He's literally said "I'm already a Brighton player" in an interview. Stop stirring. Not sure why the club is waiting to announce, most likely is that a loan is being arranged unfortunately.

Of all the PL clubs we have that reputation. There are others - Dortmund, Leipzig, Salzburg, Benfica, Sporting, maybe Ajax. These clubs have regular European football and much more pedigree but are these days effectively a springboard to the top clubs for young talent. Whilst we are new on the...

Might find out tomorrow if he lines up for the U21s Vs Reading.

Respectfully, I think it's the blue and white tinted glasses. Neither have any special prior connection to the club and will want to play the highest level football for the most money possible. We just have to hope they behave like Mac Allister and not Sanchez. I see it the same as the...

The release clause is effectively the amount required to pay out and end the contract prematurely. So there would be no subsequent agreement between Boca and Brighton, for a sell on to be inserted into.

I can believe that were in for him, but that he's not 100% sold yet. Ultimately it comes down to whether 1. He wants to come to us for an opportunity to compete for first team football, particularly now that Estupiñan is back. 2. He wants the money that a Chelsea or City can pay him and is...

It's been very widely reported the release clause is $10m which makes me suspicious of this immediately

But Barco has a release clause, so if all the clubs interested activate that it doesn't really matter what's in Boca's best interest. Comes down to whether he is willing to sacrifice short term earnings for play time.

Lavia, Brahim Diaz, Trafford, Borges (just joined Ajax), even Sancho perhaps (though maybe he'd have got his chance eventually). Not making the grade at City is no indictment of a career, plenty of clubs will still take the risk. At this point City have overtaken Chelsea as the best academy in...

To be honest City youngsters who don't make the first team have had no problem moving on to other decent clubs and building careers in recent seasons. It's not a black hole for talent and I'm sure the payday for him is far better than what we can offer. He'd get his chance here sooner...

Just because we only play one traditional full back at any given time doesn’t mean we wouldn’t benefit by having the option to switch that play between the left and right side. Always playing down the left with Pervis is predictable. If Lamptey were fit, he could provide that role on the right...

To be fair that’s true, I was mainly thinking about the Everton debacle. I don’t think it’s necessarily a one off though, we’ll be faced with it a lot this season. Towards the end of the season we were faced with teams who wouldn’t be baited into pressing us and naturally that meant us playing...

We had a couple of demonstrations end of last season from Everton and Newcastle, how to beat de Zerbiball. Sit back and be compact until we’ve gradually committed everyone to the attack, particularly the fullbacks. Lightning pace counter attack - our CBs are great ball players but not fast...

I don’t think it’s that complicated. Both Brighton and City were interested for a while, we’re not the only club looking at the brightest prospects in Latin America. Brighton make a bid, the agent calls City and says “do you want to get in on this, nows the time”, and they do so they outbid...

If it’s a release clause then surely a sell on is irrelevant? We’re paying effectively to cancel his current contract, anything subsequent to that is not Boca’s business.

Valentin Barco? They call him the love boat.
