I notice that Buonanotte picked up his fifth yellow card of the season on Sunday and will therefore miss the Foxes' home game against Chelsea on Nov 23 after the international break (I mention this to pre-empt the possible "Why have Leicester dropped Facundo?" or "Was Buonanotte injured on international duty?" posts that might otherwise ensue).

"Tottenham are keen on a move for Argentine midfielder Facundo Buonanotte, 19, but will have to compete with Leicester, where he is currently on loan from Brighton"

Compete with Leicester? :rolleyes:

Yeah that's not going to work.

Hasn't he been injured on international duty?

The Argus link to Spurs seems to have come from Fichajes again: https://www.fichajes.net/en/news/to...ine-gem-from-the-premier-league-20241130.html

Well look, probably not true, but if it is, fine.

We have a model, we've spent big. If Spurs want to meet the club's valuation, we'd be open to it. My guess is that when they find out what that valuation is, they will immediately look elsewhere

We best not let him go. How about we take Facundo back in Jan and give Leicester Enciso instead.
Because Buonanotte was sent there for a reason: Game time. Bringing him back (unless we have injuries) doesn't make sense when he'll go straight into competition with Pedro and Georginio. If he's going to get game time here? Maybe. Otherwise, let him stay there and get as many minutes and assists as possible against clubs competing with us in the PL.

As for Enciso, a loan may well be very beneficial but I don't see it as Buonanotte-dependent.

i will tell you why... because Julio is twice the player FB is. So we kept him.
We have so many quality No 10s its ridiculous, FB had to go on loan.

Even if FB scores 10 goals this season will he come back and start for us ?..... I doubt it.

Over Rutter or Pedro or Julio as a 10.... not for me clive.

It was a tonge and cheek assessment. Obviously I know it's good for his development. Rumours also starting to gather pace about Ferguson going to Leciester aswell. Obviously these players want minutes, but we have seen how quickly injuries can mount up during a congested festive/spring fixture list.

You can see how this is going to develop. The lad is loving it at Leicester, come the end of the loan he will want to stay there . We will end up selling him for peanuts, just like wee Billy …. :shrug:
Not really….
See Ben White….

I understand what you’re saying though, and of course regular football, in great form….. what’s not to like?

Re - Gilmour, wasn’t a big loss IMO…. Perhaps a few million less than I would have expected though….
