Yes, I imagine giving 'fitness ' as the reason was more palatable,(,to all concerned) than the actual reason. Just my guess though.

Thanks... I'd missed those posts 👍. Five phone calls, blimey ... Ansu didn't bite his hand off then 😏

Agreed, I'd like to see the quote from Bloom rather than third hand hearsay.

Agree, except maybe 60 or 70% rather than 90. It'll be hard or impossible for him to reach close to potential here against most of the PL teams. Have we noticed how he frequently gets taken out of the game? He'll play a last second touch pass (as we do, frequently) and the defender hareing down...

If the year goes well, I'm hopeful we'll bid to his buyout clause...🤣 "Fati, who was born in Guinea-Bissau but chose to represent Spain and was part of their World Cup squad last year, signed a new contract with Barcelona in 2021 to run until 2027 which included a 1bn euro buyout clause."...

Xavi could stay as assistant 😉

Wow...Wiltshire hills are Baltic today ❄️

Our PR dept now has its work cut out to explain that the 12C today is not a typical late Summer temperature here

Yes, and very likely more game time here than he looks like getting in Barca. Plus, for the lad and Barca, a close look at the PL and possibly putting him in the shop window with the club (us) that's pretty much the most talked about at the moment...cue a thumping defeat to Toon 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Maybe...but perhaps having a good relationship between our 2 clubs will be beneficial to both over time

BBC verify says it's us 😎
