In theory I wouldn't be against him staying another season too, but in practice not sure.Just remember how long it took Lamptey to get back on form. Plenty on here were very happy for him to be transferred out at the end of last season and the beginning of this one as they had written him off in the same way as Fati is now being written off. Having faith in your body not to fail again after a nasty long term injury takes time and games. Sadly we don’t really have the time to get Fati up to his previous level. I wouldn’t be against him staying here another season.
Some of the figures I've seen bandied about were 7m loan fee? And wages well north of 7 figures?
If either of those are true I'd suggest he isn't good value for money, and accepting his previous injury I still reckon his overall performance levels are short of what the club and player had hoped?
If Ansu gets back to something resembling his best, then yes another year if possible, if its something broadly similar to now come seasons end, then the cost outweighs the risk he may come good in time.
