I guess the most likely outcome is that he comes out of the team for Sunday and Igor slots in. But I think he'll play more than he doesn't for the rest of the season

You might be right. But those risks are on De Zerbi not Barco

Agree. I thought he was terrific. I like the way he properly pings his passes into feet. An obvious cock up for the Foden goal, but he's being asked to take huge risks at the back, they all are. Those ones are down to the playing style I believe he is a much better left back than left...

Welcome. Can I ask, how is the progress of Buonanotte considered to be going in Argentina?

I'm hoping and expecting to see plenty of Barco in the last few games. Pervis still bang out of form, the Fati gamble looks to be one which won't pay off. The way I see it, let's develop our own player and make sure he's 100% ready for next season

Yes. But i think we need a bit of that

I agree with you. He's 100% ready. He's one of those young players, that steps on the pitch and has a presence, like he owns the place. He found space, demanded the ball and made things happen. Contrast this with our two other young players, one starting, one from the bench. I wish them...

I want to think that you're wrong, but i'm not 100% sure that you are

If it's Barco, peupion or bbb for the weekend, I know who I'm picking

Not ready my arse

Are we still talking about the clothes here?

Even in his welcome photo he looks like he's about to put in the sort of challenge which would initiate a 22 man brawl

Well yes and presumably you can apply for a permit before a contract of employment is finalised.

Complete bell end in every single way. But the Toon fans, incorruptible judges of character that they are, love him. Maybe we need a little more fire in the belly sometimes

I want this though. I want players with fire in their belly. We're too nice most of the time. I'll risk a sending off. What I don't like seeing is the likes of Villa and Fulham, beat us, because they've niggled and snided their way to victory. We need players who can mix it with them in...

For nothing

That's some ball in

OK, but the club know full well that it has been leaked. They also know that supporters are passionate, and are very interested in signings and in some senses have a stake in the club which gives them more rights to know what is going on than say a shopper at Sainsburys would have the right to...

Why do we need a media shoot is my point? All anyone wants to see is an article on the club site saying .... "The club are delighted to welcome the signing of Valentin Barco from Boca Juniors. He is a player we've been watching for .... blah blah blah". They can do a "meet Valentin Barco"...

Loan. It's got to be a loan. They are trying to arrange it, announce it all at once and it's taking ages to get the right loan arranged. The notion that they are taking all this time as they are trying to prepare some sort of elaborate signing presentation video makes no sense. It's not...
