Enzo Barrenechea - on loan at Benfica

[Dave]

Nah, Risso's right. Me and Ty shared an office for a few months back in 2012. Both moved on since then.

He joined in a couple of our work games when his Chippenham schedule allowed. Obviously I ran rings around him.

I reckon by the end of the season I'm going for Enzo being one of the best value buys of the summer, across all clubs. I've got a good feeling about this lad.

I've also got a good feeling about Enzo.

I not sure on him at all and is way down pecking order for me to be selected

[Dogtanian]

I'm given to understand that he's named after the second dog to play Eddie in Frasier.

What’s the situation with this guy, rumours Unai is willing to see him loaned out?

Or is this press rubbish?

[Demitri_C]

Apparently lazio want him on loan.

I have to say if this happens im going ti be massively disappointed unless others are coming in.

We wanted squad depth and we have loaned the two players that came in with luiz. Dont understand why we didnt just take more money from juve or one player from them who is worth more that could actually contribute thia season

[frank black]

I get the impression we were somewhat over a barrel, when selling Luiz and that some kind of deal had to be found. Hence we’ve taken a gamble on a couple of players that do not appear to be first team ready and are in reality just prospects that we could “bump up” the values for FFP accounting..

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Enzo looks something special, extremely tidy with the ball, I'll be well pissed off if we send him out on loan.

It does appear that way. But i just dont understand if you think about its only maatsen barkley JPB and onana thats really been added to the squad. Not exactly the squad depth they keep alluding to.

Maatsen for moreno
JPB for Diaby?
Onana for luiz

Barkley you can say is a extra body.

I know we will say we kamara mings buendia and JJ back but all coming back from long term injuries. Big gamble for me if this is how we go in until January with ni further signings

According to an article I read Unai has "lost trust" in Enzo which doesn't sound good.

Likewise.

Sport Witness? They linked to an Italian article that says nothing of the sort other than he wasn't in the first two match squads this season. In the real world, "Tomorrow he is in the squad," Emery said of Barrenechea. "He is working very well, he is young and has a big potential. His process here with us, it is to try to use progressively his potential getting better.

"Of course, I am happy with him. He is a very good player and a very good person. His adaptation in the squad is fantastic at the moment."

Yes, I read those quotes before not3bad’s post and thought ‘blimey, that was quick’.

His Uncles Emi are taking good care of him even if he still hasn't built up the courage to speak to one of them.

It’s because he was seen rifling through Unai’s pockets after training.
