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

[chrisg]

Seems strange, after chasing him for so long , buy him and change your mind !

 

[Hiheidi]

Off to Strasbourg?

Sam Jewell buying him for a second time.

 

[Mustafa II]

I guess that’s the last time we’ll use Football Manager for our recruitment then!

You say that - This is EXACTLY what I used to do in my FM saves, back in day.

> Buy Barco for £7.5m
> Loan him out
> Sell him for £10m+.

= Profit

It’s €10m so not much profit.

 

[Freddo]

What a waste of time this was for everyone

 

[Coldeanseagull]

This sounds more like the player couldn't settle, so we've helped him on his way. A bit like Undav getting homesick

 

[Hugo Rune]

I thought he had bags of potential. It’s a shame it has to be a permanent exit.

 

[Reddleman]

In his appearances for us I never saw anything that made me think he would improve our side. I was slightly surprised so many people seemed so enthusiastic. Maybe it was that the season was ebbing away and we needed something to cling to. I did hope a loan would sort it out but that hasn’t happened. Ah well, we make a small profit and move on.

His deadball delivery was superb.

I was looking forward to seeing him play for us.

 

[East Staffs Gull]

All you can take it to mean is that he had an attitude that stunk the place out and we want him as far away from here as possible.

Quite possibly.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

I wonder why Man City were interested last Winter and then backed away. Did they spot something we didn't?

Another one with over the top birthday demands maybe?

 

[Kalimantan Gull]

Weird that no club wants him

 

[Whoislloydy]

There must be something that has happened behind the scenes, attitude problem or something? I can't see why we would be cutting our losses without giving the kid a chance when he came here so highly rated.

 

[ClemFandango]

I always thought he was somewhat overrated here. He had that brilliant appearance as a sub versus Wolves away in the Cup but I don’t remember much apart from that

 

[Mancgull]

Couple of potential reasons;
FH prefers physicality which Barco won’t bring with his height and build.

Ferdi K’s preferred position is LB/ LWB. Maybe he is lined up to take over from Pervis in this role and so no need for Barco.

 

[chickens]

Temperament? Ability? Work ethic? Failure to settle? Evil head coach frightening away our young talent?

No idea, seems a shame though, you always want youngsters to do well. I didn’t see enough of him to have a strong opinion for/against, though I do remember a bizarre cameo (against Liverpool, if my memory is correct) where he had two touches and fell over the ball both times.

 

[Affy]

I’m really gutted about this.

 

[Withdean11]

Well, he could take a good set piece so was never going to fit in around here.
