[Albion] Valentín Barco ** Loan To Strasbourg with obligation to buy 02/02/2025**

[pigmanovich]

Reports that Chelsea are interested in Barco. Who knows if true but is he our player still to sell and if so, any likelihood we would give him another going over now a full season has passed?

Not if as reported Strasbourg have an obligation to buy Barco at the end of his loan

 

[Gabbiano]

Strasbourg are Chelsea anyway.

Well, he ain't going to get much game time there unless Cucurella gets injured.

Strasbourg are owned by Boehly as well. They’ll exercise their option/obligation and then sell him to Chelsea.

Pretty much what Nürnberg did when exercising their option on Tzimas and selling him to us immediately.

Surely a healthy sell on clause !!

I didn’t know that, thanks

Gotta love the synergies of multi-club ownership.

If he does end up at Chelsea then it would suggest that his problem wasn't with English culture, or the weather, or not getting playing time since he's got to know that his chances at Chelsea are going to be even more rare.

Hardlly played at left back under Rosenior. He played him left side of midfield.

Wing back-ish.

Chelsea might suit his prima donna preciousness though - if indeed that was the problem at Brighton and Sevilla - Chelsea don’t exercise a NDP as far as I can ascertain.

They have an ODP. Only Dickheads Policy.

I can't help feeling the so-called NDP is a load of old crap anyway. Surely all clubs* actively seek to avoid players who are meant to be disruptive, troublesome or just out and out knobheads? Why would you consciously sign somebody who would upset the delicate balance of the dressing room, assuming you knew about that element of their character?

*other than Marseilles, Chelsea and Newcastle

He can f***ing ping a cross.

And wears splendid trousers.


I like him

 

[B-right-on]

Played 15 games for Strasbourg since his loan in Feb. Looks like he's been pretty much played most games since the loan.

What tune is that to?

 

[papachris]

What tune is that to?

I thought for a moment it was

'He wears gor blimey trousers'
'My ole man's a dustman and he lives in a council flat'

 

[Albion my Albion]

The Albion could put the boot in on Barco but I'm not sure another run though would mean that much as far as increasing Barco's quality.

Started 14 out of 14 in the league. Transfermarkt does b has him missing one game but that was played on the day he signed for them so he was probably ineligible anyway.

let him go to chelsea and they can sell us colwill
