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

[ChickenBaltiPie]

It was WONDERFUL to see the three kids come on and play like they did…Everyone keeps commenting on how impressive our ‘current’ first eleven is, with the assumption that ‘when’ we lose Pervis, Alexis, Mitoma, Caicedo (Lallana & Colwill) that it’ll be back to BAU (survival) BUT…PVH, Fergie, Jeremy, Enciso & Buenanotte!!

 

[Weststander]

He appears to be a genius with the ball, unperturbed by experienced opponents bearing down on him, a conjurer in tight spaces.

The last time I saw that in debut performances from a newbie Albion player was way back …. by Mitoma.

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

..like the FA Cup game of the past week

..like the FA Cup game of the past week

Yes. More than just that one game preferably though.

 

[LamieRobertson]

Yes. More than just that one game preferably though.

Another cup game coming up…….how long has he been with us?

 

[SeagullsoverLondon]

Yes. More than just that one game preferably though.

Well there's the quarter final, semi final and final for him to start in then. That's 3!

Facu started against Stoke when March was out - he can play on either wing.

However, he seems happier to me playing in CAM as a no 10 (with Mac playing deeper with Caceido?) which is what he played at Rosario.

Nobody needs to be dropped for Buonanotte or Sarmiento or Enciso - all these young players can be regularly rotated in as subs and also start to cover injuries/match bans.

Eventually players like Mackie and Mitoma will be moving on - these youngsters are building up game time and experience to be in a position to replace them - we are a team constantly in transition- already Pervis is proving better that Cucu, Caceido is better than Biss - none of it was overnight though.

He’s clearly a high quality player

Never doubt it

Amazing we have two BHA players named in the same squad as Messi for the national Argentinian team!

 

[The Fits]

Everyone just take a moment.
A key player in Argentina's World Cup success, and what appears to be their most highly regarded 18 year old. At Brighton.
Let that sink in.
Incredible really.

First face I saw when I opened twitter this morning was ALexis'

Amazing

 

[Papa Lazarou]

Buonanotte didn't make the bench.

 

[Joey Jo Jo Jr. Shabadoo]

Buonanotte didn't make the bench.

Didn’t they call up something like 35 players for this international window?

For someone like Buonanotte this will be more about the experience of training with the senior squad and seeing how he does in that company than necessarily getting him game time. It’s a huge learning opportunity for such a young lad and just training with their senior players he’ll gain valuable knowledge.

So all we need now is for Mac and Facu to convince Messi to join us and it's jobs a good'un.

Never mind 'pride of the south coast', we'll be 'pride of South America' if any more come and SING!

Could do a job

Buonanotte didn't make the bench.

I wouldn‘t be too disappointed about that

He’s part of the squad so the fact he is not on the bench is by and by - he will learn a great deal (and get a lot of inspiration) from intensive training with the first team.

I think it’s also great for him to continue to be acknowledged by his home Country as the notable young talent he undoubtedly is - to progress from being capped for the international U21s (who’s probably already had some training overlap with the first team) to being called up to the first team squad is a brilliant career validation for any young player imo.

Do they play another game in this window?
