Would he be worth a place in our squad going forward? Possibly - probably yes if he can recover his form at his previous club before his injury (a big if).

Would he be worth shattering our wage structure, and completely re-modelling the way the club is run? No.

Isn’t Mitoma on or near enough the same amount we are paying for him?

No where near the £150k Fati gets

Depends. if keeps RDZ for at least another season, then I’m happy with that especially as he showed a lot of promise at first and only has just come back from injury.

Has this thread come about because RDZ has said recently he wants him for next season? I heard that today.

Has been linked with Everton which is the kiss of death, really. End of the line. Big no from me.

Rather pooh-poohed on the Ansu Fati singed on loan main thread though.



Wages, innit..........................

It was reliably reported, when Fati joined us, that we were paying 80% of his salary, which worked out to 160k per week, for ten months (Sep 2023 to June 2024), resulting in a cost to Albion of 7million.

Excited when we got him, but it’s a no from me now.

Will see what he produces for the rest of the season.
He started to come good then got injured.

Depends what other irons are in the fire. If we have the funds and using them to have Fati doesn't stop us getting a hot prospect in on contract, I would like the chance to see him get his form back, here, with us. Would be frustrating to see him smashing it somewhere else.

Yes if wages aren’t astronomical.

It was also reliably reported that we are not paying his salary direct.

I know it’s trivial but we have paid Barcelona £7m (or so) for his loan, we have not paid Fati a penny. They pay him. He is their player.

Thus, our salary structure remains controlled, prudent and firmly in the bottom 6 of the EPL.

No thanks. Haven't seen anything that makes him stand out compared to what we have and he's been injured half the time!

He’s had about as much impact in his loan spell as Chuba Akpom. So I think you can tell that that’s a no.

Lallana haters here claim he’s on huge wages.

I’m a fan of Lallana and he’s been our highest earner for years - Fati aside.

Not entirely sure if he is anymore, but it’s pretty common knowledge that has been the case for the majority of his time at the Albion.

FWIW, I’d love to have Fati back, we have the money, it’s not a ridiculous outlay when someone like Reis Nelson is the alternative on £100k a week currently and with a £30m fee.
