11 more pages of speculation and rumour after this post, and you're still calling some of us out for waiting until we see the picture of him holding up the shirt (or at least official confirmation from the Albion)?
Hmmmm...........

Not calling anyone out. Just saying it’s possible to follow the progress of transfers - which tbf is quite tedious and hard to follow given the various parties / time/ contractual nature of it - despite the blur of speculation, misinformation, and guesswork thanks to some decent journalists both in the UK and in South America. You clearly don’t - perplexed cos NSC has alerted fans to transfer progress since the year dot . So see you on the other side when the shirt pic pops up later this week.

Does anyone honestly believe that he would develop any more quickly than Facundo or any other of our past and present South American teenagers who were thrown straight into the PL squad? Call me sceptical.

He doesn't have to. He's costing less than 10 million quid and is 19. I don't think anyone is suggesting he'll be first choice from the moment he joins.

Confirmed as a fake account.

I do, I might be wrong, but given that he has experience in different positions, I am hopeful he can get De Zerbis method quickly, and be making an impact on this season.

From the club radio team
Boca does not accept Brighton's offer. The English team will execute the player's clause at this time. Boca receives 10 million dollars NET. Barco travels in the next few days to England to have a medical check-up and sign his contract for 5 seasons

Hope no one tells him about Norwich before his car reaches Lancing
So where's the f***ing picture of him holding up the shirt?

Hope the weather picks up a bit before he arrives. It's bad enough going to LANCING, but when it's freezing cold too? Good luck with that, BHAFC 
He has a whopping 2.2 million followers on Instagram so making an announcement to his 7k twitter audience would be a bit odd!

Maybe? I mean, City's plan was apparently to loan him to Leicester, who are looking good for promotion from the Championship.
Obviously that's a level below us, but only one level. And it's the very top end of that level. I don't think this is one of those "he needs two years of loans before he's ready" situations.
So while he obviously won't be ready to play from day one, I wouldn't be too surprised if we see something from him this season, even if it's a few appearances off the bench.
I’d suggest you should just ignore this thread and refresh the club site each day if that’s all you want.
It's not, so suggestion ignored.

He looks like he’ll be able to cope with the physicality of the Premier League. He’s more athletic than Facundo was when he first joined.

?? Bizarre that you're interested in latest updates and post to this thread frequently . But then dismiss posters sharing what they've seen as all rumour and nonsense (some of it might be, some of it definitely isn't) given that you don't trust anything until the club announce something. They won't announce anything for days.
100%. Important to jump to a conclusion after 20 mins of watching anyone new.
