There is only one scenario here in which we've totally blown it: Brennan Johnson has a huge year at Forest and is worth a lot more than 50M next summer.
I am extremely skeptical that will be the case. Extremely.

They have lost confidence in him. If we offered 75m I reckon they would sell as it is a loan is good for us as I think he is brokenYou guys are nuts if you don't think there's a pretty significant likelihood Barca will be willing to sell Fati to us at the end of the year.
Nah about the same age
I don’t know but do we get a trophy for winning?
Why wouldn't Barca want an option?
Either they want to keep him?
Or they think they'd get a better fee if he plays well.
Didn't Lenglet come on a straight loan? Seems like it's just Barca's style.
Doesn't sound like Levy to not at least have some kind of terms laid out to buy at the end.
A spanner to my plan
I only see it as a disappointing signing if he is the only signing we make between now and the end of the window.
If we get him, Johnson AND a centre back. Well, I'll not only be surprised but I'd be quite amazed and rather happy. Fuck Ndombele, Lloris, Dier and the rest of the failures off and even better.
That would be useful but it would suck to do the development for this player only to lose him and have to replace both him and Perisic next summer.That just depends on what happens next summer.
If we got Fati in for e year and he helps us achieve what we want, he's succeeded.
Then we go and get BASE client Eze in next summer when he has a year left on his contract. Win.
I wonder what Ange's plans are for him. We have too many left wingers as it is, and he doesn't fit the profile of an Ange winger, and from what I understand he's not really a striker either.

You are asking all the wrong questions
The one and only one you should be asking is why are Barcelona looking rid of him
That's really the only thing that makes sense, unless we terminate Perisic's contract. But then we're blocking Veliz's development.I actually think he'd be a great #9 in Ange's system. He has good movement and he's an elite finisher tbh.
He's a lot better technically than Richy.
I’d take this kid for 40 over Johnson for 50. He’s still green obviously but I think the potential upside is much higher.
or loan with an option - we can still send him back or buy for a set price - bizarre this needed explaining

Because they have FFP and Spanish FA problems with the size of their squad.
They need/want to sign Cancelo and a CM but can't unless they get bodies out the door.
Fati is one of the very few with any interest.
You think we are struggling to get Tanguy out with his wages.
Imagine the wages their cunts are on and they also get to live it up in Barcelona.
