    [Albion] Valentín Barco **Signed 20/01/24**

    I haven't made any comment about his technical abilities - just his apparent physical condition. He collapsed, exhausted, at the end of the game on Wednesday; it wasn't what I expected to see from a 19-year-old after one half of football.

    I was amazed at that. He'd only come on as a substitute at half-time. A few weeks ago he and Fati were left out of the matchday squad at Brentford and RDZ stated "I wanted them to work alone to improve their physical condition." Doesn't augur well - the kid is only bloody 19, he should have...

    I think a more relevant question is:- Has he been sent off yet?

    [Albion] Valentín Barco **Signed 20/01/24**

    There IS a clear answer - he hasn't been included in the necessary squad list.

    If RDZ thinks he's not yet ready, I can only assume the Italian wants to coach him out of delivering a quick ball into the box. One touch and then a dangerous ball into the penalty area - we looked more threatening than we had all game. Our problem isn't fannying around at the back, it's...

    Barco himself told ESPN on January 15 that he was already an Albion player, and Albion announced his signing on January 20. I believe the Premier League states that the work permit has to be applied for before the window closes. I would think there is a pretty good chance the work permit has...

    [Albion] Valentín Barco **Signed 20/01/24**

    The B list is for younger players (a little bit similar to the U-21s list in the Premier League, but there are significant differences). Simplified - a player has to have been with Albion for at least two years in order to qualify for the B list, so Barco can't be named on there. And of course...

    The deadline for the changes was February 2.

    My streaming TV provider (Fubo TV) has the match at 4pm (my time) on Sunday which would, indeed, be 11pm UK time.

    [Albion] Valentín Barco **Signed 20/01/24**

    Deliberately jeopardising his own country's hopes of glory just so he can jump on the plane to help out De Zerbi and co - I like it. That's the type of fiery, ginger-haired Argentinian I can get behind. None of this winning the tournament and missing key Albion games that we saw from that Mac...

    The commentator in the 57th minute: "Valentin Barco is running the show in the second half for Argentina...."

    ...from which they score to take the lead.

    Has just been fouled for a penalty to the Argies.

    Somebody wanted him to come on at half-time on Monday! :lol:

    Barco in the starting line-up again for the Argentinian U-23s against Peru this afternoon.

    Shall we just agree to never post one of his Xs on here ever again and deny him the publicity he obviously craves?

    Do we? I thought some on here believe him to be ITK?
