Romelu Lukaku and Timo Werner were terrible, but Chelsea could at least claim ignorance. They know Joao Felix doesn’t create or score goals, and yet still want him? willfordy25
That could change. He’s hit the woodwork on four occasions and has often opted for the best method to finish a chance without pulling it off, which is more than can be said for Chelsea’s other misfiring forwards. But he’s never been prolific.
If Chelsea have the money for Felix as well as another £100m+ for a guaranteed source of goals then you might think: fair enough. But then why not buy a more creative second striker who can also chip in more frequently than Felix? A club as big as Chelsea can’t score 29 goals in 27 Premier League games – it’s unacceptable – and they therefore can’t allow space in their team for more pretty but ineffective footballers. From what we’ve seen since he joined in January, that’s Felix in a nutshell.
But they know exactly what they’re getting with Felix. There will be no questions about how he might adapt to English football, bond with his teammates or fit in the Chelsea system.
