Clearly has done enough to earn his stripes for next season - I prefer Igor in as CB - he’s a better blocker than he is at advancing play. Barco looking like he‘s loving his first Premier League experiences - and has a great attitude…. His passing accuracy is impressive and he made some...

RDZ doesn’t agree “It was Valentin’s first game and he was the best player in the pitch but he made mistakes for two goals. The young players playing with this bravery will be a crucial part of the future for Brighton.” In other words - We have to give these young lads opportunity to play - of...

Doubt that was what it was about. Barco doesn’t need to be tapped up to Citeh - they ‘apparently’ were in direct serious talks with Boca Jnrs for months (as far back as last August) about signing him - Pep will know Barco quite well personally because Citeh dealt with Barco and his agents...

I thought Barco played an impressive starting debut tonight. He was energetic and committed to driving the game forward even when he was playing LB - some forgivable but costly mistakes one of which was complicit in us conceding but when you have the top team in the world’s forwards bearing down...

He really needs to give his wardrobe a wobble - or am I just getting old and hate the retro 70s look - it’s so ugggh 😎

I agree with all this and in bold: - This is one of the reasons I put forward as Ferguson’s dry run of goals this season - Mackie very much was that midfield transition forward-driving player that regularly passed to Ferguson and implemented De Zerbi’s preference to attack through the central...

Not ‘over sceptical’ but bordering on conspiracy theories and fanciful narratives perhaps. 😉 Barco is a 19 year old kid used to playing South America football - and Argentina may be one of the best teams in the world and Boca a top flight club but De Zerbi ball it ain’t. He probably barely...

Exactly what I need to cheer me up on an international break with no EPL 😍 UTA!

You edited you post after I posted saying basically that (otherwise I wouldn’t have posted!) but yes, strange and also incredible to see Alexis, Facundo and Valentin all in the same Argentinian side. Honestly, it is a testament to how far we have come that the youngsters we have coming into...

And making an impact too and looking very confident - struggling against defenders a little bit though. Good to see Facundo and Alexis in there too - Come on BHA, 9 more Argentinian singings and we could field the entire Argentinian side with current and ex-Albion players :ascarf:

Barco will get a chance - today wasn’t the right time. Each time you bring a youngster off the bench for minutes, you are using a sub opportunity that may be needed elsewhere depending how the match is playing out and other individual players are faring. Perhaps cut Pervis some slack, he was...

You not heard of winkle pickers? Too young? Very stylish :lol: https://www.facebook.com/densonshoes/posts/very-strong-denson-winklepicker-boots-1961-posted-a-while-back-by-sceneinbetween/2083660578459751/

Glad he’s been to Reis, Tommy Hilfiger or somewhere - now looking more like a EPL star at least not a kid from the barrios. He’s got ‘trouble’ written all over him this one hasn’t he? :lol:

Yaaay! Another Mackie on our hands hopefully - two players in the current Argentinian squad up there with Athlètico and Spurs. I am very chuffed for Buonanotte too - he absolutely deserves it. A low key comp maybe but any opportunity to play with them, increases the chance of being named in...

I think we probably missed Gilmour against Wolves - his vertical play to our forwards at times is brilliant. Sometimes ‘possession’ is just that - it doesn’t necessarily take us forward as we know. I do like the idea though that Barco and Hinsh are attack-minded - I wonder if having players...

I realised Stat was joking about booing, didn’t actually realise it was a thing tbh - however, it was this comment I was referring to in your quote of me Sounded like a direct question in response to my earlier posts remarking on his potential …we have more than enough fans on NSC all to...

Good enough for what? I’m still confused! If you are saying he is not good enough for 10-20 minutes of EPL football then why did RDZ assign him to the first team. He has to start somewhere and having minutes off the bench is it. All I have said above is I’m sold on his potential, that he...

Why would anyone boo him at Fulham? - (I know you’re obviously posting in jest but I’m not seeing it?!)

It’s exciting we have a young player with that flexibility but I would really love him to develop into a preferred role rather than just playing where we need him because he can (if that makes sense). It’s like Hinsh - before he was injured, he was proving a great cover for Veltman, especially...

A good background piece from Tim Vickery, especially on where Barco will fit in … https://www.premierleague.com/news/3897084 I compared Barco to Hinsh after our game at Wolves, not so much because of style but because neither player is a traditional L/RB - they both are multi-positional, very...
