I'd prefer Jeremy but still hope Fati comes good. Not worth the money either way.
This criticism of A F is what I garnered from RZB’s response to Johnny Cantor’s question on the pre match press conference, RZB remarked how he expects maximum effort in every match and also every training session, not 80% or 20% prior to a game. What I found quite damning was Roberto’s final remark when he said he (RDZ) had only one problem
Clearly talented, but perhaps not in the PL.
His best games have been Europe IMO, where you get more space.
In the PL it is faster and more physical, and at the moment he is struggling.
However, that said we have to be mindful that he is coming back from injury, and the context behind his loan, which of course is to get fitter following a quite serious knee injury.

Get rid.

You have to question why a lightweight player coming back from injury would choose/be chosen to play in a faster and more physical league....
Anyways, a few Europa League goals and all can be forgiven!

Did RDZ actually name AF? Why would he play someone only giving 20%?
On a different tack, are you off to Rome? If so, have a brilliant time. I'm sure you will
Of course I am. And I was there today.On a different tack, are you off to Rome? If so, have a brilliant time. I'm sure you will
I can totally see why RDZ wanted him. He’s been schooled on possession football and flair and systemic football since he was a small child. However, he came with a huge injury risk.
The latest one hasn’t been kind to him and he’s playing like he doesn’t want another one, rather than he wants to give 100%
I said to my son in the second half that Fati’s at risk of being that player who was world class at 16 and playing for Peterborough at 25.

Your comment about him playing like he doesn’t want to get another injury absolutely sums it up for me.
I’m gutted it hasn’t worked out for him here, but if he was consistently in-form and consistently fit then he’d never have been an option to come here.
It was a gamble that I was very keen on at the time, so I have to swallow the fact that it’s not worked.

Thank god it was only a loan and we didn’t drop silly money on him.
The question JC raised was only about AF, listen to the last segment of the presser when JC came on.
In Rome! Well done
(I was trying to be nice so I let it go).Agreed, I'd like to see the quote from Bloom rather than third hand hearsay.

I can't comment on "Bloom didn't want him".
However, his signing was certainly very unusual for Albion (from a financial perspective). The reporting at the time stated that RDZ called Fati five times to persuade him to come. Bloom himself made it clear how influential RDZ had been in the player signing for Albion - see this post for details.

Think you'll find we paid a sizeable loan fee and a percentage of his six figure wages !
