Fans seem split on Joao Felix, but proof is in the pudding – Talk Chelsea

I’ve been talking to quite a lot of Chelsea followers gauging feeling on the deal to deliver Joao Felix in on mortgage from Atletico Madrid for the remainder of the season, and I need to say that I’ve seen a relatively break up response.

Many are blissful, others are sad, and a few extra are someplace within the center. The actual fact is, there are definitely many execs and lots of cons on this deal, and Blues followers are typically break up.

As you possibly can see from Fabrizio Romano’s report beneath, the deal is kind of costly for 5 months, and Chelsea are additionally paying his wages in full, and haven’t any agreed purchase choice. Felix additionally prolonged his contract with Atletico for an additional season earlier than he joins.

Naturally, all of the above presents issues. There are lots of dangers right here and there’s additionally an opportunity that Chelsea don’t handle to signal him in the summertime and in the event that they do, he may nonetheless be very costly.

However for me, the proof can be within the pudding on this one. If he is available in now and baggage 10-15 targets and assists for the remainder of the season, which could truly even be a brilliant optimistic demand, then it’ll show to be an excellent signing regardless. Chelsea have clearly reacted to accidents to attackers right here, and that may be a good factor.

I can see all angles right here although, however I genuinely assume that if he actually improves our crew and is available in and helps with some targets and assists, then it’ll show to be determination.

He’s additionally seemingly very eager on making the transfer and has pushed it by fairly fast, so that may be a good signal. Let’s simply hope that he could make some constructive influence and enhance Chelsea, which let’s face it, isn’t laborious to do proper now!
