There was some dependable reviews suggesting that Chelsea are already eager to signal Joao Felix on a everlasting deal this summer season, with one report under stating that talks are already taking place between the membership and Atletico Madrid.
After all, Felix is simply on a dry mortgage so Chelsea wouldn’t have any choice 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 really don’t care both method, simply so long as we nonetheless get our priorities completed 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? After all, it’s a prime membership, there will probably be large competitors for recreation time, it occurs. High golf equipment wants two prime gamers for every place, that means some gamers will probably be left pissed off, that’s simply how it’s.
I like Felix, and I don’t even suppose we’ve seen wherever close to the perfect of him but. He’s been vastly unfortunate to not have extra objectives and assists registered to his title underneath us but, and it’s been a matter of inches that has taken objectives away from him – hitting the fallacious a part of the publish on a few events.
However I believe 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 suppose we’ve seen the perfect 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 closing conclusion on Felix till I’ve seen him play out the tip of this season with us – that may assist me make my choice, 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 at the beginning.
We must always maybe attempt to kind a deal to mortgage him for one more season with an choice to purchase. Whether or not Atletico would settle for that or not we don’t know. But when not that, then the deal must be good for us as properly, maybe utilizing one in all two gamers to get the payment 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 major priorities over anything anyway, so I’m not even actually occupied with anything proper now. I belief the membership and Potter to do the best factor and have a plan with the place they are going to be becoming all these gamers in, and promoting the best gamers to make room within the squad to take action. however finally, we must always not make a closing choice till the tip of the season and we see how he performs for the remainder of it.
