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

[Gazwag]

Does Dunk to the ref and back to Dunk class as nil, one, or two passes?

I decided it was nil passes when I was counting but still part of the continued bha passes as we didnt lose the ball to the opposition

 

[Machiavelli]

That initial touch and the instant, perfectly placed shot were just sublime. Very few players could have done that.

Couldn't agree more. The technique and speed of execution was stunning.

He’s done well so far but his confidence / mojo will now be sky high. Hope he goes on a goal spree next few games. The other person I’d like to see score is Ferguson. UTA.

Just seems to pass it into the goal, doesn’t thrash at it, just caresses it.

Greaves style

Exactly - his goals were often beautiful, just passed it or walked it into the net - Best was another

Nowhere near the superman levels many on here said..

Essentially because there isn't much distance between us and Barca. It's not like when a Spanish superstar came to slum it in the middle of the championship.

Nowhere near the superman levels many on here said (bit of Barca hype I feel) but getting better every game. Think he could be mustard in a few months playing regularly.

Not Barca hype. He’d been out for a year and then mostly used as a sub so as @FCB said on here he’s a year behind in his development. Was playing for Spain and Barca at 16.

Two goals in five PL games (one with each foot) and one Europa league goal with a 90% ish pass accuracy suggests he’s started well and will get even better if he avoids injury. All that playing as a 10.

Not saying all but the constant posts on here about what a superstar he was seemed to come from fifa ratings and the odd YouTube video they’d watched!

He was genuinely the next big thing in world football. At 16 years old he was starting for Barcelona in La Liga and the Champions League.

Smile on his face after the game Thurs

Smile on his face after the game Thurs

Seems to be a humble, hard-working lad who is very happy to be here and has fitted right in with the club/squad ethos and DeZ’s ‘mentality’. He’s clearly a fantastic talent as well……suspect we’ll be looking back on his time in a season or two as our best loan ever, starting to click now. Him, Mitoma, Joao Pedro and Adingra establishing their places together is mouthwatering. As Roberto says often…’I very lucky’.

 

[Simster]

Just wonderful that he continues to get better and better.

In another universe, we've out bid Palace for the services of Odsonne Eduard, Fati's signing never happened, and it's NSC with a 60 page thread moaning at his lack of goals and threat.

Oh well, back to this universe. We're the ones with a world class kid on loan from Barca and they're the ones saddled with an overpaid twat deemed not good enough for the Scottish monkey tennis league. Carry on.

Whilst it’s a loan with no option to buy, could a deal be done at the right price? Barcelona are proper skint, and continue to have to generate funds through player sales..

Problem is if he has a great season with us he’ll be inundated with offers if they’re prepared to sell…….

I think the chance of Barcelona WANTING to sell are lower than the chances of Fati choosing us over another random club SHOULD Barca want to sell. If that makes sense.

Xavi just doesn't like him by all accounts so

Possibly (they are in deep trouble financially though), but if they do someone will potentially offer him double, treble or more the wages we’d be willing to pay…….so it’s almost certainly Barcelona or somewhere else

Its a catch 22, the better he play the more the price rockets

This. Meanwhile Yamal has taken Fati’s youngest ever record. And there’s this young kid Marc Guiu who doesn’t look bad either.
