[Albion] Ansu Fati **Signed On Loan 01/09**

[Hugo Rune]

From a marketing/commercial perspective, this deal is genius. Sign a famous wonderkid on loan, Europe wakes up to us actually existing and it opens doors for other players to be more willing to join us. Could be a great deal for everyone involved if things go well.

This is such a good point.

 

[um bongo molongo]

Exactly this. People slag off Naylor for not jumping on the bandwagon when he’s simply waiting for some facts to report. He can be seen as a bit of a club mouthpiece but that doesn’t really matter In broader terms for the Athletic as they can publish the externally sourced information through other journos like Ornstein. That avoids straining Naylor’s longstanding relationship with the club and allows him to get good access for longer in-depth Albion pieces. It makes perfect sense to operate in that way.

I have no issue with his stance. I do find his writing desperately dull though.

 

[Seaber]

At the moment, RDZ can pick a front four from:
Welbeck, Pedro, Ferguson, Mitoma, March, Adingra, Lallana, and Buonanotte although he may be heading for a loan himself.

I guess Gross and Milner could also play up there, although their talents are likely to be employed further back. Alzate and Moder - not sure how far either are in RDZ's plans right now, Lamptey as a winger is also a possibility. But the addition of another forward player is pretty vital based on our season length.

Mitoma also likely heading to the Asian Cup of course, so cover will be needed (guess that's been mentioned about 19 times)

Lamptey and adingra gone same time too

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

The loan deal for Fati leaves a bit in the kitty for an additional significant signing. Just before we hear the chimes of Big Ben on SkySportsNews and the transfer window slams shut.

Has it not been agreed that our transfer window never slams; it closes gently, and nicely. like this:

It just took 2 hours 45 minutes for the plane to get there so it must be 1pm departure local time.

Especially according to Flightradar, it's scheduled to leave 2.5 hours late at 14:40.

Feels a little strange that we wouldn't put a release clause in Kudus' contract, but are happy to loan a player in the same position and return him for nothing in a year.

I does, also seemed off we passed on Livramento due to a buy back clause. Seems far too rigid to me, but what do I know on such matters.

In this case I'd imagine its directly related to the loss of Enciso and a fantastic opportunity to have half a season with both in the squad, with the cost met by Europa league revenue if we progress

All good now, just the flight to Biggin Hill which departs at 13:00 CET

Ansu Fati is already in Seville, where today he would have to sign the contract with his new club. But don't get your hopes up here because he has to catch a flight to London.

[Change at Barnham]

Ansu's probably in the duty free shop picking up a bottle of sangria for RDZ and a toy Spanish donkey for RDZ's missus to put in their lounge.
It's always nice to come armed with a couple of pressies.

Looks legitimate as there is a photo in the airport of Sevilla with the Europa League trophy last season (hopefully he ignored that!).
