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

[Zeus]

Wages are being quoted as 250k per week in stories linking him to Spurs but maybe there’s a lot of bonuses bundled into that as it’s Barcelona. So could be a lot lower .. that’s why i guessed at 6m-10m.

I’ve seen £200kpw quoted in quite a few places.

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

And Chelsea will have to pay £125m+ if they want to buy him from Barca after he’s been with with us for a season -

Barcelona rejected an offer of £150m for him in 2020.

My mate's a Real Madrid fan and says he's shithouse.

 

[Farehamseagull]

I mean, it is such a shame we hit that ceiling in 2013 isn’t it?! What could have been ……

 

[trueblue]

I’ve seen £200kpw quoted in quite a few places.

£260k is the figure in The Times’ big article tonight about him joining Spurs….

.,, which they’ve just had to update….

If you can’t get excited by this, I weep for you. If all goes to plan, we’re talking about the most talented player to play for the club.

How many brilliant players have we been linked with recently? How many have turned out to be wishful thinking?
Spanish football might make a 20 year old look world class. Can he do a turn on a cold winters night away at burnley? Let's get him signed before getting all doe eyed

We’ve actually been rapidly approaching a point where I’m starting to debate if this is all real.

I could have been born anywhere in the country, could have had parents who dragged me along to watch Darlington, or Oldham, or Southend. But no, I just happened to be born in to this team for this journey. Absolutely mental.

I've been thinking this.
I'm starting to really wonder how much of this is in my head.

I'm starting to come around to that theory that our reality is an enormously complex video game being played by a superior being. It just turns out that the game is Football Manager, the superior being is Tony Bloom and he's found the cheat codes.

This is happening. And boy oh boy, this is as exciting as it may ever get for a Brighton signing. We’re signing Barcelona’s number ten to help us go deep in our inaugural European campaign. IT IS BLOODY EXCITING.

Who cares, we're playing them away on a Saturday afternoon in April.

 

[Zeberdi]

Barcelona rejected an offer of £150m for him in 2020.

I know but that was before his injuries became long term and changed his play - his value decreased somewhat after that - I doubt he would fetch that today (but might in 12 months time)

 

[Munkfish]

I’m just looking forward to someone signing for us having lined up alongside Messi, Suarez, Lewandowski trying to link up with Danny Welbeck

Could be funny if it wasn’t for the fact Welbz has probably played with just as many big names including Rooney, Ronaldo and pascal Gross

 

[Krafty]

Not attractive? Taking the p*ss out of our manager? We are expected to concede the most goals?



Oh, please say that again... and to those Chelsea and Palace fans mocking us - we haven't forgotten you either.

 

[Hugo Rune]

BBC website gossip a bit behind but I’m liking us being mentioned alongside those other two clubs……and Spurs.

 

[Lethargic]

So showing my ignorance but how good is he? Forgetting the Barcelona tax how does he compare to say Joao Pedro?

Don't go spoiling a sobering post with facts

It is not exciting until I see the photoshoot on the website!

Jesus whatever happens from here can't you just enjoy the fact that we're at least on the cusp of signing one of the most well known and highly rated young players in the world on loan from BARCELONA??

This is some sort of fever dream isn’t it. The last 20odd years are just a dream and I’m going to wake up tomorrow and find out it’s still 12th December 1999 and this is just the result of watching Brighton lose to Rochdale in the pissing rain.
