Our options are phenomenal when everyone’s fit, especially with the extra experience others have gained during the injury crisis. We’re up there with the very top clubs in terms of potential game changers from the bench.

I reckon he can love it here without any expectation from most that he will stay. I think everyone knows the deal if he starts playing at anything like his full potential.

God knows what people expect from Fati. He showed at Old Trafford that he’s got a great touch, cracking pass and a turn of speed. Last night glimpses of that again but it was a tough time in a below par team performance playing through the middle - by common consent not his best position. He’s...

Let’s hope so.

For what it’s worth, this was the BBC take at 0844: “The player flew to the UK yesterday and it is understood a deal is now in place for the 20-year-old to join Brighton, with only some minor details to iron out”

Just the last details to finalise so they’re sticking him in the Royal Albion overnight. Quick bacon roll meal deal at Greggs first thing, sign the contract, then back on the Easyjet to pick up his boots.

Well, at least it seems everyone has forgotten that we’ve not got enough right-backs :wink:

I'm with you. That's pretty much what I was pointing out. We don't know but it won't be a bad deal.

And we have got LOADS of games. Everyone will be needed.

Sounds good. Not so far off the £6m i guessed at this morning.

If so, they’ve changed it. Still says £260,000 on the version of the story I’m seeing. Not sure how you can be so certain about £200k unless you negotiated his contract. Either way, I imagine that includes a large chunk of bonuses we won’t be getting involved with so it’ll be a bearable figure...

Agreed. The question mark isn't really over his fitness to get out there and play. It's whether he can ever attain the levels he was hitting before a nasty knee injury and complex recovery. Even if he can't, we probably(!) have a lower level of expectation of our players than Barcelona fans and...

Selling 6 of them to pay his wages?

It's Fatty. Pleasingly enough.

Bad news for you. Boehly heard Fati is available and acted immediately. He’s made a £150m bid for James Corden. *Yeah, yeah, i know, he’s lost a lot of weight… nobody’s fat any more..

And maybe we like players that aren’t focussed on their next move before they even arrive. Don’t think Fati’s motivation would be in doubt. If he comes to us, it’s because he really wants and needs to show what he can do.

Ferguson’s a more natural replacement for Welbeck than a partner. Here’s a 3 week spell in September if you’re really worried we won’t keep everyone happy: Thursday - Europa League - possibly abroad & arriving back early hours Friday Sunday - Bournemouth (H) 3 days later - Chelsea (A) 3 days...

Interesting line in Ornstein’s missive… slightly of the ‘well, they would say they, wouldn’t they?’ variety. But it does indicate there’s no real threat from Spurs: “Tottenham, meanwhile, were never in negotiations for Fati, with head coach Ange Postecoglou keen for a different type of forward”

Exactly this. People slag off Naylor for not jumping on the bandwagon when he’s simply waiting for some facts to report. He can be seen as a bit of a club mouthpiece but that doesn’t really matter In broader terms for the Athletic as they can publish the externally sourced information through...

Bloody hope not. Im just round the corner. If he steps out of the car in this weather, he’ll be back to Seville in a shot…
