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

[Beanstalk]

We are actually talking about a player who even last year had moments as a genuine elite player.

Exactly. Second youngest debutant in Barca’s history, youngest goalscorer in their history. Youngest player to feature for Barca in the champions league. Youngest goalscorer in the champions league ever. Spains youngest goalscorer (pre-Gavi).

I AM NOT CALM. THIS IS NOT LITTLE OLD BRIGHTON.

 

[The Fifth Column]

We have only been getting a season or so out of our best players lately before selling them so this would make absolutely sense if it only costs us £10m.

 

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

What ? I mean, was it even worth starting the thread ?

I'm trying to see if there is any genuine transfer news and all I'm getting is folk deluding themselves into believing utter tripe.

There is a serious side to it though. I mean, all this is harmless enough, but it don't 'alf show how folk will believe any old shit they read online.

This could be gold

 

[Greg Bobkin]

And tonight everyone loves Fabrizio Romano!

I don't.

If - and it's still a big IF to me - Fati SIGNS, I'm looking forward to what negative spin NSC's resident rebel will put on it...

I think we mostly use him as impact off the bench this season.

Possibly as many as almost 60 games……..….plenty of minutes available for all of them.

 

[trueblue]

Played 51 games last season so hopefully over the injuries.

Not sure you can draw any conclusions. Only played for an hour or more in 13 of them. Let’s hope so though. You can see why Albion might appeal as he clearly needs to be playing and in a good environment to get his career back on track. A year might work well for everyone.

 

[nwgull]

If he’s so good, the why are Barca loaning him to us for a season?

 

[Simster]

Has anyone got a mate who's a Barca fan? I want to know if he says he's shitehouse.

 

[BrickTamland]

Exciting. A loan was all we’d ever reasonably get and helps with the front line depth with Enciso’s squad injury

 

[The Fits]

The problem is now we have to believe every insane rumour on twitter.

 

[Change at Barnham]

Thank goodness he hasn't got an M in his name, the club shop would go into meltdown.
And there's no chance they will let him choose a squad number that includes a two.

We're going to need a bigger club shop.

[NorthStandSeagull]

4 ops already on his left knee…. If he can get over that then god what a signing that is

 

[Greenbag50]

Naylors retweeted it.

As long as he isn’t to put off when he has to drive through Lancing we’re good ?

Boooo

 

[willalbion]

I don't.

If - and it's still a big IF to me - Fati SIGNS, I'm looking forward to what negative spin NSC's resident rebel will put on it...

David Ornstein has said it’s *probably happening. He’s reliable and doesn’t have a catch phrase. This is RIDICULOUS

 

[Krafty]

It's on Wikipedia, yeah I know it's unreliable, but WHAT THE F***

 

[The Pilsbury Echo]

So what could possibly go wrong...
A, air traffic control
B, Lancing roadworks
C,Chelsea
D, EVERYOTHEREFFINGTEAMINEUROPE
E, WE ACTUALLY SIGN HIM AND ME AND THE MRS MAKE SWEET SWEET MUSIC!

SHES HAPPY TO WAIT 24HRS TILL THE DEALS DONE APPARENTLY!

If he’s so good, the why are Barca loaning him to us for a season?

This explains it pretty well.

 

[Frutos]

Expensive sick note if not injury free

Some people are never satisfied.

 

[Farehamseagull]

A front 3 of Fati, Kanchelskis and Owen is mouth watering

Where does Calleri fit into this though?
