... missed by Morata

Seems a Mbappesque prospect

Glad he chose Alteti and not someone like Citeh ( ) eventhough fair to say it would have augured for him well to go to a more attacking team.

He'll be gone if he develops into a top 5 player. For a lot of millions.

7-year contract until 2026, release clause 350 mil euros

good luck

Good. If he's a success I don't think he will leave for anything less than 350m. He'll stay for a long time.

Unless Atleti have to cash in as their debt payments get considerably too much to bare...

Spanish a bit rusty and without the use of google translate...

When I was at home(?), I had an excellent life, perfect/great friends(?) and all I wanted was to be the best player in Benfica's history.

How badly off was that?

No past tense.for the second part.

I was home, I had an excellent life, i had my friends, it was perfect. I want to go back and leave my name engraved in Benfica's history.

"and I want"

very close aside from that

he's saying he wants to go back home

if he can't handle spain imagine him going to england

Spanish league is tailored made for him, he is just in the wrong team with the worst possible manager for a player of his skill set. Heard La Real brings out the best in young attacking players...

ffs... isn't home like a 30 min flight or 5 hour drive away?

fwiw it's normal to be homesick in your first year abroad, you get used to it, if he has the stuff to make it he'll get over it

I remember feeling that way once, now I've been in the US for 12 years
