Oh FFS. I suppose if he's now fully recovered then it's not that much different to a pre-season. At least it's in virtually the same time zone. Paris is nearer to Brighton than it is to Manchester!!

It almost certainly rules him out of Everton though, he needs to get to know the new management set up and vice versa.

Pro football should NOT be an Olympic sport.

 

[Nobby Cybergoat]

So he's back before the season starts, that isn't the issue

It's more, he's playing competitive football, while the rest of our squad are playing warm up football. All the other players will be having their workload carefully managed with a view to Brighton first team football. Enciso will be played as and when his country needs him, likely in all the games.

I should say, I think it's a selling point for prospective talent that we don't stand in players way when they want to play for their countries and we should continue to do it. But Olympic football is proper Mickey Mouse

 

[Mancgull]

I think that the Olympics for Paraguay and for Julio is maybe a bigger thing than for an Argentinian say, where they have just won the Copa Americas.
Plus I doubt he would start for us for the first game or two of the season. Still a bit surprised but assume that Julio is pretty vital to Paraguay’s chances.

 

[Springal]

I’m sure he will remember this when he throws in the inevitable transfer request in January / next summer

The men's football tournament runs until August 9.

Could be back earlier if Paraguay don't progress.

 

[pigmanovich]

Could be back earlier if Paraguay don't progress.

We may well be counting on it! Decent minutes but he returns to Lancing in good time.

 

[Hiheidi]

 

[Mancgull]

Could be back earlier if Paraguay don't progress.

Which, let’s face it, is the likely scenario.

 

[Mancgull]

Doesn’t he mean ‘Thank Tony, it happened’. Or is it the same thing?

 

[schmunk]

Paris is nearer to Brighton than it is to Manchester!!

Yes, Manchester is much further from Paris than Brighton is.

Playing for your national team is nothing like a pre season, yes he may be fit but we have a new manager with a totally different playing style, pre season will be about the squad learning what the manager requires, Ensisco will be way off it.

It is what it is. He will have to wait his time for a first team place.

 

[saafend_seagull]

Can’t see him breaking into first 11 now. Should have chosen club considering he’s just had the copa especially now a new manager.

Fortunately we have plenty in his position !

 

[CHAPPERS]

Good for him, hope he scores a worldie in the final.

 

[¡Cereal Killer!]

Good luck to him. Yes, I would rather him be at Brighton, but it isn't every day you get the opportunity to represent your country at an Olympics and it obviously seems important to him to push it.

Do yourself and your country proud, don't get injured and come back and give it your all for us.

 

[Wozza]

Understand it from his point of view, but he struggled last season and still has a lot to prove in the Premier League.

Luckily (less so for him), we have several alternatives next season.

 

[Baldseagull]

Whilst I think football at the Olympics unnecessary, there is usually only one time in a players career that they might get the chance, so if he wants to go, I am glad we have let him.
