I just saw him complain to the waitress about his overcooked baked beans at little chef, I almost spat my gammon steak out.

He's given an interview talking about the move to Brighton. He's not yet spoken to RDZ, but has spoken to Facu. He's said he's ready to play wherever the manager needs him to.
That's a long way of saying 'yes, it is happening'!

If you went to the Little Chef and didn’t have the Olympic Breakfast then you’re a fool. I still occasionally have wistful memories of the Little Chef Olympic Breakfast.
Even in those days of non-existent food standards legislation, the Little Chef sausage had a peculiar rubbery quality whose only modern equivalent is if you’re brave enough to look inside and dissect a Greggs sausage bap. However, it was the fried potatoes wot won it.

The OP didn't mention whose training ground! I presume the Argentina U23s will have one? - and it may be announced that he's going to start on Sunday..........
Still a pretty rubbish effort though.
In the early days of my job (late 90's) most of our work involved early starts, travelling up the A34 in a crappy transit van, to Northern grief-holes. The ONLY silver lining to these trips, was an Olympic Breakfast at the LC at the top of the A34, with extra toast, and multiple pots of tea.
All on expenses of course. The equivalent now is about £15!

Daley Thompson banned from promoting Little Chef's Olympic Breakfast
Its combination of fried bread, bacon and saute potatoes is unlikely to make Little Chef's Olympic Breakfast first choice for most athletes.

I must have cooked (and eaten) hundreds, possibly even thousands of Olympic Breakfasts after my glittering Little Chef career from ages 16-19. Managed to perfect the art when stoned out of my face from smoking weed in the staff room for most of the day as well. The management of those places was rather questionable. Halcyon days.
Still hopeful. #HoldTheNerveTell me you’re new here without telling me you’re new here

Not going to trawl through 81 pages to search for this, so forgive if fixtures (one for the newbies there...)
He's given an interview, yesterday, to a Miami-based newspaper that follows the big clubs in Argentina quite closely. In it, he essentially confirms he's coming to Brighton, and even has a mild pop at the club (Boca, not us!), saying that he didn't want to be the one who invoked the release clause, but he waited for three days for a new contract offer and heard nothing. It was Brighton who invoked it, he says, saying he could already have gone to Getafe and has had other opportunities to leave, and if they'd got their act together, he'd probably still be a Boca player. Think he's trying to stay in the fans' good books but it's clear he is coming, if there are no issues with medical/paperwork at our end.

To be fair, he didn't say WHICH training ground.
B-right-on

I've read most of the thread, if not all and the interview you linked had more info than the others linked.
I liked what the kid said. He could have gone before on a free to Getafe but didn't and resigned.
Could have gone for free in the summer but wanted to go now so Boca get $10m and he was pushing for them to keep a percentage so they'd make more money out of him. But when they didn't reply to him about it asked for us to trigger the release clause.
He looked at it with his dad and Agent and decided that it's best he moves for his future development.
Sounds like a really down to earth lad, got good people around him.

Well, based upon this X from the official Argentine FA account, you could be forgiven for thinking that Mr Lion posts a heap of steaming bullshit. Maybe it's a parody account: a joke because he's actually Mr Lying?
