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

[Thunder Bolt]

The Times are saying he's on £260,000 a week...

@chaileyjem has already posted debunking that nonsense.

 

[Whitechapel]

It’s just dawned on me that tomorrow might be the day we sign Fati. Signing Barcas #10 on the day we find out who we’ll be playing in Europe.

Brighton & Hove Albion Football Club, ladies and gentlemen.

 

[Mr Bridger]

It says euros not pounds and it's way too high.

He's on around £200k a week. I'd imagine we're covering around £150k a week of his wages according to reports.

Phew, thats the pies staying the same price then.

 

[Icy Gull]

There seems to be a hideous underestimating of this guy's ability.

Think Vicente, then think about Vicente aged 20, then add an additional 50% ability (at least).

Fati will be by far the best player ever to wear the stripes by a country mile.

He will impress, continually. We will have never seen anything like it. We will be talking about it for decades, just like Vicente.

Massive hyperbole re being 50% better than Vicente at his peak imo. Real Madrid offered what I think was a world record fee when he was tearing it up at Valencia. If he’s anywhere near as good as Vicente at the same age I’ll be over the moon though!

Lots of other sources saying between £6-10m a year.

UPDATE - RDZ Interview


Note: I don't know if this has been previously posted on here.

Yeah, we know the name Roberto. It's Kanchelskis, right?

Gonna stick my neck out and say it’s Mark McCammon.

 

[The Fits]

There's no way an 18 year old, even one as good as him, signs a 250k a week contract after being out for almost a year. It will almost certainly be made up heavily by bonuses.

Seb Carole

 

[HantsSeagull]

For those who maybe new here.

Always going to be my favourite

 

[lawros left foot]

If we're paying 80% of his alleged 12m euro pa salary as alleged.

At 500k per PL game, you betcha he will

But, if our end of his weekly wage is £160,000 then by singing him this late in the window, we have saved £1.5 million . Or, a third of a Caicedo, as I like to think of it.

 

[junior]

I reckon 8pm announcement.

 

[Littlemo]

Hope he passes the medical.

If you follow the news about Barca's finances, the only unbelievable part is that he's only on 250k a week.

 

[thedonkeycentrehalf]

Come on, more news please

He’s probably stuck in the queues on the A27 at Shoreham. He can see the training ground and is asking why he couldn’t have flown into the club airport that is next to the training ground and that he has been staring at for the last 20 minutes

 

[Krafty]

One rumour of his arrival at the training ground in Lancing, however I have found no pictures yet...



NOTE: It is confirmed that he will be arriving by car, and I believe there is someone reporting at the training ground currently.

Any fellow NSCers have spotted any arrivals at Lancing training ground?

 

[lawros left foot]

I reckon 8pm announcement.

What? Failed the medical?

 

[HastingsSeagull]

It’s midnight here but I can’t sleep. Just want to see him arrive at the club and then catch up in the early hours when invariably wake up to see which shirt he’s holding

Downside is when Barca finish 3rd in their Champions League group, end up in Europa, Fati wont be allowed to play for us when we Barca in the final

 

[Green Cross Code Man]

Gonna stick my neck out and say it’s Mark McCammon.

At least he'd be good on a phone in.
