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

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

Let's hope we're not making a Faustian pact here!!

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

How many posters actually heard of him and seen him play before yesterday ?

Yes, lots. Outstanding talent who’s been unlucky with injury.

Make no mistake, if we complete this, it is the most incredible signing in our history and THE signing of the transfer window anywhere.

 

[Napper]

so he was 1 in 3 pre injury and 1 in 5 post.

BBC reporting it as “all but done” - mind blown. Barcelona wonder kid selects Brighton as their preferred destination. Over multiple other suitors. I think I may have gone into shock.

What an amazing coup for the club

How many posters actually heard of him and seen him play before yesterday ?

I'd imagine 80-90% had heard of him and 60- 75% had seen him play. That's being conservative.

He plays for Barcelona and was the next big thing before the injuries. Not exactly under the radar for anyone with a passing interest in football.

 

[Greg Bobkin]

Why do some people on here keep ending their sentences with 'no?'. Bloody odd if you ask me. You're not RDZ you're Bobkin, no?

No, no?

For me, it is what it is.

Oh Fati Bloom Bloom!

What an amazing coup for the club

This will have a knock-on effect I reckon: we're suddenly going to become a lot more attractive as a destination for promising young players. To a certain extent, we are already but this is promising squared.

I still can't quite believe it's happening

when is the deadline for registration to play Saturday

Noon tomorrow I think

[El Turi]

when is the deadline for registration to play Saturday

12pm tomorrow. If he’s flying in this afternoon, the deal will hopefully be done by the end of the day and will probably get announced late tonight or tomorrow morning.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

If a player prefers us to Spuds then there is a new world order in footballing terms

Sadly Spurs pulled out as no option to buy.

 

[Justice]

Yeah. He's working on the biggest global sports platform writing about the best ever years for the Albion in his lifetime reporting the club and has been reporting some of the biggest global transfer stories all summer. I'm sure he's gutted you're not impressed.

You would have thought a local BHA journo who is always hinting he has club sources would have been all over this last night.

I still can't get my head around how far we have come.
25 years ago, we signed Gary Hart from Stansted for £1,000 and a set of track-suits. Now we sell players to Chelsea for £100 million, and loan players from Barcelona

I’m sure I read somewhere there’s a €1bn payout clause.

Good update, I'm thinking the flight is the private jet from Seville (12:00) to Biggin Hill (15:16)
Hopefully we get an update from Fati once he's arrived in England - just like Baleba
