Here's the original post. Depressing.



Barco has offers from Brighton and City, both are willing to pay the 10 million clause 💵

Valentin wants to play the Cup with Boca and will try to stay until the end

He hasn't decided on the club yet, but after the Cup, most likely, he won't continue in

Hopefully he didn’t see Bauonottes interview about Brighton in the winter. Or maybe we just tell him Manchester is like that all year round

Two facts:

1) if you are a ginger Argentinian who moves to Brighton after having played for boca juniors you win the world cup within a few years.

2) if you're Argentinian, regardless of hair colour/style, you will NOT win the world cup as a man city player.


These are two irrefutable facts. They should be considered very carefully by the young man.

This is going to be happening a lot..such a shame. And of course they already have a left back we wanted.

He’s going to ask Facundo about Rottingdean, isn’t he

I think we have built up enough of a track record getting youngsters playing in the PL and going onto 'bigger clubs' that we stand a chance. Going to City pretty much guarantees no first team football for a while so coming here does make sense for his longer career.

But its down to his advisors at the end of the day. Didnt Ferguson get an offer from ManU but chose to come here? Not all kids are tempted by the initial club offer but think of the long term and we have proven record of developing youngsters, blooding them in the PL and first team and then selling them on when they step up. Plus got a good South American contingent here.

We'll see but the days of City, Spuds, Man Utd etc.. automatically being the club of choice over Brighton for develping youngters are gone. imo.

Yer agree with this

This is different to an established player

If he joins us he’s second pick at left back . Joins city and he’s 4th pick and will be nowhere near the first team. They will probably loan out to someone like us anyway so pointless joining them. They won’t be paying a 19 year old with little experience big bucks either.

There’s only one journo talking about city.
