They're supposedly interested in Emerson too.

Doesn’t strike me as a Conte type player.

I demand board unanimity before we do anything else on this.

All I remember is signing him on FIFA 17, very quick but not very strong, so unless he's bulked up I think he'd be ineffective in the PL.

Knowledge bomb or what

This would be the dream scenario. Still an incredible prospect. I'd prefer him to Dybala

I don't know too much about the lad, but some people are saying he's been a bit of an expensive let-down for Atletico. Can anyone confirm or deny this idea, and why?

He doesn't fit in at all well with Simeone's defensive style. That's the main issue.

have a portuguese friend that talks about him alot as he was supposed to be the future of their national team. Thinks he's been a massive disappointment and not really pushed on how they thought he would. Not just at AM but for the national team it hasnt really clicked either.

It's clear that AM massively over payed for hype as we did with Ndombele, though I suspect his career will nowhere near fall down like tangy Just that he may not be all that amazing

Maybe they need to accept that they overpaid (like we did with Ndombele), and not expect a massive fee for him. Difference is, Felix is a grafter whereas Ndombele is a lazy bastard. Felix needs to play in an attacking team though which might unlock his talent again.
