I don’t think you can do it with both full backs because the other one needs to be the third in back 3. It worked with Hinshelwood as Igor or Pervis would fill in as the third. The only way it might work is if Baleba played that role he did earlier in the season, was it Brentford home, where he...

Clearly got that from watching old videos of Nathan Jones.

I imagine he’s already trying to book an appointment with Astar Tattoos.

There is no flexibility to name anyone else on the A List squad, the deadline to name the squad for the second half of the season was 2nd Feb. Rules allowed us to add up to 3 players, we added Moder and Enciso and delisted Dahoud. This took us to the limit of 25 so to name Barco we'd have had to...

This. Game plan, RDZ ball etc were out of the window by then. Dunk and JPVH were thrown up front. What we saw from Barco last night was exciting and promising, but it shows no real insight to how ready he is to start a game where his understanding of how we play, where he’s expected to be, what...

Yes I know. That's why i said in the normal process, acknowledging that this transfer hasn't followed the standard procedure.

There has to be concrete job offer (or in football terms a contract/transfer agreed) before a work permit can be applied for. We will have been sorting it as soon as the transfer was confirmed but he possibly hasn’t got it yet. He’ll have to visit a British Embassy to collect the...

The B list is for players under 21. However Barco isn’t eligible as players have to have been at a club for a minimum of 2 years before they qualify. That’s why players like Facundo and Enciso are named in the A list squad despite still being U21s.

There is a time and a place, unfortunately it won't be happening in Dublin as Barco wasn't named in the Europa League squad. FA Cup Final it is then.

The game is being played in Venezuela so I think an 8pm kick off there is midnight our time as they are 4 hours behind (Argentina is 3 hours behind the UK).

I was quoting your post to make the point about Alexis. The rest of my post was what I though would happen it had nothing to do with what you had posted, I actually acknowledged several others had made the same point. This board isn't your own personal soap box. You don't need to point out every...

Mac Allister had to go out on loan because he didn't qualify for a work permit. He was signed pre-brexit when it was a lot harder to get players in from South American countries. The changes to the points system and the promotion of competitions like the Copa Libertadores to be the same level as...

PSG and Neymar's lawyers paid the money directly to Barcelona. Normally in Spain the buying club or a legal representative of the player pays the money to La Liga who then pay the club when the player informs them of his wish to activate the release clause and the agreement over personal terms...

We will have paid the money to Barco for him to then pay the release clause. This is so Boca can avoid various taxes etc as previously mentioned. I believe in Spain it’s the other way around. A club pays the money directly to the league or to the other club to enable the player to trigger the...

And still didn’t make any of Garth Crooks teams of the week.

You mean the last 48 hours camped outside The Montefiore Hospital ready to get the exclusive have been for nothing. PBOBE out.

I guess it depends on how fit we expect Lamptey to be for the rest of the season. Lallana’s experience, knowledge and leadership could be vital from the bench to see out a game. I didn’t realise ALs only mins in the Europa League came in the home game against Marseille, but I believe he was...

Jack was named in the A list Europa League squad for the first half of the season, he would have been one of the club trained players, so can't be added to replace March. We can only add three players and at the moment you'd assume those 3 to be Enciso, Moder and Barco. We'd need to remove two...

There won’t be a bidding war. Clubs only have to offer the release clause and it becomes up to the player. There is no point clubs pushing up their bids above the release clause as it holds no sway, the club is legally bound to inform the player of all bids that match the release clause. The...

Not saying anything he’s saying is true, but our recruitment team and higher management team like Barber are unlikely to be in Dubai. We aren’t going to hold up recruitment because the first team squad have gone for some warm weather training. The Olympic qualifiers don’t start for another 12...
