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

[Robinjakarta]

Easy jet ?
That’ll impress him.

Especially according to Flightradar, it's scheduled to leave 2.5 hours late at 14:40.

You have to remember that La Marca are a Real Madrid paper. (I think?)

No it was in mundo deportivo which is the main Barca sports paper I believe. Article just released.

Not a fan then ha ha !

He’s not alone.

We’re one of the most talked about and interesting clubs in the world and yet our club reporter for the biggest sports media platform is just so incredibly weak. He never breaks a story or finds out any info that isn’t already out there and his articles are a guaranteed cure for insomnia. Other Athletic journalists cover Brighton better - they should be getting someone stronger in to cover us now.

Think it depends on how much champions league you watch. I don't turn it on often and although i have heard the name before I've needed some reminding, I didn't expect this to be a thread about a Barcelona player when I opened it. My excitement about him is purely based on everyone else's excitement!

'The next big thing before the injuries' - everyone is glossing over this. I'm thinking Tariq Lamptey before and after his injury, feels like everyone is dreaming for the former but we're going to get the latter.

He made 51 appearances last season in all competitions (many as sub). Not exactly a sick note.

Who's that man from Barcelona?
Who's that man we all adore (for one season)?
Ansu Fati is his name
And he scores a goal a game
Now we won't mention Chelsea anymore (YEAH RIGHT!)

along the right lines and something that the crowd may sing for a change

 

[Publius Ovidius]

I cannot believe this at all.

 

[jamie (not that one)]

Wait, have we made it as a big club now?

A loan is absolutely perfect for a player with his injury record and honestly... WHAT. A. SIGNING.

That's 11pm yesterday. The other article suggests he was still mulling this over with family at 3am.....


Should become clear very soon

Don't like the fact he is up at 3am when he has a game against Newcastle on Saturday. Sounds like trouble to me.

 

[jamie (not that one)]

From a marketing/commercial perspective, this deal is genius. Sign a famous wonderkid on loan, Europe wakes up to us actually existing and it opens doors for other players to be more willing to join us. Could be a great deal for everyone involved if things go well.

 

[Nobby Cybergoat]

Why are we signing these fancy dan foreigners? Why not sign a PROVEN English player like McTominay

I was up at 4am after coming home smashed from a nightclub in ibiza. 3 hours sleep and I couldn't resist refreshing constantly. No work or game for me for a few days though

Probably BFFs with Connolly

My Spanish colleague (Real Madrid Fan) contacted me this morning, as he had just seen the news in Spain.

He said that "most people in Spain think Brighton are a great move for him as they are seen as top Premier Legue team, who play great football"

After 2-3 hours crammed into an Easyjet seat i'd be surprised if he can walk yet alone kick a football.

I haven't waded through all 29 pages of this thread, but here in Spain La Marca are in absolutely no doubt it's going to happen. They've already mocked him up in our shirt: https://www.marca.com/futbol/barcelona/2023/08/30/64ef1df822601dd02d8b45b3.html

I was intrigued by the snippet that RDZ sits fourth in the UEFA ranking of coaches: who knew there was such a thing? (at least, I think that's what it says, my Spanish is a bit rusty). I certainly didn't.

We really are in the big time now

Aren't you getting a bit old for that kind of thing now sir?

Definitely !!!

Another forward? If he comes (IF) does this limit Ferguson's game time - and could there be implications there?

Why? He’s 18 and we’ve got between 50 and 60 games to play this season in all likelihood, we should be limiting his game time.

Long way to travel from Barcelona to Sevilla just to get on a plane……. No flights incoming from Barca scheduled

Seemingly he's with his family in Seville.
