Mbappe was sold at what age for 180 ?
-
Atletico got desperate after so many stars left.. Spending this sort of money is not their thing. They still want to be top 3 in spain with madrid and barca. The market is crazy!
-
Felish is going to flop so hard at Atletico lol
-
this honestly could end up being the biggest flop in football history
-
It's not really a gamble when you have nothing to win:
Best case scenario he DOES turn out to be the 5th best player in the world and you just paid what he is (will be) worth for him. No gain.
Worst case scenario he flops and you just wasted a massive amount of money. Big loss.
Realistic scenario he proves to be somewhat decent and Atletico paid €126 mln for a player that is (will be) worth around €50 mln. Moderate loss.This is not a gamble, this is a prayer.

Next Renato Sanches, flop who ends up at Swansea city or some other lower level team in 2 years. U don’t pay $126M when strikers like Harry Kane, Icardi, and others are being valued around that price. I love the Portuguese league, but scoring 20 goals there is not an accomplishment, Bas Dost and old ass Jonas scores over 30 each a couple seasons ago, I guess they must be worth $200M. No common sense used by teams in the market anymore
-
Why you people doesn't talk about Africa cup of nations????
-
Not worth it
-
You guys don’t shit about Atleti you’re making all this conclusions based on juventus match
-
Money has ruined the game, he will never reach his full potential with a price tag like that
-

Just trust In Diego Simone , Joao Felix will Be Next Star For Atletico Madrid #AupaAtleti
-
Joao felix is better than cr7
-
ESPN Fc hates Atletico de Madrid!
-
Same thing they said about Grizmann!
-
Why not get sancho who is younger, better, cheaper?
-
Dude wasn’t even great at Europa level and none existent at international level. He’s played vs farmers in a poor league. He’s not even close to what Mbappe did.

borrowed comment:
THE ATHLETICO PLAN FOR FELIX:
The plans are simple. Put him to defend the 90 minutes and from time to time throw him balls so he can beat defenders 20cm taller than him. If he does surrender, he is branded a mercenary and lack of commitment by simeone….lol -
fuck. way too fucking much for this kid. i guess they got the money for it.
-
He is the next Griezmann…
-
Where is all this green coming from. There is a shift in the investments markets from oil too entertainment. IMO.
-
I know Griezemann is going, but how can you spend €126million on one player and completely absolve yourself of any responbility of winning the League? Diego Simeone is a top manager and creates defensively superb teams, but come on! take some responsibility instead of spinning this into a 'development project'. Is Simeone a bottler who can't take the pressure of responsibility and just thrives off the 'underdog mentality' where you have nothing to prove but just everything to gain? Not a top manager if that is his mentality.
-
But will Joao Felix live up to the hype? They bill him to be the next Ronaldo of Portuguese football
-
How much would a young Ronaldo Nazario da Lima cost today? :DDD 300-400 million euros for sure.
At the ago of 17 he became world champion. Yet he didn't play a minute in the USA, he still could have played in that monster squad either with Romario or Bebeto.
At the age of 20 he scored 42 goals in 46 games for PSV and
at the age of 21 he scored 34 goals in 37 games for Barcelona. -
Look aguero's history and see his first club in europe.
-
How they gonna get a profit on 126 mil lol
-
This price is stupid…should’ve paid 100 million max
-
Steve Nicol sounds blissfully ignorant
Isn't it obvious that ATL is the right choice? How can he say Barca or Madrid would be better…..Barca – Dembele, Malcom, Coutinho etc…. Struggled
Madrid – Mariano, Ceballos, Isco, Vinicius, James etc….. All struggled with game time
-
Who????
-
This is also known as 'desperate buy'. To ease the fans since half of the first team players will be gone. What a waste of money to spent on one single teenager. They need a bunch of players pronto.
-
Atletico offering up 120 Hoe's LOL
-
Worth 40 mil at tops
-
Where is all this money coming from? Wtf
-
They could’ve bought Dries Mertens and Hakim Ziyech or Icardi and Ziyech for the same money. It’s absurd. Felix as good as he is isn’t a physically developed player in order to play in a Diego simeone way.
-
Happy as a Portuguese fan but crazy money for a young talent who has never been tested at the highest level. Smells a bit desperate for that price.
-
Ronaldo will just score the 1756th hattrick against them in the champions league and knock them out buying a player under the age of 20 for over a 100m is a stupid rash move that even clubs will Real Madrid and Barca and psg wouldn’t do Atlético have no idea what to do with the money they’re getting for griezmann they could’ve signed de ligt and Icardi for that money

Love listening to Sid Lowe! All the other journos too for that matter. Everyone out here talks about Marcotti but Raph Honigstein and Julian Laurens are pretty good too.
-
Spending so much money ….wow I never thought I'd live to see the day FIFA career mode in real life
-
Yup the days of buying Cristiano Ronaldo for peanuts are gone, pay or let him stay. When you think that Benfica sold Ederson and Oblak for below 120 millions combined, Benfica has wised up.
-
If it works out its genius, if it doesn't it stupid…..only way to find out is to take a chance.
