[Albion] Julio Enciso - Paraguay’s new wonder kid (Signed 17/06/2022)

[Simster]

Ny mistake about Grealish; I thought he was more peripheral, but stats show he has been fairly regular.

All the same, Enciso is still nowhere near good enough (yet) to be of interest to City.

He's probably not good enough to get into their side, but "nowhere near" is exaggerating the point. If he moved in the summer, I could see him starting for them within 12 months. Besides, City are seeing the way things are going and we are in an era where a proven top class player is £80m+, and they can't pay that two or three times every summer. They're probably taking the view that it is worth paying less than a third of that on a rough diamond (by their standards) that could be coached to the top.

I think he'll be a key player for us this season.

Bloody aftertimer...

Never know what his best position is. Played well on left when Mitoma was injured but he wont get that spot.

Based on the weekend , it isnt wide right

March spot is safe. 3 that have played there since he was out have been very poor.

Agree on the first point, wouldn't go as far as you on the second. I suppose it depends how Pedro (who has played there) gets on and is used, but across the front four, it's on the right that we might need an addition.

Pedro is his middle name.

Pedro is his middle name.

What do you call that Portuguese number 7 out of interest, when referring to him by a single name?

Sure, but he's chosen to be called "Ronaldo" as his given name.

What some of us are doing with Joao Pedro is the equivalent of referring to this guy as "Claude".

I did notice on Sunday that there was a “technical” injury to a Southampton player. That gave De Zerbi the chance to talk to his players. He picked out Enciso and was trying to explain something to him. I think Julio was a bit confused by the language barrier, and went to Caicedo (I think) to get a translation. He’s showed over the season that he’s learning and really willing to learn and mortified when it all goes wrong. What’s not to like.

Enciso was getting one on one coaching from the boss for the entire first half on Sunday. Subbed at half time probably with ear ache!

Yours for £200m City!

Freakish talent, potential to be one of the very best in the world.

[Wozza]

Bit surreal watching Julio LIVESTREAM from the dressing room on social media, whilst simultaneously viewing TB and RDZ being interviewed on the pitch via a Sky Sports stream.

Leaving aside the obvious football achievement, couldn't have imagined the tech 20 years ago!

 

[Whoislloydy]

Everytime Enciso plays I laugh at the Palace fan who tweeted he wasn't worried about Enciso after watching an U21 game you should worry because he's one of the brightest talents in world football

 

[Bold Seagull]

I’m starting to think Enciso could be the best of the lot of players we’ve bought through, and that’s saying something. But at 18, holy moly this kid is special, I mean really special.

 

[Reddleman]

Has any player for us ever scored such a high number of quality goals so early in their career. The goals against Bournemouth, Chelsea and tonight were absolutely outstanding with only the Arsenal header being ‘normal’. It’s remarkable.

 

[SUIYHP]

That goal, good f***ing lord that was our boy giving one to the Champions and he’s just NINETEEN.

 

[herecomesaregular]

So many The Next Maradona/Messi's playing for us.... I'm getting confused. Seems greedy of us.

 

[Bold Seagull]

Brighton have 11 goals from teenagers this season. That is 2 more than the rest of the PL combined!!!

You could equally be talking about Evan!
