We are famously secretive with our contracts (internal and 3rd party) it feels to me like we have a commitment to include him in the squad when fit but we are trying to avoid an additional payment milestone or god forbid a commitment to buy based on games played!! I'm miles off probably but...
I’m finding it a bit weird that Fati is getting literally zero minutes, even from the bench. He’s been fit enough and on our bench for weeks now.
I wonder if there is some contract milestone that would trigger a payment for BHA if he plays another game?
There was a rumour doing the rounds at Palace away that Evan had been caught drinking on a day when he shouldn’t have been. I’d stress it was fan talk and I hope it was bollocks. He doesn’t look fit to me and hasn’t all season.
I'm not sure that this has 'worked out well for Barcelona' at all. Yes they got a % of his wages off their books but I'd imagine that they were hoping that he would get back to full fitness/ form, with another club having done the work, and:
1) They would get a ~$100m elite player back into...
I meant once fit Solly walks back in at the expense of Adringa, who IMO has been quite poor since Afcon, although to be fair I think he is our 3rd choice winger when Mitoma and March are fit.
I don't see Fati as a winger.
I thought he was getting better and better before the injury. It’s not his fault the stupid money that Barcelona threw at him as a teenager. He’s clearly still not 100% fit.
He’s contributed just as much over the last few games as Adringa IMO, who seems to be getting away with being pretty...
I thought Adringa was miles more effective/dangerous when he moved to the left in the last 15 mins. Fati moved central and also looked more at home. Sadly the only sub who really did FA when he came on was Evan :(
