In fairness a run of a few games has seen Baleba excel maybe a run of a few games would have seen Fati excel. How was he ever going to get used to this league on the bench?

To be fair, I'm not too fussed if De Zerbi gets into arguments with players who've not done anything while they've been here and won't be seen ever again after the end of the season anyway.
Maybe we should get somebody really shit in on a loan deal just for him to vent at occasionally.

He had a strop at the end of the Forest game and was in the face of one of the backroom staff and had to be pushed away and not really been seen since.

Some signings work out, some don't.
Thankfully this one is just a 1 season loan. Disappointed - Yes. Was it worth a punt? Probably.

If itās true and heās had a bust up canāt we send him back and save ourselves half a million quid in wages?
RDZās comments about him being sensitive and needing to improve suggest there may be something behind the scenes. Such a shame as I was so excited when he signed. Truly thought he was going to be one of our best and weād be disappointed we couldnāt keep him. But maybe this reinforces why we donāt buy ābigā names. Too expensive for poor return with alleged questionable attitudes.

Hope he enjoys PL2 for the next couple of months until itās time to get rid

Put him in the curry
I'm going for the slight knock scenario option to take a wild uneducated guess at the reasoning why he's not been playing,I know that's just a boring punt but stranger things have happened.

Even Naylor reporting itās not worked out and unlikely to feature a]much again.

He was brought in as cover for the injured Enciso. It suited us, as we feared Enciso could be out for the whole season, it suited Barcelona, who couldnāt afford to carry passengers and wanted to get him back to match fitness on somebody elseās dime. It suited Fati, as he was likely to get guaranteed game time.
This was his chance to show he was the player the hype suggested he was. I can only speak for myself, but Iāve only seen glimpses of quality from Fati since his arrival, which hasnāt really helped us, or his parent club, or him.
Thankfully the main headache is Barcelonaās, as they likely have to somehow offload him off their wage bill to be able to register new signings. Iād suspect the achievable price for him is now a lot lower than the figures Barcelona would have sought prior to the loan taking place.
A shame all round, but only one person bears the responsibility, and thatās the player himself. For whatever reason (could be still carrying injury, could be attitude, could be self-belief, or work rate) this hasnāt really worked out. The player has been given the opportunity, but not really taken it. It speaks volumes that the moment Encisoās fit again, Fati doesnāt even make the squad.
The new Messi? Youāre having a laugh.

Has RDZ lost his way ( and temper ) a bit....? Or are all these rumours just that....rumours....?

RDZ won't pick him if he isn't
A fall guy?Dunno, he started with Trossard, moved on to Sanchez, then fell out with Dahoud and now Fati is in the firing line. Maybe he likes to have a fall guy to keep the rest onside
You think that Tossard dicking about in training was by RDZ's design?
You think that Sanchez sulking in Pizzaland was by RDZ's design?
You appear to have invested in him super-powers beyond imagining

Trossard no (but a different manager may have been kinder to him), Sanchez yes (but we've been over this one on here before). So we don't need to discuss any furtherA fall guy?

I think I was just light-heartedly pointing out that RDZ seems to have publicly fallen out with more players in one year than I can remember the cumulative body of Brighton managers falling out with for many many years now. So maybe he likes that.

Thereās a strong correlation between length of thread/amount of excitement on NSC and how poor the player turns out to be. Jahanbaksch and Fati. If Calleri ever signs heās going to be really crap.
