Yeah, I guess it's a panic transfer. Chelsea brought in Felix with a loan scheme which actually cost them, there is no mandatory purchase clause at the end of the loan period, so Felix will return to Atletico Madrid.
The purpose of recruiting Felix was to renew the Blues' attack line which was considered not sharp. But I doubt Felix will be able to solve the problems Chelsea are currently facing especially in such a short amount of time. Felix is indeed one of the talented young players, but he is not experienced enough and the Premier League is a league that is quite tight and tough.
Felix's first debut with Chelsea in the Premier League was quite disappointing, getting a red card and at the same time his team lost 2-1 away to Fulham, this proves what I said that Felix was unable to contribute to Chelsea in that match. Currently, Chelsea's condition is getting worse in the standings because they are ranked 10th and have collected 25 points. Obviously this is a big worry, because next season they will have difficulty securing Europa League tickets.
Felix's loan from Atletico is still too soon to judge, but the Premier League is different from the Spanish league, so it needs adaptation to playing with the team, its first debut was very disappointing and it is true that this was a frantic loan by Chelsea.
I can accept that this transfer is a panic transfer. But has anyone seen Aubameyang, Christian Pulisic and Raheem Sterling benefit the team? Felix will be more useful than these 3 names I have counted. You say that one of these 3 players will not be able to enter the top 11, I think this number is low, and 3 should not be able to enter. Despite the panic transfer, I think he will contribute to the team. We are not talking about any football player, we are talking about Felix.
If you watched the Fulham vs Chelsea match last night, that is an illustration of Chelsea's strength going forward and there was almost no big impact when Felix played before getting a red card. Christian Pulisic and Raheem Sterling are currently out injured, while Aubameyang has been a victim of Felix's arrival and will find it difficult to compete for a place.
