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

[Hugo Rune]

He should be an inverted wingback.

Like what Pep had Cancelo doing where defensively he plays left back but in possession moves into the central midfield position.

I saw Pep head straight to Barco after their win. He knows it.

 

[Silverhatch]

Glenn Murray’s near post runs would be perfect for Barco.

 

[zefarelly]

MoM for me.

Lets hope we get to see at least a full season of him playing regularly and growing into the type of Player sideshowspanishtwat can only dream of ever being.

V good

Like Cucarella (prick that he is) did very well tonight. The whole build-up structure changes with that dynamic. Barco will need to be very good positionally to make it work.

 

[Milano]

Some brilliant moments. I thought his shot was his way of saying to the manager, "your no shooting tactics are a load of shit and I'm going to ignore you and do it anyway"

I stood up and applauded him

So did most of the Amex. He’s going to score a belter soon. I’d start him Sunday.

Like what cucu was doing at times tonight

He used to do it for us too. Would underlap the winger.

 

[Green Cross Code Man]

I love him! He is going to be one of the greats!

 

[Cordwainer]

I love him! He is going to be one of the greats!

I really hope so..he makes something happen every time he’s on the ball..normally good..occasionally bad! Always looking to go forward though and for his size he’s got a hell of a spring on him.

Class act tonight

 

[Jack Straw]

In the nicest possible way, we've named him The Ginger Flea! Magnificent when he came on this evening.

 

[zefarelly]

Aside all the plaudits for his attacking, unlike anyone else this evening, his defending was weapons grade. Literally refused to give anything up. A few times he walked away with the ball and I had no idea how .. . . Especially given the refs performance on most things

 

[METALMICKY]

Would love him to start on Sunday. Very impressive.

 

[B-right-on]

When he came on for Dunk at HT, I thought WTF, but he was brilliant. Very much like Enciso, Solly and Motoma - will get the ball and run at defenders and that gets them nervous and back off. Gets me up on my feet when he's got the ball and running with it towards their goal. Will take it in, cross it, pass it or have a go. A bit like Adringa but with a much better end product.

Love the little Ginger One

 

[Invicta]

He was very good. Love to see him and Baleba start on Sunday.

 

[tstanbur]

One of the crosses he put in was absolutely sensational. Criminal no one got on the end of it.

A lot that was criminal in the final third tonight!

 

[Pavilionaire]

I'm more confused than ever about what our best 11 and best formation are. Barco and Baleba definitley each bring something unique to the side, but you also have to fit in Gross, Mitoma, JP, Enciso. Barco looks though his best position might be left midfield in a 4-3-3.

Big Igor was a monster too.
