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

[Milano]

I think a lot of people are forgetting this fact. Expecting a kid of 18 to come in and perform at a top EPL level week in week out is fanciful. Give him time.

Which is why he should be out on loan, IMO he’s not ready yet to play no10 for a top 6 EPL team and he’s clearly not a winger.
His assist Sunday was class but what else did he do? It’s like praising a defender for one very good tackle if he is then a bit of a passenger. Which is why he was subbed.
I like him, I just hope the reasons that he had to be involved so early end up as a positive for him long term and don’t wreck him.

Agreed and maybe he should be on loan, however with the amount of injuries we have I am glad we did not loan him

Did you see our bench on Sunday? It was practically a creche. Where he is, he will get valuable experience both with us and Argentina.

We're getting from Facu exactly what we should be expecting to get. We should be expecting, from a highly promising, but very young and inexperienced player, flashes of what he can do.

He can't take control of a game, he can't win physical battles, he can't adapt his game to be dispossessed, he can't execute his skills consistently. But that is normal. 18 year olds in this league generally can't do those things.

In two or three years time, there's a chance he will be able to do these things. But this is the time frame fans should be working towards. It could be more like 5 or 6 years. Or even longer. Think Solly. Could the 18 year old Solly be performing at this level? Even the 23 year old Solly?

What he can do is show us glimpses of his undoubted talent.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Top top player in a year or 2

You are Harry Redknapp and I claim my five pounds.

 

[Napper]

He was better on Sunday but his pace still let him down particularly when he was favorite for the ball when chasing back but instead pace cost him and he had to give away a foul. Pace isnt something that can be improved but hopefully when he gets stronger he can compensate this.

He has shown 2 or 3 glimpses though.

He just won't be this sort of player.

In this trajectory he could get to the style and level of MacAllister in 5 or 6 years. Lack of pace hasn't done him too much harm

RDZ sees something in him that many of us fail to see for whatever reason

I imagine part of that is seeing him in training daily. But RDZ knows FC has to show it on the pitch too.

He has played for Argentina , only one game, but they must see something as well.

 

[Wardy's twin]

Thought he was doing ok, especially in the centre and unlucky with the bounce of ball when he tried to shoot .

 

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

I like him. He shows flashes of the player he could be and that player looks amazing to me. It's also true that those flashes are currently few and far between and when he plays he doesn't have much, if any, impact.

Given time I am convinced he's going to turn into an excellent player.

 

[Knocky's Nose]

I'm not convinced he should be in the first team right now. Personally I'd loan him to a Championship club to rough him up a bit, then bring him back and smooth him off.

I know he's not a wooden carving btw, but you get my drift.

 

[Zeberdi]

oh dear - did you not see the match on Sunday? Or at least read the live blog/ match reports?

A great effort on goal and the assist

BBC rated him above Gross, Veltman, Dahoud and Beleba - and only 0.05 below Mitoma

It was his best performance of the season (and I said that after the Ajax game at home too - so he is continuing to improve exponentially (as I said he was then!)

With Andy Townsend, they cornered the market on sh1t cliches.

[Washie]

I thought him coming off for Mitoma and swapping Adingra to the right is what screwed us in the second half

 

[slimes]

Played really well Sunday..
Tactical sub because of yellow..

Read my last sentence.

He will get there earlier than MacAllister did - he is better than Mackie was at 18 years too - his lack of pace is what makes him a CAM not a winger - that and his stop/start acceleration, balance and dribbling.

I’m not disagreeing. I just hope that he’s not had his confidence destroyed before then. He should be out on loan at a team where he’d play in that position 3 games out of 4 and have more than a fleeting impact, because he has the potential to be excellent but he isn’t YET, and I don’t think 45 mins here and there mainly out of position is helping much, because from my memory he impacted the game TWICE in 45 minutes, the rest of the time he was anonymous and that’s against one of the worst 3 teams in the division.

Had we not had these injuries then he wouldn’t be in the match day squad anyway, and I do not believe that the club would have expected to have so many injuries at once so I’m not sure what the plan for him was this season?

 

[Jaxie]

Personally think he’ll be equivalent to last seasons Mac Allister/Caicedo impact. Maybe next season, maybe even towards the end of this season. Encisos early appearances last season hardly set the world alight and then look what happened.

Just curious, those that would rather he went out on loan what club would you realistically hope he go to?
