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

[Professor Plum]

At the risk of stating the bleeding obvious, the better he does in this division for a direct competitor, the more we shoot ourselves in the foot. Note to club: other leagues are available for loanees

As others have said, Leicester are unlikely to be competing with Brighton. Much more important for me is that he is getting quality game time with a Premier League club which he wasn't going to get with us. If he comes back next season with his game significantly improved, that has to be good news for both club and player. Another possibility is that he might do so well with Leicester that one of the wealthy PL clubs will come in for him and give us the usual oversized fee. I'd prefer the former but if the latter helps us remain solvent, and invest in other parts of the team, so be it.

Or, to satisfy THPP's paranoia -how about a simply clause in the loan deal, that says they have to pay an additional £3.5m fee if they finish above us?!

You can't satisfy paranoia only feed it.
Though what THPP was complaining about during Hughton PL seasons when we didn't fanny about at the back, spent most of games in a low block and definitely were fighting relegation is a mystery I'm not putting in the effort to solve.

We cannot of course ignore the narrow, but oh so tantalising possibility that Facu's goals fire Leicester to safety at the expense of another relegation candidate. I wonder if reading this you have the same club in mind that I do

hmmm tuff one, I really hate united

Sad seeing him called LCFC’s when he is actually ours

Wasn’t it Tevez that compared him to Messi? Whilst he will prob get nowhere near those heights he’s certainly got the potential to be our best South America young recruit. Soon to have two years of Prem experience, still ridiculously young, and improving frighteningly fast.

There is undoubtably a bit of Messi about him. The guys I go with refer to him as “our Messi”. Gutted he’s not playing for us.

 

[Hugo Rune]

The club's summer spending spree clearly had one eye on some outgoings next summer. We bought a lot of young wingers and forwards for the conveyor belt.

It wouldn't surprise me to see a few of Mitoma, Estupiñán, João Pedro, Enciso, maybe even Baleba if he continues like this, head out the door.

Buonanotte will have his chance next season.

I’d add Georginio to the potential outs. I’ve just got a feeling that he is going get better and better and have an absolute flyer this season that will attract a lot of unwanted attention.

I think TB confirmed that we won’t be signing many players for the next few windows so your analysis is correct. I think we’ll be a selling club until at least 2026, probably 2027.

The reason he's not expecting us to be signing more players is because he's not expecting us to sell them either. If we start selling our best players, we'll need to replace them, and will obviously have the funds to do it.

If Georginio has an absolute flyer (I'm not expecting that) then perhaps that would mean we finish quite high, and if we made Europe there's no way Bloom would want our star performers to leave before the adventure.

Disagree, we will be hoping to bring back the loanees and promote the fringe players as we move our stars on, as long as the price is right

 

[Mancgull]

Got a feeling that Mitoma will be off, and probably Joao Pedro, at the end of this season.

What happens to the players out on loan this season if we don’t sell anyone?

We WILL be selling a few of our star players next summer if the big boys pay Bloom tax imo

Trust the process

If we were to qualify for Europe, Tony will be hoping the stars stay. But if they want to go, and the price is high enough, he may feel that he has to let them go.

If we let stars go to bring in the fringe players at the first opportunity, we can't progress.

But this is what we’ve been doing throughout the Premier League era. If we really wanted to progress, there’s no way Gross or Gilmour goes in the summer.

The fringe players on loan are playing top level football though? Goodnight and Barco COULD slot in seemlessly?

But if we do sell a few star players at high prices, then I'd expect us to bring more in too.

Not convinced, hence the players we have brought in this season who are nowhere near the first team yet, but they should be up to speed next season?

If Buonanotte and Barco are playing as well as our other players, then the rich boys will be trying to buy them too.

If we always sell our top players at the first time of asking, it'll be tough to challenge for Europe. That's not to say we'll never sell them, but we'll want them to play for us at the top level for a while too.
