All the outlets seemed to quite clearly state that there wasn't any add ons when the deal was signed in August. Brighton covering 80% of Ansu's wages, no fees.
I can’t imagine his work here is going to add much money into his fee
Be honest, if it wasn't for the Barca connection, Ansu Fati would have caused about as much of a ripple based purely on his performances in the Stripes as, say, Jeremy Sarmiento or Deniz Undav
This. Seems far more likely to have been a gamble on the player kicking on in his rehabilitation from injury and making a major contribution to propelling us into the business end of multiple competitions. Ultimately didn't work out, but worth the imaginative punt shirley?
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 2 goals in 300 games at that age.
This, and at the end of the day, let us be honest, we do not need him, we are not pushing for Europe and he rather hinders the team when he plays.
Agree. Was starting to look very good until the injury. Unfortunately that seems to have effectively ended the opportunity for him and us.
Yeah. If the club don't want to use him – and he knows the deal (if that even IS the situation) – then send him back to Barca now!
Bye bye Fati, Fati bye byeeeee.
I'm with you, actually.It’s a weird one but if RDZ wants to keep him and it’s workable then I am IN! I may be pretty much alone on this though
Yep, that's possible. It's almost the opposite of last year where he had a love-in with Colwill (which he couldn't seem to shake off this season because he kept bringing him up!).
