Stand Or Fall
Doesn’t the last sentence read that Brighton were not interested in a loan?

[Albion] Enciso is such a ray of sunshine.... not

I had to do some fact-checking but both Atlanta (Georgia) and Atalanta (Italy) are named after Atalanta of classical origins. She agreed to marry anyone who could beat her in a race. Nobody did (they were all killed for failing) until one bright spark diverted her during the race by throwing golden apples in front of her. They married but were later turned into lions for some infringement or another.No, wrong team. Assuming you mean Almiron - Atlanta FC () are buying him and Atalanta BC (
) are interested in Julio.
Wow. Interesting if that's the case.
I'm thinking like this:
1. Julio Enciso is not a guy who says "The Championship" if you ask him "where do you see yourself in a years time?"
2. Clubs relegated from the PL often immediately want to cut a bit of costs... a £40m PL player won't do much.
IF a deal with Ipswich is indeed happening, I would imagine it looks something like this:
Julio Enciso extends his contract with Brighton for another year. Ipswich loans the player until the end of the season. If they stay up, they are obliged to buy the player for a set fee (higher than we'd get now but lower than we would get if he turns out massively successful). If they go down all parties get out of this commitment.
I think he's going to be a very good player unless his attitude trips him up. And it had once already probably.

That's how I read it too. We weren't interested in loaning him out to a club from another country. Basically we wanted another PL club so he gets game time and more experience and development in the league we are playing in.

Ipswich will announce signing in next 24 hours or so.
What's his best position?

Very much number 10. Extremely talented, but hasn't done it for us since being out with an injury for several months at the start of last season. Many claim that it's all too much about him -- which might be the case. Not sure his work rate is intense enough for FH.
He could be a worldie. I suspect he won't.

As an impact sub He’s pretty good leaking team news from the bench via the Paraguayan media
Probably best as a 10 or a LW when he plays.
The classic big man little man with Delap maybe?

It doesn't matter, he'll shoot wherever he is.

Very talented but probably closer maturity wise to 95% of 20 year olds rather than AliMac, Tariq, Dunk, Moder, Goodnight, Solly etc at 20 
For that reason, I'd love to keep him and see what he matures into, but football is a big money business now

I think it's just about the perfect loan. Shouldn't affect us in the table, he gets good competitive game time in the PL, might inflict some damage on some competitors and we will get an idea of whether he has what it takes.

No contract extension?
The Paraguayan media were saying he wouldn't sign a new contract because he doesn't want to stay at the club/there is a broken relationship. Assume he'll be sold in the Summer unless he has a change of heart.
Bizarre we are literally the friendliest club around. When you hear this sh1t you know he's gonna fail everywhere. Will be interesting to see.

Fine. Gets him game time. Re-assess in the summer.
