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

[Krafty]

The plane has currently started the crossing of the English Channel - the time of arrival at Biggin Hill is around 15:30 BST

It seems like it will be heading over Sussex, so you may spot it.

They need the cash they’d save on wages - also despite those appearances, they were mainly minutes and non-starters - since his devastating injuries, he’s slipped down in the pecking order - he needs the regular starts he would get on loan to a lower La Liega club or PL club (like us!)

They need to get his wages off their books. They want Cancelo and João Felix and can't currently because of the tight rules out there. Also just space in the squad in general.
And he played in lot of games last year but rarely started. Suggestion is his game has developed slightly since the injuries so he needs more game time understanding the way his body works and perhaps learning a slightly different position.

They need him off the wage bill as they want to sign Cancelo. La Liga rules only allow a certain amount spent on wages.

Great, thanks chaps

Tracker update please someone, surely he is the channel or nearing it now.

Have you tried Tipex ?

You can’t erase your mistakes that way.

Hang on…

This would be great if it wasn't chucking it down with low clouds

Yeah essentially this. Takes wages off Barca's wage bill so they can sign Cancelo and gives us a year developing further a player who was tipped to be the next Messi at only 16. He's still only 20. When he goes back he won't be directly competing with us, unlike Colwill is (unless we get to the Champions League )

Shit - looks like he's going to PSG.













Hopefully the plane will turn left again soon.

I know this goes against the grain of the average NSC user (and their age!) but the kids love the CL and prefer it to the domestic cup competitions.

Fair enough, I enjoy much of the KO bit myself but the group stages tend to be dull. Man City or Real Madrid can lose a game and you just shrug as you know it really doesn’t matter. I’d love it to be a KO from the start, as it used to be. The group stages are essentially a cash generator for the clubs and TV companies. After that phase, yes it’s definitely more exciting.

Robert De Zerbi's calling, talking Italian.....

That HAS to be a chant.

 

[RandyWanger]

Wonder if Pep put in a good word for us

Wonder if Pep put in a good word for us

Does he really want to assist a title rival?

“It was ultimately Roberto De Zerbi who managed to convince the player, though, with Sport saying the phone call with the Italian ‘changed everything’. That’s backed up by Marca, who say the Italian managed to convince the player and his family.”

Player taking 1pm flight to sign for Brighton - Entourage spotted at airport - Sport Witness

Barcelona’s Ansu Fati is flying to London alongside his father and the rest of his entourage at 1pm (Central European Time) before travelling to Brighton and Hove Albion to complete his move there. That’s according to Jijantes, who have footage of Ibrahima Fati and Santi Lotta travelling from...

“His new team will be Brighton & Hove Albion, a destination that surprises at first (some of his suitors were teams like Tottenham, who was on pole) but that has been the decision of Ansu and his family, convinced that they can resurface under the command of Roberto De Zerbi.

The Italian's call was key for the Spanish international to opt for the sixth place club in the Premier League last season. “

I'm thinking we should probably keep De Zerbi for a while longer

If we don't want a Super League style break away, and I appreciate some fans would be happy to lose some of those clubs, then it is the only way. Understand it's not for everyone but for people like me who love European football and prefer it to domestic stuff, those early games are great.

Prepare for it to get even more overblown and long winded with the incoming changes though!

Currently off Eastbourne and headed east. I gave him a wave.

It seems like the pilot is trying to avoid flying over Brighton.

No risks taken, he doesn't want a repeat of that Leeds incident

Currently the 8th most tracked flight globally on Flight Radar BTW

Top effort, chaps
