Ansu Fati

[Hazelton]

Massive shame but any deal had to have an option to buy, he'd be an investment rather than a guaranteed difference maker and we shouldn't be putting players in the shop window. Gutted though, he would've been an exciting signing. Maybe one for next year if he does well on loan at Brighton.

 

[jpascavitz]

Some horrible takes in here.

You take the gamble on him like the lot up the road did with Odegaard. He's 20 years old, a generational talent, and produced 14 G/A in 20 90s worth of minutes last season.

It actually makes it worse to me that Brighton want him. If we got gazumped on a loan fee by Chelsea or some club with no strategy - that's one thing.

When trying to go for a rebuild, you need to take some risks.

 

[dirtyh]

Mendes is a slug. No surprise. Prob wanted additional fees or some other bs option. Not sure why we ever go near him tbh

 

[JUSTINSIGNAL]

Be interesting to see if we end moving for Johan Bakayoko now or just stick with Johnson.

 

[talkshowhost86]

Farce

Or whatever is below farce to be honest

 

[DiVaio]

It really shows how awful Spanish journalists are.

 

[Gpnash84]

Fuck this, I’m off to make an undesirable and unacceptable offer to my Mrs

 

[spursfan77]

Still need a striker and a centre back and 6 players out the club. So nothing has changed from this point yesterday.

 

[felmani26]

Also can we please stop affiliating ourselves with that uber twat Mendes?!?

 

[0-Tibsy-0]

In the last 5 years we have gone from a title challenge and then a CL final to falling behind Brighton in the pecking order.

Its embarrassing.

Paul Barber please come back so Levy can get away from the football side.

 

[kieranfitchett]

Not actually that bothered he’s not coming but it does give quite the insight into the seemingly scattergun approach to this window

 

[nedley]

If its Johnson on a permanent over Fati on a loan with no option then it should be well received

But but but....

Both apparently....

 

[dirtyh]

What a wasted call from ange that turned out to be

probably got through to the local kebab shop

 

[sidford]

Still need a striker and a centre back and 6 players out the club. So nothing has changed from this point yesterday.

Except we have lost a day so only 2 days left. Been a great 24 hours for the club

 

[sundanceyid10]

What the hell is going on

Brighton are strengthening, don’t worry it’s all good. We have plenty of depth in our squad as last night showed.

 

[L-man]

Kind of mad this was all so close and everything pointed to a done deal and then Levy seemingly u-turns on such a fundamental aspect of the deal

 

[CanadaSpurs]

Would be more okay if we had other options but at this point in the window my hopes aren’t high.

 

[King of the Lane]

Lets not forget we sold Kane, have left deals to the last minute AGAIN, we still need a CF, RWF and a CB and we have just wasted days on a deal to see it collapse last minute. I dont understand how people cant see that as embarrassing.

 

[Klinsmannesque]

Barca said no option, we said fuck you, and Brighton swooped in. Nothing embarrassing in that.

Surely you know early on the conditions of the deal and if an option is viable not after all the work has gone in

 

[offside_ruel_fox]

What am I meant to do with all those ‘Hey I’m with Fati ’ t-shirts!?
