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

[dazzer6666]

Those Twitter comments are interesting, from all those enraged Chelsea, Arsenal, Spurs, Liverpool fans complimenting Brighton and asking why the hell their clubs couldn't buy him. It's a good question but I think two parts of the answer are that young players really want to play under RDZ because of what they'll learn; and that young South American stars now see Brighton as the perfect club to progress to, and eventually from. Less pressure from hordes of howling fans, a supportive structure, a modern, innovative playing style, and a much greater chance of getting game time more quickly. Those other big clubs simply can't offer these things.

Exactly that. Love reading the bitterness

Really thought there would be more competition for the lad and City or Chelsea would go for him. All the hallmarks of a future gem being snapped up of what, £8m…

As expected because his agent would not get the double bubble payment when we sell him to one of those teams if he went straight there.

Hes waiting for ITK journalists to confirm first before copying "exclusive"

Same as this goon

My Brazilian friend just sent this pic of 'the mf mocking us in our last Libertadores defeat'.
Us being Palmeiras in the semi finals.

Not sure if this has been shared - what he actually did!

 

[Hugo Rune]

So when will he be released from the Argentina U23s?

Have the Club shipped him out a shirt for the photo op, or will they just do a Romano photoshop special?

I want to know when to take Mrs Rune up the Amex and offer her up to him!

I'm as excited as anyone by this signing, but for me, THAT is a bit...um... SHIT.

Can you imagine being several goals up against Palace up at their place, and him doing that. It would be scenes.

It certainly stretches the definition of epic somewhat.

But it doesn't ACHIEVE anything - like Anthony's crappy pirouette thing, that just made everyone think he was a total COCK.

And even if the stand-on-the-ball-thing WAS your thing, he doesn't even do it very well in that clip!

It is a shit video to be fair. There are others where they show what else happened around it.

It's a taking the piss action, rather than something productive, like players doing keepy-uppy. Winds the opposition fans up something rotten.

thanks Sherlock.

Corrected for you, confidence and character, I bloody love it. I accept he takes the risk of getting a career ending injury, in retaliation, from the opposition in the PL though

You might want to add that you would be living in a wonderful, vibrant City between the Sea and the South Downs...

Loads of hype around this kid on social media, he’s more of a ‘known’ wonderkid it seems. Hopefully he deals with the pressure/expectation from the media. For that reason I think we will blood him in slowly

I want to know when to take Mrs Rune up the Amex…

My advice would be when she’s definitely up for it, and you’ve talked about it. Don’t just try and surprise her with it.

He could ‘accidentally’ take her up the Amex?

If it’s dark and they’re drunk.

Talking of Ali Mac, wasn’t there a thing about him playing for the U23s around the time we signed him too? Or am I confusing him with someone else?
