[Albion] Valentín Barco **Season Loan To Sevilla 23/08/24**

[albionalex]

If we thought the Undav saga was painful, imagine Barco has a wonderful season at Sevilla.

As a young Argentine with limited English, do we really think little old Brighton has more draw than multiple Europa League champions and Spanish giants Sevilla? He'll be pushing to stay on there, that's my worry about this.

They wouldn't be able to pay him what we can.

 

[Brovion]

That's the number for Albion information every day, 24 hours a day.

"The Albion LOST ........ (their highly-rated Argentinian fullback when he went on loan to a big Spanish club, was a huge success and decided to stay there)"

 

[Shaktarman]

Can’t believe people are moaning about this - he’s not quite up to it yet and this is the model we tend to follow! Would’ve gone on loan in Jan if we didn’t have an injury crisis - same with Facu. Good move.

 

[Clive Walker]

I’m not happy about this either.

He’s was the shining light amongst the dross at the end of last season.
He’s a full Argentina international
Full of pedigree
Can develop here
Will no doubt get game time considering our injury issues at full back.

Bad decision.

Not quite up to it? What planet are you on? He's exceptionally talented. The bloke should be playing every game IMO.

Just imagine if Bloom, Barber and Weir had had those thoughts and reached a different conclusion

Can't really defend very well yet.
Could have been carded on several occasions away to Bournemouth when he led with his elbow in a number of aerial challenges.
Someone else gets to give one of our players game time that he won't be guaranteed here if/when Estupinan is fit.

Although I agree that it's a slightly strange move.

 

[Wozza]

He's rough around the edges.

I think we now want finished articles on the pitch - to get to Europe.

It's a sign of progress imo.

I’ve read people saying his defending isn’t up to it yet but what I’ve seen is very different. He’s a tenacious terrier that doesn’t pander to anyone.
Each to their own but imho his defending is fine

Most sensible thing i've heard on this so far.

 

[Gully Forever]

We won't achieve anything if we become the training ground for Arse,Manure,Chavski,Scouserpools of the world to snap them up when they are ready.

From memory watch the Bournemouth & Man Utd games again end of last season

 

[Rookie]

Disappointed if he does go out on loan especially if it is to Spain.
Would have thought a loan to a club in England would have been better, continue to learn the lingo and get to grips with the more physical side.

He’s made mistakes for sure but so has Dunky, Mitoma and Welbeck etc. I’m not going to hold a few silly mistakes against a guy with immense talent. No-one is perfect.

Either we all take a few hours off to watch two Albion defeats from the gloomy fag end of Roberto’s reign, or perhaps you could repackage your point somewhat?

He made quite a few in a small amount of games. Absolutely a talent but would benefit from making those mistakes elsewhere not in a European chasing team.

Rather get some more experience in ourselves than relying to much on youth like we had to do to much last season

If we hadn’t reached europe for the first time, achieved our highest ever league position, consolidated our position in the premier league and reinvested a lot of the money we’ve made following the model you don’t like, then you’d have a point

 

[Shaktarman]

One where I’m allowed an opinion

Didn’t say he wasn’t talented - he’s just a bit lightweight at the moment and not ready to be a regular premier league starter in a mid table side for me yet

 

[Solid at the back]

Haven't read the last 10 pages or so, but is this a loan to buy or just a loan?

 

[Frankworthington]

He not coming back!
