There was some dependable experiences suggesting that Chelsea are already eager to signal Joao Felix on a everlasting deal this summer season, with one report beneath stating that talks are already taking place between the membership and Atletico Madrid.
In fact, Felix is simply on a dry mortgage so Chelsea shouldn’t have any possibility to purchase him proper now and a deal will have to be agreed. However seemingly Chelsea wish to do precisely that.
Whether or not we purchase him or not, I truly don’t care both method, simply so long as we nonetheless get our priorities finished as properly. If signing Felix stops us signing a brand new defensive midfielder, striker, a goalkeeper, and a squad clear-out, in that order, then no, we must always not signal Felix. If it makes no odds, then sure, let’s signal Felix.
Can we match all of them in? Once more, not an issue that I have to be involved about. That’s on the supervisor. Will there be points? In fact, it’s a high membership, there will likely be enormous competitors for sport time, it occurs. Prime golf equipment wants two high gamers for every place, which means some gamers will likely be left pissed off, that’s simply how it’s.
I like Felix, and I don’t even assume we’ve seen anyplace close to the very best of him but. He’s been massively unfortunate to not have extra objectives and assists registered to his title below us but, and it’s been a matter of inches that has taken objectives away from him – hitting the flawed a part of the put up on a few events.
However I feel what he brings is particular and distinctive – he brings aptitude and a direct fashion of play, one thing that we’ve been lacking in our squad since Eden Hazard. Like I say, I don’t even assume we’ve seen the very best of Felix but, and he hasn’t been nice in each minute he has performed. However for me, I’ve seen many positives, and I’ve seen him begin to create good partnerships with our present gamers over the pitch.

Nonetheless, I’ve additionally stated that I received’t make my remaining conclusion on Felix till I’ve seen him play out the top of this season with us – that may assist me make my determination, and I belief that the membership are doing the identical.
However finally, what different enterprise we do that summer season is in the back of my thoughts for now, method behind getting in a brand new defensive midfielder, striker, and a goalkeeper – that ought to stay the precedence firstly.
We must always maybe try to kind a deal to mortgage him for an additional season with an possibility to purchase. Whether or not Atletico would settle for that or not we don’t know. But when not that, then the deal needs to be good for us as properly, maybe utilizing one in all two gamers to get the charge down.
So to sum up, I’m not making any conclusive selections on Felix myself till the summer season. However finally my focus stays on actioning our important priorities over anything anyway, so I’m not even actually eager about anything proper now. I belief the membership and Potter to do the precise factor and have a plan with the place they are going to be becoming all these gamers in, and promoting the precise gamers to make room within the squad to take action. however finally, we must always not make a remaining determination till the top of the season and we see how he performs for the remainder of it.
