well the other poster was insinuating that the spanish FA was luring (or stealing) him away from Guinea Bissau and you seem to agree with him.
Anssumane Fati
- Thread starter Mighty Boosh
- Start date

He doesn't need to play a full game. He's already played official youth competitions while not holding Spanish citizenship. He isn't eligible for Spain.
Fati actually won it while playing up a year & Moukuko won it playing up 2 years
Going to YouTube Moukuko now..
Well.....
He doesn't turn 15 until November & has 10 goals in 5 games for the U19s this seasonGoing to YouTube Moukuko now..
Moukuko is the lad with all the age doping controversy?
Burak Ince? Was Incey putting it about then?
Burak Ince has a goal and assist so far this season in 117 minutes of Turkish second division senior football at 15 years old. His most recent game sounded like a thriller. Came on at half 1-0 up with the opposition missing two penalties. He then scored one and assisted one to win 4-1 while the opposition got a red card. What a terrible day to be a Eskisehirspor supporter. His club also have a 16 year old CB who has played the full 90 in every match so far this season.
First time watching him and I know it's against Dortmund but christ does he give the ball away a lot. Commentators saying comparisons with Messi aren't unrealistic and I just don't see it.
Comparing any player to Messi is idiocy. He’s 16 so the pressure of the game is probably getting to him, he looked nervous the minutes I watched.
He plays absolutely nothing like Messi, pundits need to get more creative with their comparisons.
Apparently his nationalization will be approved in the next days, to send him later to the U17 World Cup.
He's a bit like that Fulham kid. Sessegnon. Same thing. Not there yet.
What an incredible talent this kid looks. Amazing debut for Spain tonight.
Wins a penalty with a great bit of skill. Scores an absolute belter. Has a bicycle kick saved off the line. Not a bad debut! He's so rapid and skilful. Surely Barca have to rebuild their future around this kid. Big pressure though.

Crazily good at such young age.
Real shame, hope he recovers well
He and Kimmich in the same weekend. The football gods spare no one
What's the latest on this kid? Is he still recovering? Such a shame we couldn't witness him for Spain, I think he would have added an extra edge to their attack.
2-3 knee injuries already right? I fear we will never see him reach his potential
I fear that too.
Pedri and Fati would be a frightening future for Barca
He has started training with the team this preseason. So, he seems to have recovered. Let's hope he is fine.
Still too early to say if his career as a Top player is over before it began. Messi had similar problems in 2003-2007.
Scored on his return after 10 months out.
But more importantly for Barca it looked like he hadn't missed a beat.
Looked fast and sharp.
Barca badly need this talented youngster to perform in order to be competitive this season.

United will always keep an eye for him. Have been and will keep doing it. He's special.
Scored another brilliant goal today vs Valencia.
Some finishing he has.

What's the situation with him?
If I'm not mistaken he's been injury free for quite a while now but still seems to start on the bench mainly. I haven't seen too much of Barca this season but when I do, Raphinha looks rather erratic and Torres pretty average. Talentwise I'd say he should make their starting eleven.
Did he have a few setbacks? Are they just cautious with him? Or is he still finding his form?

He's regressed somewhat, not good enough to start games anymore.
Would be a shame if the injuries ruined him to a degree that Raphinha and Torres are better players than him. Hope he just needs a bit of time then.
He's injured again
They are, he's just... not good at all overall. A little burst there and then but since he's back, he's just the shadow of the potential he used to be. Totally anonymous.
The injuries just might have taken a toll on him because he's been awful now that he's injury free. His finishing is one key strength but its looking less likely he'll make it at Barca.
Unfortunately that seems to be the case, he's just not the player he once was.
imo he struggles playing the winger role in the way Xavi imagines it. Dembele is perfect for it but Ansu suffers the same way Ferran does and Raphinha.. less said the better.
When Ansu broke onto the scene, he wasn't really a speedster or a dribbler, more of a clutch finisher with great instincts for his age. Since then though, bad injuries, returning rusty (obviously) and then given the #10 gave him an ego. I still believe in him despite many Barca fans now getting fed up, a loan would do him good but we are very light at LW.
Difficult to really gauge his potential pre and post injury, I don't think he had the superstar potential like Pedri for example but it will be a great tragedy if the injury really has finished him.
In all fairness though, his finishing wasn't sustainable. In his breakthrough season he was at prime Messi levels of conversion, it's obvious he was overperforming.
His real level was somewhere between then and now.
Not been good whenever I've watched him.
Unfortunately, I think those injuries ruined him.

He'll end up in a midtable team in la Liga in a few years. Injuries have fecked up his career. It's a shame because he looked impressive 2 seasons ago. He seems to have lost a yard of pace and isn't shinning anymore whenever given the chance.
