Yeah I've thought Kulusevski would end up as a number 10 ever since we signed him. I think he could be very effective there.

CB needs to be the priority. Can worry about wingers after.
Oooh. That's him and Moretto both saying we're in for him, feels like this could be the Johnson alternative

Yes he is the Barca equivalent of Ornstein with Arsenal.
Feels like there is a lot of momentum with this tonight.
Loan may suit all parties.

I'm hesitant as I don't think he has the passing ability to play there.

Not alternative. Fati on the left, Johnson on the right.
But then who leaves?

The kid’s knee is fine. It’s not like he blew out the whole thing and had it restructured. He had a meniscus tear/rupture which they attempted to repair. The repair failed and they removed the damaged part of his meniscus. It’s a very common sports injury. Had it happen to myself while teenager playing basketball. The major concerns are years down the road when older and arthritis kicks in because you have no cartilage and you are bone on bone in areas. You do tend to get sore after workouts and physical activity but your speed and explosiveness are not at all impacted after recovery.

This suggests that it might be a clean loan with no option/obligation.
To be honest though even if its a loan with an option, I feel that that's a bit of a pointless endeavour because if he's successful then Barca will want him back and there's no way that Fati would turn that opportunity down for us.
PS: Apologies for posting aggregator, but it was from a twitch stream so no other source to post.

Damn I completely forgot about Gil for a moment! Yeah he will be 100% going if Fati comes. Also Fati isn’t much bigger then Gil physical so no idea how he adapts to the PL.
Re Edwards seeing as both play RW, if there is even slight truth in that rumours I’m sure it’s as an alternative/back up to Johnson.
For what it’s worth I think I’d actually be more excited by Fati then Johnson because at one point he was one of the biggest young prospect in the world. The kid literally had the world at his feet and he’s still only 20. But since his injury…. Idk. Mentally I’m just as worried as I am about his physical change. The gambler in me thinks let’s role the dice but the realist thinks it will be a massive failure. There is a certain excitement tho because i remember watching him when he first started playing. At 16/17 he was essentially carrying the Barca team for a while. Crazy.
Personally I’d still swap Fati and Johnson for Williams but that’s not helpful and not realistic.

I’d be surprised if a player could get out of a loan/option arrangement. Otherwise what’s the point.
Loan with no option would be really weird from us. Doing the hard work on his fitness for Barca/another club.

We love a winger don't we
And yet we still don’t seem to be signing a proper 1 on 1 specialist winger, it’s infuriating haha.

Potentially Lo Celso goes the other way on loan? Who knows.

Barca want to insert a buyback clause that won’t happen with levy. They’re open to a sale with a loan . Gio could sweeten the deal . But right now hoping to reach an agreement on loan aswell as securing the club with a say if he does well option/obligation.
