He does? Oh Sh1te - somebody tell him he's not in charge of recruitment! - and we don't want Dahoud back either!

If you can't (or don't want to) see that Sanchez was well and truly pissed off, I can't help you.

Yes, I've since read about Webster being injured. Never any suggestion abut de Zerbi falling out with Evan though.

Fati not coming back next season. https://www.sport.es/es/noticias/barca/problema-ansu-brighton-renovara-cesion-100658245

Me too. I'm not sure that Barco and Fati are in the same boat, but I don't suppose Adam Webster is too chuffed with life at the moment - Nowhere near the first team squad for ages - and I don't think he's injured, is he? Agreed that a manager needs to be in control, be the 'top dog' and all...

It's still £7M pretty much wasted as it stands - not eye-watering? Maybe not in PL La-la-land economics - but he'll have to go like a f***ing rocket in the next eight matches to have any chance of making the loan a worthwhile investment! ........................... and if RDZ decides he's not...

Getting his wages off the books (or most of them anyway) was 'working well for Barcelona'! It was a good deal for them! Yes, it would have been even better fr them (and hugely better for us!) if he'd torn the PL a new one; that hasn't happened, but it's still benefitted Barcelona - just not as...

"Our responsibility is to help him to improve his performances, to improve his physical condition, to improve his mentality" - yes: for Barcelona. With just eight matches to go the experiment in borrowing a player for £7M (however it was paid) to improve our team is well and truly over. Waste...

HE's been let down? F*** me, that's one hell of a lot of pushing back reality in once sentence!

But only if there were plenty of other employers happy to pay a similar rate (I presume you meant employers).

I don't see why either - but elite footballers and their agents don't think the same way as normal people.

My point was more about Barca wanting to off-load him than Everton wanting him! I'm not sure they would want him either! He's one of the ones I'm interested to see what happens when they run down their contract and become unemployed. They won't need money, that's for sure, but how much will...

"Surplus to requirements" at Barcelona. Off to Everton? https://www.teamtalk.com/news/barcelona-offer-everton-four-players-in-swap-deal-for-80m-star-man-utd-arsenal-hopes

Pay attention! Post #2618 informs us that there was no loan fee. Yeh, right! :lolol:

Nothing to do with that. Question is what will happen when his contract runs out.

Guess he will rub down his contract at Barca - probably out on loan. Can't see anyone paying what Barca want for him, let alone matching his current wages. What happens then will be interesting - he'll be unemployed on £0 per week. Of course, he won't ever need to kick a ball or work again -...

Not unless he takes a huge wage cut, I would hope.

He couldn't help being injured, of course, but overall he has been pretty underwhelming. I'd heard that he was an expensive loan, but reading those numbers in Naylor's article leaves me thinking, Wow! - definitely not worth it. Frankly, I'd send him back and save a few million quid if we could!

Probably worth offering to take him for another season on loan, but on financial terms less favourable to Barca - after all, they'll be wanting him in the shop window, and the Albion is a good place for that.

Oh great! Another Albion player who can't have a couple of week's rest and recuperation!
