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

[aolstudios]

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 anywhere near as good a Vicente at the same age I’ll be over the moon though!

Beat me to it.
Vicente won player of the year in Spain, ffs

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.

If so, they’ve changed it. Still says £260,000 on the version of the story I’m seeing. Not sure how you can be so certain about £200k unless you negotiated his contract. Either way, I imagine that includes a large chunk of bonuses we won’t be getting involved with so it’ll be a bearable figure for a season.

 

[Mancgull]

Obviously a medical will be done, but surely as he’s been playing already this season, and this is only a loan, you would think that it may be a less rigorous one than for buying a player?
Quick run round the training ground and touch your toes.... right here’s your shirt, smile for the camera.

It's nuts but all part of the excitement.
The idea that he's going to be massively better than Mitoma is also a real push.

 

[Tony Towner's Fridge]

Great nostalgia.
Makes you think our song for him should be;
Ole, Ole, Ole, Ole, Fati, Fati

How about a variation on this



hey Fati Bloom Bloom?

TNBA

TTF

How long does a medical take?

 

[A1X]

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

Guess we'll just have to win it on penalties then, completing the Solly March redemption arc

What do you mean you've broken one of your toes and been blinded by the camera flash?

You're out for six weeks?!

KITSON!!!

 

[Icy Gull]

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

He’ll be failing the NDH policy in that case

 

[Icy Gull]

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

A night to forget for Harty

 

[Guinness Boy]

It's nuts but all part of the excitement.
The idea that he's going to be massively better than Mitoma is also a real push.

The idea he’s directly competing with Mitoma is also pretty mad. While he’s played more at left wing than anywhere he’s right footed and can play on either wing, at 10 or as a false 9. The player he’s closest to is Enciso and the one who should be worried about slipping down the pecking order is Adingra.

Can we ditch “Hey Jude” and play “Your the one for me Fatty” by Morrissey on Saturday night?

 

[banjo]

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

We’ll wake you up when it happens.

I’ll take just dropping Hey Jude

I’ll take just dropping Hey Jude

We're not getting Bellingham as well are we ? This is insane, what a window!

Not Pedro rather? I see Enciso and him being the number 10's. Doesn't really matter, they can all play in multiple positions and it will increase RDZ's options massively, plus Buonanotte can learn bucket loads from him in order to take over next season (assuming he doesn't go out on loan)

Posting again cos idea that Bloom is happy to cough up the wages or most of them for a 200K a week player seems just fantastical to me at least . According to this - we’re paying considerably less.

Sounds good. Not so far off the £6m i guessed at this morning.

And we have got LOADS of games. Everyone will be needed.
