The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 18th July

[Scot-Spur]

Re the meniscus I’d be amazed if he’d had it removed as if a surgeon carried out such surgery in most of the developed world they would likely be struck off. It’s much more likely the meniscus was partially trimmed as the full removal is a practice that ceased happening many years ago.

Anyway are the ITK, Is this guy any good?

There is a TIFO video on him, he had post op inflammation on it then had a part removed IIRC.

He then had another injury which they thought was from compensating with the other leg. Big gamble.

A loan with option could be good for Ansu but my main concern is the number of non homegrown. Whether we can take up a space with such a gamble I dont know. We seem to be largely linked to non homegrown players atm and we're still a good number above.

 

[Led Revolver]

Ansu fati is on our radar ! I would imagine project replace Kane with a few others

Ansu Fati… no thanks. If it was Raphinha, then we can start talking but that’s wishful thinking at the moment.

Thanks for the info as ever, WLB.

I'm sure the relevant medical people will be consulted. Seems like a case of balancing risk and reward as I would imagine we've been given rough probabilities of a few scenarios playing out. Based off that if we were sure he'd be a dud we wouldn't do it.

I think you could argue he might still be worth a punt, if he can't play 90 mins and can't get over his issues we will have Kulu ahead of him anyway. Club might be thinking 50% chance he's worth £10m in 2 years and 50% he's worth £150m +.

That's the other reason Fati doesn't make sense. He very much plays from the left where we already have Son and Solomon.

What we want is someone who is comfortable on the right (it's ok if they can also play left too) and a real explosive 1 on 1 dribbler.

Best reason to sign Fati is so we can use "You're the One for me, Fatty" by the Smiths as a chant.

You're the one for me, Fati
You're the one I really really love

 

[Tractorspur]

Prefer the Bad Manners song

Ansu Fati
Oh Ansu Fati
Fati’s ready!

[Albertbarich]

The best sort of signing. One we have never heard of.

Obviously he is a more talented cross between Messi and Batistuta
