I can’t see how signing Fati doesn’t impact the Johnson deal.

I appreciate the information given but it makes no sense.
With now only League until January it’s overkill.

would be hugely surprised if there is not as was told Spurs informed Mendes of this.
I cannot imagine Spurs would sanction to loan a player without an option to buy at the end of the loan period. We're not a feeder club to help train up other teams' players.

The only risk with the option is that the player himself decides he wants to go back to Barca. Fati was a wonderkid and if he rediscovers his mojo playing with us, then Barca could convince him that his future is back with them.

Yeah, an obligation if certain conditions are met might be the best solution for us.

In which case we get him for a season for the cost of a loan fee.

I'm excited by this one.

If you're paying 50m for Johnson and a season long loan for Fati with an option then I'd say the only risk is Johnson.
I like Ange squad building style in that he wants different types of players but it does make it very difficult for us fans to know how he plans to use players

Mendes involved - those who track these things will know he can't be trusted. He's burned us many times, most recently I believe with Diaz and Liverpool.

If it ends up just being a loan with no option we’re basically Mendes bitch.

Danjuma all over again

Would much, much prefer Fati on loan with an option, personally.

He's the type of player you really want to test drive in the Prem first before you pay mega money given his injury record and the much more physical nature of the league.

He's got potential to be great but he's exactly the type of signing that could be a hugely expensive turkey.

I agree
I meant to say with no permanent option

so probably makes it hard for the opposition as well
