If we’ve seriously given up on European qualification let’s put the kids in when we can.

Rumours that he’s going out on loan next season have already started. It would surprise me but it wouldn’t be the first time a player has arrived spent 6 months with the squad then gone out on loan as they aren’t quite at the level required yet.
At Anfield he seemed very lack lustre in the warm-up, at half time he gave it the least effort compared to the other subs (it was right in front of me - he was a second or two behind the others in everything, lower energy, seemed to be going through the motions), and in the second half while other players were running up down the touchline he seemed to spend a lot of it stood there watching the game to the extent myself and those around me assumed he had been told he wasn't coming on...then when he came on he gave the ball away twice in rapid succession and seemed way off the pace. I got the impression of a player struggling to adapt in a lot of ways and possibly not loving it and almost like RDZ was proving a point to the player by bringing him on. I'm sure he'll be great with time, but that time may be a few months away.

Whoever we bring in, we are crying out for more pace, both to get forward but also to dash back when caught out. We’ve often looked slow there this season.

Who knows… a video just posted on the clubs Instagram shows him laughing, smiling, & hugging another player. Probably wants more game time, which is normal, but otherwise is generally fine. Would be a bit quick to go from happily signing for the club to having a tantrum. Absolutely no way would they have signed him by pretending he’s going to start every game straight away.

Tell the club shop, then we'll have wagon-loads of folk in Carmen Gear.

From the very little I've seen of Barco he looks miles off it. A loan would make a lot of sense.

This is great news if true, it doesn't mean Pervis is off, this season has shown us we need cover, competition and options at LB and in a back 4 that's not Igor. IMO we need the same at right back too.

Agree. We needs a specialist RB and LB to come in this summer IMO

Pervis has been well off the standard of last season. Not sure whether it’s because of an injury or another issue.
I’m also not sure whether Barco would be a natural left back in the Premier League. More of a LWB.
So our interest in this guy makes sense.

I had this guy in football manager a few years back and he was quality. So it’s a YES from me.
