Salida a la vista de Valentín Barco en el Sevilla - Estadio Deportivo

El Brighton dispone de la opción de romper la cesión de forma unilateral ante la ausencia de protagonismo del 'Colo' y no se descarta ningún escenario, aunque, de momento, existe silencio sobre dicha posibilidad

Yes - the loan is not successful - but I think the mischievous Palarse suggestion originated on NSC rather than a Spanish source!

Certainly I think we should recall him. I wouldn't mind loaning him to Palarse, but maybe a lower league would be better for his development. Alternatively, we have two excellent LBs in the U21 squad who could well benefit from half a season playing in the second or third tier - maybe arrange that for them and have Barco learning some of the elements of his game that are missing for us in PL2?

According the NSC FB page, we can unilaterally recall him in January. We obviously will as he has got such little game time.

In terms of a Premier League loan for the rest of the season, Palace are crying out for a decent left wing back. Would we?

Wash your mouth out.

Given how much work, skill and manpower goes into arranging loans, it’s surprising how many don’t work out that well. (As is the case with other clubs too).

You say that (and I'm certainly not going to argue that Albion don't take the loan system stuff seriously) but I was actually surprised by an interview Gordon Greer gave a couple of years ago in relation to a tool called TransferRoom (which, incidentally, I believe former Albion player Charlie Harris is involved with).

Clubs can submit their needs for players and other clubs can try to match up players wanting a loan. It sounds like the loaning of Aaron Connolly to Italy happened in the space of a few hours, which just seems remarkably haphazard:-

E-Bay?

Maybe not on the pitch with Ayari, but SOMETHING happened to him while he was away because he is like a different player!

Absolutely. Kid realised if he didn't buck his ideas up he'd have to spend the rest of his life in Coventry or Blackburn. Now that's motivation...

So’s Buonanotte. Sometimes, just having the opportunity to be a regular starter is enough for some players.

Personally, I got the feeling based on his some of his scouting reports from Boca Jnrs and the Argentinian teams, Barco is still emotionally immature in many ways and needed to be in a very structured development environment combined with a lot of discipline - he’s still an U21 youth team player imo - while he has the skills and talent to play top flight, I think he lacks some of the emotional maturity required for the intensity and highly competitive environment of senior squads.

A Championship loan may therefore suit him better at this stage of his career.
