Any idea why he didn’t come on today? Full rest in the international break and still can’t get a sniff, looking like money well spent.

Sounds like Barca is very pleased that Fati is with us.
And it’s not them paying his wages!
It probably doesn’t hurt to keep Barca on side - I still think he could come good and another season with us where Barca cover at least 75% of his wages would be fine by me. However, if RDZ leaves in the summer, he may take Fatso with him.
They are paying his wages. We just paid a loan fee to Barca of £7M or whatever it is
Saving him to start Wednesday I’d imagine
Only if RDZ goes to Barca

Not necessarily- if RDZ goes to another EPL Club, Fati would follow if called, there are Clubs interested in both of them - Fati only came to Brighton to work with RDZ - and Roberto has great faith in him. Barca won’t want Fati back - he is too far down the pecking order now - I’m pretty sure too, Roberto doesn’t have the experience for Barca and would prefer an Italian side if he went back to Europe.Only if RDZ goes to Barca
(not sure Barca can afford him anyway and are looking elsewhere https://www.mundodeportivo.com/futb...1002217525/tecnicos-baja-bolsa-azulgrana.html)
Some idle gossip for you
Liverpool could pursue transfer of Premier League attacker if this manager takes over
Liverpool fans may be interested to see that Brighton manager Roberto De Zerbi would be eager to work with Ansu Fati again at his next club.

No, sorry but you are wrong - they are not, at least we are paying the bulk of his wages amounting to around £160,00 per week. That is was the £7m loan ‘fee’ was for. Barca could not afford to keep paying Fati’s wages while he was playing so little - they needed to send him out on loan so another club would take on his salary, get him up to pre-meniscus injury condition so they could sell him at the end of the season.
It was all widely reported at the time
“Brighton & Hove Albion have signed Ansu Fati from Barcelona on a season-long loan.
The 20-year-old forward travelled for a medical on Thursday before completing the move.
Brighton will cover almost the entirety of the salary in the region of £160,000 per week.”
” Fati takes home £160,000 per week (gross) at Brighton, per Capology. It makes him the highest-paid player at Brighton. The Spaniard earns almost twice what Brighton's second-highest earner, Adam Lallana, earns at £90,000 per week (gross).”
Ansu Fati's salary at Brighton unveiled – it's more than any player his age earns in England

Yes, but we aren’t paying his wages. I.e he’s not on our payroll

We are covering his salary - that means we are paying his wages. You are now arguing semantics because you were incorrect. I’m not going to argue the point - by any reasonable interpretation Brighton are paying Fati £160,000 per week - I don’t know whose frickin bank account it’s coming out of - perhaps it is a loan account held in trust, or we are paying £160,000 to Barca each week it really doesn’t matter - we are covering the bulk of his salary that is why the loan fee is astronomical cf to one we would normally agree to !
“The young Spaniard is currently on 200,000-a-week in Catalonia, meaning Brighton will pay £160,000-a-week for his services this season. Over the course of ten months, Barcelona are set to save £6.4m on Fati's wages, a mightily welcome pot of cash for a club in financial turmoil.”

We're in the pipe, 5 by 5
Glad he didn't come on. There was so much persistent fouling (by both teams) because play was often in tight, congested areas that he really wouldn't have fancied it, imo.
Chill - I’m just saying we paid Barca a single fee to cover whatever , fees, loan fee, anything else.We are covering his salary - that means we are paying his wages.

Terrific. Marquee signing who’s meant to be better then anything we’ve got, can’t even play ten minutes when chasing the game before he might play 90 minutes 3 days later.
Waste of money.

I am chill - you said we weren’t paying his wages, Barca was - completely contradicting something I had said without reason, so I corrected you and you pushed back with a semantic argument even when I posted numerous links to back up what I had originally said. Now you agree that we are covering the bulk of his salary to the amount of £160,000 per week so all is good - because that is what everyone (apart from you it seems) understands by ‘we are paying his nearly all his wages not Barca’
.Btw his wages that we are paying, amount to 10 months contract so a total amount of £6.4m - nearly the whole loan and it is very unlikely to have been paid as a total lump sum amount in advance but over the contract period.

No need to apologise
