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

[Muzzman]

I think I’d get a fatty if we got Fati.

Er……..Barcelona want a development loan and then they’ll take him back. Name me a better club for that please?

One that’ll pay his wages (200k a week* allegedly)

Would by far eclipse Vicente as our most ridiculous signing.

 

[The Fits]

Interesting signing for them..if they get Johnson too they're going to do way better than I expected. Top four challengers perhaps. He HAS to be an upgrade on Richarlison.

Who had re-tweeted it from an account of 33k followers who had sat thinking how to get a crazed Twitter reaction and made the whole thing up.

Mundo Deportivo is widely-read sports paper based in Barcelona. Ferran Martínez is a journalist who writes for them.

I don't get why anyone thinks what Barber was talking about is anything other merchandise related. Why would he hint at a transfer that hadn't happened?

It's August 30th. Folk will believe anything.

The Daily Mail sports pages are among the most widely read in the world.

Spanish football press is probably even more unreliable than ours.

You were suggesting "some bloke" on Twitter invented it, presumably not knowing he's a journalist for a publication that specialises in Barcelona news.

Doesn't mean it's true but it's not some teenage wannabe making rumours in his bedroom.

 

[Wellesley]

Joining Spurs.

Fati bastard.

Kudas - very strongly linked beaten by West Ham
Palmer - strongly linked beaten by Chelsea
Ansu Fati - linked briefly beaten by Spurs

Difficult to know how much there ever was in any of them but if the rumours are true it seems we are really keen on another attacking option. Would be frustrating and worrying for us and RDZ if we can’t get anything over the line. I always think our best hope is to try and get a deal done before it becomes public as we will so often be gazumped.

Tricky though with all those pesky agents leaking our interest to Romano to try and flush out other interest.

I agree that it's very likely we're looking for a new forward player and would, in theory, be willing to seriously splash the cash

[The Fits]

Well, well, well...

 

[The Fits]

No idea where he would play but what an incredible statement of intent this would be. Quite simply the biggest signing we've ever made if we pull it off.

 

[larus]

Supposedly it’s a done deal to Spurs. (Based on nothing more than X rumours).

 

[Farehamseagull]

Kin hell!!!

 

[Hugo Rune]

Well, well, well...

Three holes in the ground.

Said it was a development loan, no way we were getting him on a perm. Too many loons on here thinking we were going to buy him - cloud cuckoo land I tell ya.

Hopefully he gets some minutes at the weekend!
