March will also drop out (but needs to be replaced by a player who meets the necessary HGP criteria).

The fact that I have seen a video of him standing on a ball before going past a player sold him to me instantly. I used to love Colwill rolling the ball under his foot but this takes it to another level. I want to see him do this ball standing against Liverpool and City before he sets off on a run and puts in a cross that ends up in the back of the net.

Yep. which we don't have; so March may stay in the squad. Either way, we can't replace him with a BHAFC HGP

I don't think we have anyone to replace March in that category, so he might need to stay in! Feel free to correct me though!
Think we have up to the day before the first leg of the ko stage to add players, so plenty of time to see who deserves to make it. Injuries could impact selection as well.

Presumably the first leg of the February KO stage, rather than OUR first KO leg, in March?

Sorry, is this a 'done deal' (maybe I have missed it) or are we being a bit dizzy and giddy with anticipated excitement?!

Obviously there was some interest pre Christmas (from other clubs) but by that logic you or I could sign for any club in the World. Teams have to actually bid for players to sign them and it looks like we (by some miracle given how keen City seemed to be) are the only team who've actually done that.
Not 100% clear

For the qualifying phase and the play-offs, a club may register a maximum of two new eligible players on List A after the above-mentioned deadlines, provided the quota of locally trained players is respected. Such registration must be completed by 24.00CET on the day before the relevant first-leg match and the club’s association must confirm in writing that the new player is eligible to play at domestic level at this time.
Not when there is a release clause.

Yes and no. We are unlikely to sell our best players to Spurs unless they are coming to the end of their contracts. So Biss type sales are still to be expected as they are our business model. However unwanted sales of our best players are less likely since only a few clubs are as stupid with money as Chelsea are/were.
Tim Vickery is saying it’s a done deal (according to all the Argentine media).
Edit, found the clip from SSN - worth a listen

It's as done as a deal can be without an official shirt holding/contract signing photo.

Vickery says Barco is a “red headed flea” - very different player to Pervis.

Has he taken orrrf yet?
I agree. I also wonder if RDZ will want to use him as the hybrid full back out of possession, deep lying midfielder in possession, that he's been experimenting with over the past few months (mainly with Milner). Barco looks like he has all the attributes to play in this role.
This would allow both him and Pervis to play on the pitch at the same time with Pervis as the LCB out of possession, wide LB in possession.
Still betting on the 13:30 (local time)
