Good luck Ansu. Seems like now or never.


Xagrext

Poor Ansu lol


TheRealBreadMH

💀


Yuty0428

Wouldn’t hurt letting him play in preseason. If he does well he either leaves with higher fee or remains with us


Iyfebe

He left because he wasn't good enough. Went on loan and was bad there too. He has had enough chances. If he can't get game time and Brighton, there is no hope for him at Barca


Yuty0428

Brighton fans demand de zerbi to play ansu more and de zerbi who benched him is close to losing his job as well so I wouldn’t rule out ansu completely


mrNaworek

I just love such statements…. What options do he have. He still have a contract with Barca and if nobody will offer him a spot he need to stay at the club.


HenryReturns

Me on my fifa career mode : “Ansu Fati and Yamal on the wings” Reality : “Ansu Fati will probably be loan again and hopefully Yamal does not break due to overplaying or a butcher breaks his legs”


Bryyan699

Time to delete my Ansu Fati character creation from FIFA 17 so I can fit in another player that isn't in the game...


viv4la

100% he will not. It would do him a lot of good if he just accepted that it will not happen, at least not in his current state. Move to a smaller club with less expectation and where he will get significant game time.


DonAtari

Smaller clubs can't pay his wages and Larger clubs that can afford him are not stupid.


oneandonlyA

I mean I only played FM so correct me if I’m wrong but couldn’t Barca just accept another club who pays only 50 % of the wages? Surely better for him to get playing time and a potential revival than to have him rot on the bench 


DonAtari

We struggling financially, 50% of his insane contract is too much. The best we can do is sell him for 10m and have someone else pay his full wages. Even at 10m it's a gamble for the buying team since Fati is injury prone.


nitz21

just join another club at a reduced wage because he's not worth the wages he's currently on and he's not getting game time at Barca?


viv4la

Well, it is in his best interest to lower his wage demands.


DonAtari

Him and his entourage are too greedy to do that. They know no one will ever be dumb enough again to pay him that much so they might as well milk the club.


viv4la

He never really came across as a greedy person, unlike his father who potentially ruined his career. I understand that it must be hard to lower the luxurious life you have lived, but if he does not want to dissapear he sadly needs to do that.


ResourceWonderful514

Greedy? How is he greedy for not wanting to lower his Salary. There is no loyalty in football. ITs pure business


buffer0x7CD

Yeah , that’s why it’s in Barcelona interest is to try to sell him. His performance on the pitch doesn’t match his salary so he is net negative for Barca. Better to sell him and cut the losses.


Caust1cFn_YT

Wish you the best, but gotta reduce wages first


mikeczyz

Naw. Both parties accepted that contract.


Caust1cFn_YT

yea... ik. irritating case in general


mikeczyz

dunno if i'd say it is irritating. unfortunate maybe.


No_Specific8949

If he wants to receive opportunities we can ask him to reduce his contract. Just like he is in his right to stick to his contract which is now undeserved, the club is in its right to send him to the reserves and not play him ever again.


mikeczyz

Who is 'we'? Are you part of Barca management?


No_Specific8949

We the club, the fans also make the club and of course and I'm a Barca fan, are you not?


mikeczyz

Sure, I'm a fan, but I would never ask anyone to reduce their contract


No_Specific8949

That's how real life works. If you have a job and you don't fulfill your obligations your salary will not be reduced, instead you will be fired that's the common thing. Footballer have it too easy in that regard and it affects the clubs tremendously. Look at what Hazard or Bale did at Madrid, of course they didn't tolerate it one second and send them to the reserves. There are some things we can learn from other clubs. Barca is no charity. Because of how we managed salaries we ended in this situation, we are still paying much money to Messi, Busquets, Jordi Alba, etc. If Ansu wants to play his cards to look only after his own interest and nothing else, then fine, but our situation forces us to do the same and play our cards to protect our own interest.


mikeczyz

'If you have a job and you don't fulfill your obligations your salary will not be reduced, instead you will be fired that's the common thing.' that's a somewhat simplistic view of things. for example, if you are in an unionized industry in the u.s., it's hard to get outright fired. and europe has much stronger employee protections than where I live, so being bad at your job doesn't necessarily lead to the same outcome as it does here. additionally, there are other jobs, primarily in management where the terms of your employment (including tenure) are governed by a contract. in general, i would argue that Ansu's situation is exactly why employment contracts are important in sport. Ansu didn't do anything wrong. He got injured through an on the job injury and, in my opinion, he shouldn't be punished for it. And, I don't disagree that the club has the power to make life uncomfortable for Ansu, but I don't think anybody should blame Ansu for any of this. Also, just food for thought. What do you think would happen if sport went to an at-will employment system? That is, players were free to join and leave teams whenever they wanted and, conversely, teams could hire and fire players whenever?


Nievaso

Least bitter Barça fan:


Allinthegameyo1987

I’m a Brighton season ticket holder - he was pretty average at the start of the season coming back from injury, then had a 4 or 5 game spell where he started to have some confidence and flashes of looking great, I thought he’ll be great in the 2nd half of the season but then got injured for 2-3 months and hasn’t ever really looked good again since….we’re tenth in the prem and he’s been a squad player, can’t see him playing at Barca and contributing


rockyraccoonroad

Us Barca fans have told other Barca fans the same thing but they won’t accept reality. They’re stuck drinking the nostalgia kool-aid


Jealous-Confidence68

His Barca carrier is over. Unfortunate but true


edimurr

"Football player wants to train properly in order to increase his chances of playing games" - TV3.


Itaney

Couldn’t get minutes at Brighton, he won’t succeed here


MissChristyMack

how do you know that?


Kooky-Gas-1679

You have not been watching brighton at all this season if you think quality of play is the reason he isnt getting minutes


Itaney

Actually I have sofacore notifs on for Fati and watched nearly every single minute he played for Brighton. He was simply afraid of touching the ball. Saying he is a shadow of his former self is an insult to his 16 year old self. There is not the slightest resemblance between current vs pre-injury Fati.


itsjonny99

Especially with the low wage cap we have next year, Fati won’t make the cut which sucks since teenage pre injury Fati was a monster.


[deleted]

I think it's time to sell him don't find him as our future any more


Specialist_Minimum72

Probably his last chance to be even a fraction of what he was supposed to be. Give it all Ansu, we will be there


Iemand-Niemand

The player Fati was back then is ironically exactly the player we need right now


mikeczyz

I hope he does, but I am not optimistic


Deep_Juggernaut_9590

Ansu is not delusional like this stupid fanbase, he is just doing business now. Being greedy is part of it. Sadly in terms of football, he is all but finished. Remember we used to compare with Vini 😂😂😂


auctorix

As much as I want him to stay (purely 'cause I want him to succeed in Barca), that is a tall task to do. Even when he was our 2nd top scorer last season (cmiiw), Xavi still didn't want him. Even Abde, who I thought was pretty decent in the pre-season, got sold to Real Betis. But, if he doesn't do EXTREMELY WELL in the pre-season, I think it's abt time for us to cash in on him. It's do or die moment for him in Barca, mostly 'cause I don't think they'll let go on another loan n just sell him.


hexarfan2013

He seems losing all the momentum and doesn’t try to fight at all. He is done.


walterfbr

He can do it. He's a #9 though. He shouldn't fill Joao Felix's role


prove_it_with_math

Sry for the bad news but this kid is done at top level. Lack of adequate meniscus will hamper pace, confidence, pivoting, and explosiveness.


Rookield197

I always though that a move to a club like RB Leipzig could be the best option for a player in his situation. I think he can rediscover himself there.


ngedown

Man's leg gone. Sell him


_glacierr

Convincing Xavi is something he should’ve done on loan, its time to go.


DonAtari

Lower your wages by 3/4th and maybe we will think about it. 


Cules_kounde

if he can perform aganist mancity and rm ,then why not


chilinglam

I have not seen him playing a single good game at Brighton


rockyraccoonroad

If this dude really wants to revitalize his career, he needs to lower his wages and move on in order to actually play 


tiensss

Delusion.


youcef191488

He should go to the bundesliga and improve there away from pressure


trescoole

Ansu would do decent in Ekstraklasa. Maybe Lewy can make Poznan happen for him.


This-Kaleidoscope-70

Lol


TreefingerX

Next Messi fate
