[Albion] Valentín Barco **Signed 20/01/24**

[Super Steve Earle]

Anyone know what Argentinians do when they see a ginger? They have to touch their left ball. And no this isn’t a joke.

The Argentina guy next to me at work told me (we have 3 gingers at work).

Imagine all the Argentinians walking up to gingers to grab them by the crotch

 

[Dibdab]

Keep the faith.

 

[Bakero]

Seems we're still in the mix but the list of suitors is growing. Reportedly, we had people at the Boca game the other day to watch him.

 

[The Fits]

One of the best youngsters on FM this year. Was already in but now I'm really in.

 

[Frutos]

Keep the faith.

I see The Sun were reporting City want to sign him then loan him to Leicester until the end of the season. Is he going to want to be playing in the English Championship when he's just played in a Copa Libertadores final, when fellow kids Buonanotte and Veliz are already in the Prem, and when Buonanotte has already been called up to the senior Argentina squad.

Playing in the Championship for £100-£150K a week might look quite appealing though.

Is he on loan at Wimbledon?

Of course that would depend on personal preferences. Quality of football or money.

Is that with City or Leicester next season too

 

[Mancgull]

I somehow doubt we’ll get this one over the line with City interested. However, you never know. Maybe being a regular starter for a team pushing for league 2 promotion won’t appeal to him?

Yes, and we all know how that choice pans out!

 

[The Rivet]

Lol, how mercenary at that age! Let ManC have him then.

 

[Uh_huh_him]

Maybe having a clear and obvious vacancy in our first team would be appealing.....

 

[Nicks]

Remember we are a stepping stone for these South American kids now.
Come here , gets first team football and put yourself in the £100 million bracket hopefully or sit it out at City getting splinters and getting the odd few minutes here and there or loaned to Stoke etc !!!

Yes, because this is the prospective signing where the agent, (presumably) has leaked our (presumed) interest.

There will be other players on our hit list which we're happily oblivious about

Encouraging if we have sent people to Mendoza to watch him as that article suggests

 

[Kosh]

I’d suggest that this one isn’t going to happen… it’s got Kudus noises written all over it, we’re being used and we’re going to have to get used to it

Hey ho, he’s no Kerry Mayo anyway.

 

[GT49er]

Lol, how mercenary at that age! Let ManC have him then.

....it's the ten starving little siblings back home he has to look after, doncha know!
