[Albion] Facundo Buonanotte **On Loan To Leicester 10/08/24**

[Mackenzie]

we watched the game, I thought he was one of their better players. A solid debut for Leicester. I think he’ll do well for them in that second/deep striker role, he’s got good quick feet, turns well. Hopefully he‘ll play every game for them.

Good performance and should have had an assist from that very well weighted pass to put Vardy through. Promising start for him.

Shows how far we've come as whilst he clearly has potential, he is one of my least favourite of our young players. Too often was the weak link last season despite the odd gem of a performance. Consistency comes with age and experience I know but if we had to lose any of our youngsters (for a decent fee of course) Buonanotte would be my pick. Hope to be proven wrong however

Hopefully he has a fantastic season but Leicester still get relegated.

Hopefully he has a fantastic season but Leicester still get relegated.

Just hope being on loan to a Club below our level will improve him so he has a place back on our first team at the end of the season.

Generally doesn’t work like that for players that have already played several seasons with the registered club before being loaned out to a ‘lesser team’ even if the extra match time was the benefit. They more often than not drop to the lowest common denominator. Good showing against Spurs though.

And a little write up coming later today from that source.

He’s my under the radar FPL signing at 5m although I suspect the 0.1% ownership will now increase

Glad he stayed in the Prem. Be interesting to see how he gets on. I like him. Bit lightweight, but still so young and plenty of time to beef up a bit.

 

[Marshy]

Playing 10 he is a very good footballer.

We were just screwed for wide players last year so could really only get minutes for him on the right.

its no suprise all his goals and contributions were when he drifted central.

I thought he was MOM last night for Leics, Vardy grabs the headlines obvs, but Facundo was there best player for the 75 mins he was on.

 

[Hometownglory]

I really rate him. He made some beautiful passes last night. A year of consistent prem games will be great for him and us for next season. I just hope Mr Cooper doesn't coach his talent out of him.

Glad he stayed in the Prem. Be interesting to see how he gets on. I like him. Bit lightweight, but still so young and plenty of time to beef up a bit.

The positive was he actually didn't look lightweight last night and was getting stuck right in. His performance actually reminded me of the moment Ali Mac started to look like a proper footballer after a pre-season of strength work and developing man strength so that bodes very well for us.

 

[BrickTamland]

don’t think we could of got him a better loan.

Stays in the league and will need to do a lot more running / mucking in than he probably would do here which is the side of his game that needs developing (and not diving).

Sort that out and he can compete for a place with us next year.

He’s still a kid, no need to rush things

[Han Solo]

Good to see, but that grass must be very long. Looks very laborious to transport the ball.

 

[Sea Cider]

He's going to be absolutely brilliant by the time he's in his EARLY TWENTIES (FFS).

Superb loan from the club. Well done

 

[GrossTurn]

If he’s playing in that #10 role week in, week out for Leicester then I think both he and us have lucked out somewhat with this loan move. Looked pretty central to most of their attacking play.
