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

[medwayseagull reborn]

In the Argentina squad ?

Yes

 

[Icy Gull]

Brighton have two players in the World Champions squad. It’s all a bit surreal

 

[Albion Robster]

What a rise for young Buonanotte!

 

[Mellotron]

Another hint as to peoples faith in this lads ability.

Excellent news but very expected imo - his performance at Rosario and the Argentinian U21s meant it was just a matter of time. As said before on this thread, he is more highly rated in Argentina than Mackie was at this age. Even after just a few appearances for us he is clearly more than an impact substitute at EPL level and proved against Stoke how positionally versatile he is, the dream of any modern manager. He has also shown, (with one offside goal disallowed (because of Undav’s offside and one of his own) that he also has great potential to score goals.

I remain very excited about Facu and have no doubts he will step up to replace Mac Allister when we sell him or provide back up as a winger/WB - we have come a long way since the nay sayers on this thread back in December were saying he would be going out on loan, not ready for the PL, too young etc etc - he’s proved them absolutely wrong. ‘If you are good enough, you are old enough’.

I think he's been very unlucky not to have scored yet.

Amazing at 18

Nuts isn't it.

Hopefully the Spuds similarity ends there.

 

[Hugo Rune]

Amazing at 18

Yes, he is just 18. But let’s give him the same patience and time that we gave Mac to become a first team regular. On the evidence so far, he’ll need it. He looked quite raw against Stoke.

That's a broad brush approach, you cod have bream a tad subtler.

The mad thing about everyone saying how insanely good Fasu could become and he’s just 18………



…..Evan Ferguson……..

So is Evan. Mind blowing really

 

[Live by the sea]

Has potential to be a top top player from what I’ve seen of him .

 

[spence]

Got his first assist.

 

[Seagull27]

Seems to play in a more mature way than the likes of Enciso and Sarmiento, his short passing and link up play looks very assured and he slots in well. Would like to see him starting some games.

Who would you play him instead of?

 

[Joey Jo Jo Jr. Shabadoo]

Who would you play him instead of?

With Lamptey injured there is the option of Gross at RB and Fercundo playing central behind Ferguson. Personally I’d still play Veltman at RB but it’s an option RDZ has used before and I’m sure with the looming fixture pile up we might see more rotation in certain positions.

 

[Seagull27]

Who would you play him instead of?

In the role behind strikers that Mac is currently playing. I'm not saying he should be picked ahead of Mac, obviously, but we have a squad not just 11 players, it's not out of the question that Facu might start some games due to injuries/rotation
