I don't think that is true at all. He's 21 and scored 4 goals for us in what, 11 appearances for us before his injury? Twice in the Europa league. Then hasn't been the same since. If he was an academy graduate I think we'd all have been very excited about him- we all got excited about Connolly's...

Why put him in the squad then? Just all feels a bit odd.

We were 2-0 down at Bournemouth with 15 mins to go and we bought on 2 defenders and left Fati on the bench. I'm with you, it makes no sense at all.

I wondered something similar. It's pointless being in the squad at the moment, we've clearly given up on him for whatever reason.

Especially when there were plenty of other employees happy to pay a similar rate.

I rate Sarmiento, but that is nonsense. Don't remember Sarmiento scoring against Ajax.

Would you be saying that if he was a 'normal' 21 year old, do you think? He's scored a few decent goals for us and was starting to look very at home at this level before he got injured. If he had come through our academy I think we'd all be very excited about him. It's his history that makes him...

I think this is right. If we'd signed him for £4 million from Almeria or someone and were paying him £15K a week I think we'd all see him as an exciting prospect who has had a reasonably good season.

Is Fati the new NSC scapegoat now? I think he's done OK for us. Scored a few goals and looked a reasonable Premier League forward. Anyone expecting him to come here and tear up the Premier League would have surely asked themselves why Barcelona would be prepared to let him do that? Let's see...

You're suggesting he can't do it on a Tuesday night in Wolverhampton in February?

His 'days' aren't that often though now. Teams double and even triple up on him, and there are very few players in the world who can cope with that. It would be a shame to lose him but he is 27 in May, he's approaching 'now or never' territory for his move to a massive club. Not many really big...

I think so. But when has any club ever actually done a swap deal?

This was my reaction when I saw it. Then I remembered how f***ing freezing I was when I walked the dog this morning. Then I wondered what that would feel like if I was born in Guinea-Bissau, and then spent half my life in Barcelona. It must be the equivalent of it being about -30c for us. I'm...

SIGNED.

Wait until you start watching the Europa League this year!

Aren't you getting a bit old for that kind of thing now sir?

Don't like the fact he is up at 3am when he has a game against Newcastle on Saturday. Sounds like trouble to me.
