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

[chaileyjem]

See @Zeberdi above . It’s also virtually unheard of for Romano to do a “here we go” without it happening (clubs and player - verbal agreement) and the Spanish journo concedes Albion are favourites. But who doesn’t like a bit of extra drama…

I don’t think this is news or too worrying - Sevilla have been linked heavily all window - by all accounts, there‘s a bit of family conflict between his dad and Ansu over where he goes (as posted in the Athletic link I mentioned earlier) his Dad who wants Ansu to stay with La Liga and sign a move to Sevilla (his Dad’s home town) has been pushing Ansu to leave Barca but Ansu seemingly has his heart set on the PL. (And Sevilla are bottom of the La Liga!)

What Ansu Fati’s father has already said hints at preferred move amid Spurs interest

Chelsea and Tottenham could miss out on Ansu Fati, if comments from the player’s father on his preferred destination are to prove correct.

Oh well. Was fun while it lasted. The draw of de zerbi obviously not that great.

Are Sevilla not in the champions league?

I've missed this until now and haven't got past post #180.

That said, you're pulling my f*cking leg, right? This isn't real life.

Having Butters inevitably leads to getting Fati.

Ansu Fati is in Seville meditating @LaVanguardia
Brighton: would assume 80% of the token. Transfer without purchase option.
Tmb met a few hours ago with Sevilla, who are trying
If nothing happens, travel to Brighton tomorrow at noon



Here's the translation direct from the paper which doesn't even mention Seville still being in the frame.....we pay 80% of wages.

Tense waiting time at the FC Barcelona offices. There are 48 hours left for the transfer market to end and the club continues working to close the arrival of João Cancelo without ruling out more departures. One of them is that of Ansu Fati. The stonemason, driven by his surroundings and after three days of League without being a starter, has decided to leave. During yesterday's day, he spoke with Tottenham and Chelsea. Even with Seville. But late at night Brighton came into the bid. Roberto de Zerbi, his coach, is in love with Ansu Fati and their conversation was key to convincing him. If nothing goes wrong, sources from the player's environment assure this newspaper that 10 Barça will travel to Brighton, today at noon from Seville, where he has spent the last hours.

Barcelona does not want to lose sight of it. Therefore, the operation will be closed by assignment without a purchase option for one year. Brighton assumes 80% of the player's chip, which ranges from 12 to 16 million euros gross.

Brighton assumes 80% of the player's chip

Mental. Comparison for me would be Ostigaard pre-Arsenal. Top rated 16 year old in world by some way but then not quite blossomed at the very top of world football by the age of 18/19.

Pedro was the highest projected youngster (and best player) in the Championship and is the future of our club, Fati was alongside Mbappe and the Brazilian lad at Real, the highest projected youngster in the world. So many injuries but we don’t need him for 90 minutes every single game. Plus have a lot of games. Mental.

Yeah let's get rid.

 

[ChickenBaltiPie]

To say I’m underwhelmed is a dramatic overstatement

 

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

Don’t let him speak to Baunotte about the weather whatever we do

It's why we're sending him out on loan.

 

[Fergus the Schnoodle]

Great player, but no Danny Wellbeck . This can’t really be happening….

 

[Robinjakarta]

Not been this excited about a Fati since David Stockdale joined us

But is it pronounced Fatty? Or is it Farty? FWIW, I know that the Turkish name Fatih is pronounced Farty but don't know about this one.

The Europa league winners can’t offer European football?

Was never going to happen

No way did this back and forth happen in the few hours last night . Twitter is just bollocks

Yep, great work by the club to keep it quiet until now.

My mate used to super size his meal (when they were allowed to ask) and reckons he’s shitehouse

Once FR says here we go it’s done.

I can feel myself heading towards the euphoria that day when we signed CMS to beat off Leicester and West Ham to his signature. Yes it really is that exciting if we can pull it off


Hope it has a better ending if we do though.
