Ridiculous how blinkered some people on here are. As said just because he’s not called dackic or might not have a cool haircut people are totally dismissive. Also as said people were quite happy with grealish. I think he’s maybe 18 months older if that and his numbers put grealish to shame. Obviously it’s a punt, any player from the championship is. But Maddison has shown the gap isn’t as big as people make out. If people were happy taking a punt on grealish there’s absolutely no reason to be so dismissive of dack.

Not all of us were happy with Grealish, mate.

He's got something about him - just not the pace or fitness, perhaps.

Agreed. He would be a fine squad player and someone who can fill in for Eriksen and Alli, can even sit deeper...

Hard to find players of quality who are happy to come be bit-part players or bench players, think he could be a shrewd buy!

Wouldn’t go more than £15m but could be good!!

He seems to have excellent vision and a good shot from this video, but i worry that he might be a little slow for a Poch (supposed) high press team and he seems a little cumbersome. He would be under a lot more pressure in the PL. Still, i can understand why the press like him and i'm only basing my opinion of him off this video which one should really never do.


On a side note, he sounds like someone out of star wars.

Yet another report, this time from someone who appears to be a Boca-related radio or podcast host, that we have agreed a deal for Barrios to come in January. The quoted price is €23m.

I do think we could use another DM if the club feel that Wanyama will never regain his previous level, but I don't personally rate Barrios. From what (admittedly little) I've seen of him he gives the ball away way too cheaply, way too frequently, and would struggle with how little time he'd have on the ball in the PL.

The thing about Dack is he basically looks really out of shape. But hard to tell if he actually is or not. Some players just look like that. But if he is say at 70% then his upside is even bigger. If he can play like that while in the pub all afternoon, what could he do in a poch regime.

Oh just seen he was going out with annoying Olivia bird off love island. He defo seems like a bit of a party going lad. The David Bentley type. Would certainly have to up his standards under poch.

According to Reddit this guy is one of the most reliable for Boca Juniors. We've been linked with this guy for a good while now so I would not be surprised if it ends up materializing.

I think Barrios would be an upgrade on wanyama just for energy alone. The Boca fans love him and say he has 3 lungs.

They also call him the octopus. I did mention 2 weeks ago my Boca friend said the rumours were it was done. They wanted to keep him for the Copa( South American CL) semi final is this week. So it all kind of adds up.

Also Boca already have his replacement lined up another Colombian. Campuzano 22 from Nacional.

A 3 lunged octopus? Forget all my misgivings, sign this lad right the fuck up now.
