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

[BadFish]

That's true, we didn't

What more proof do you need?

Ibiza, ENGLISH footballers and rest, don't normally go together.

Can not imagine Alexis going out necking pills and raving all night. Sensible chap.

Not that this means anything but I understand he and his gf broke up recently.

I hope Mac Allister got them in on the friends and family rate.

And while we pull our hair out in frustrating discussions and arguments...3 of the squad relax on the beach in Ibiza

Good. Exactly what they need.

Agree 100%. My post wasn't a criticism of the trip at all. UTA.

 

[AstroSloth]

Agree on the behind the striker comment, but disagree on the right. Solly was devastating and Enciso looked dangerous at that stage. When Solly went off and Enciso moved to the right, his perfomance dropped substantially. He's much better on the left than the right, that's where his best performances have come (eg Wolves).

I meant to say that Enciso is better on the left and Buonanotte on the right but mistyped.

Facu’s passing accuracy is phenomenal - especially his long balls - every game he plays, he improves. Will be an integral player next season.

He doesn't look like a wide player to me. Would like to see him in the advanced midfield role.

That’s his natural and preferred position - If we loose Mac Allister in the summer window, I think RDZ will have Facu in a CAM position which is what he was signed for - he’s wasted on the wing but has needed the match minutes for EPL blooding.

isn’t that the role we’ve just signed João Pedro for?

We’re going to need 2-3 options for every position really, not just one.

That also means players who themselves can play in a couple of roles are going to be invaluable.

 

[Stat Brother]

Played well today, still a long way from the EPL wavelength (unsurprisingly) but deffo heading in the right direction.

we won’t get far with one CAM next season !!

There’s also Fratessi who will walk straight in if we get him.

Thought he was decent today and forced a good same from the Saints keeper.

Yep, still very young.

 

[Rogero]

His best game yet.

 

[Oh_aye]

He hit a sublime long ball over to either mitoma or Estupinan. And big shout out for the 15 yard nutmeg pass.

It was a wing to wing to Mitoma and yes absolutely, that one was particularly in my mind when writing the above post. He also did a fantastic weave through 3 or 4 defenders showing off his manoeuvrability in tight and packed areas. He’s getting more confident to run with the ball more which is what he did so well at Rosario. Shame he didnt get more crosses into the box though from Mitoma - he was in excellent positions several times.

 

[Bozza]

Seems to be somewhat more grounded than young Enciso - seems to be happy to get his head down, learn his craft and play.

Very similar characteristics to Ali Mac.
