If only I'd scrolled down a few more posts :ROFLMAO:
Lol - now that is funny šŸ˜‚

I think it might be nearer 80% of his wages though - at least according to the media links above

Any idea why he didnā€™t come on today? Full rest in the international break and still canā€™t get a sniff, looking like money well spent.
The fact that Moder was (in effect) playing up front for most of the game whilst Fati stayed on the bench reading the programme showed where he is with us atm. With still no Pedro you'd think he'd have been involved today, but sadly, he's been a chronic letdown.

Yeah that's true, I was going more based on the Ā£7m figure and then realised that we're not paying for the full 52 weeks obviously.

Was too lazy to change it and realised you'd already done the hard work šŸ˜‚

Fati left out tonight to "work on his fitness" (as per The Athletic).
I heard he had an argument with RDZ after the Liverpool game.

He had better not be here next season, total waste of space. Played well against a crap Ajax side twice and that's about it.

If you're going to get a marquee loan player for a season long loan. What is the point in treating him as a under 21 easing in to the 1st team for 3/4 of the season. He has been let down IMO.

He hasnā€™t - 1 it takes a while to learn the tactics, 2 heā€™s spent a lot of time injured before coming here he was never going to play every minute, 3 he learnt them and was beginning to come better before his injury, 4. Currently he doesnā€™t deserve to be in first 11 and says a lot about him if heā€™s not fit and we are naming mark o mahoney on the bench.
Just because your a marquee singing doesnā€™t give you the right to play you still have to earn your place

Fair comment. But but my point is we got the deal to make a positive difference in 1 season.

We did and I hoped for a bit more and we were seeing signs of it before the injury. It works both ways though this was a 16 year old kid hailed the next Messi but after season 1 he had bad injuries and loss of form. He should be wanting to show everyone on and off the pitch how good he is so heā€™s in Barcelonaā€™s plans for next season. At the moment he wouldnā€™t even be in our thoughts let alone theirā€™s and I suspect unless something changes drastically all he will ever be is a wonder kid who didnā€™t reach his potential

HE's been let down? F*** me, that's one hell of a lot of pushing back reality in once sentence!

See your point. Hope in the remaining games he can prove us wrong. Like him to be a success.

Blimey, another one. Judging by all the previous he won't be playing for us again then
To be fair, I'm not too fussed if De Zerbi gets into arguments with players who've not done anything while they've been here and won't be seen ever again after the end of the season anyway.

Maybe we should get somebody really shit in on a loan deal just for him to vent at occasionally.
