It's very depressing, and it's happening to all outside the top eight, with Palace getting the attention this season. I think our trophy was a top-six finish and the Europa League, far better than the League Cup.

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

Nonsense. Last season he often kept the ball and was hard to knock off it. He certainly wasn't 'always easily knocked off the ball' as you suggest.
This ended after his first half dozen games for the club or so, similar to Enciso.

But yet the tag sticks.
Just lucky the likes of Harry Kane aren’t judged on how they played as an 18 year old. Saying that, he never scored and assisted in the Premier League and played 75mins in a draw against a team like Man City when he was that age!

I think that yesterday’s game shows that we need to keep a creative player, like Facundo.
It’s ok playing an intense, aggressive press and having the players to do this such as Minteh, Adingra etc but sometimes you need a player who can pick a pass.
I think Osman looks like a player who would benefit from a loan.

Sadly some fans can only retain and post opinions on players based on when they first saw them...

If anyone watched the first few games of 18yr old Harry Kane and said 'looks like a future England captain, but doubt he'll ever win a trophy', who knew they'd be right!

I think Enciso learned quicker, but yes. Buonnanotte is reminding me of young Solly March in terms of his progression, it isn't linear, and sometimes frustrates because his performance can be variable, but on the whole he is improving, and on a good day he is great.
We've completely lost our minds if we loan him to saints

Not so sure.
Obviously better if he doesn't play against us, but he's a year at least from being a consistent top half PL performer. If someone else is willing to make that investment for us, then fine. It's like when Chelsea loaned us Colwill. I bet the Saints fans won't like it.
The issue will be if there is any permanent move clause

This is the article about the loan agreement with Feyenoord. Sounds like they're just waiting for Buonanotte to decide what he wants to do. Clubs, wages, agreement all done...doesn't sound like Southampton interest that concrete.

Buonanotte kiest tussen Feyenoord en Premier League
Feyenoord en Brighton & Hove Albion sloten afgelopen week een huurovereenkomst over Facundo Buonanotte af. De rechtsbuiten annex aanvallende middenvelder is daarbuiten ook persoonlijk rond met de Rotterdammers, maar houdt zijn kaarten op tafel: het lijkt nu te gaan tussen Eredivisie voetbal óf...

wish these flurry of headline accounts on Twitter would link to the article and journalism they're quoting.
Indeed. I think I've written somewhere else, his toughness and willingness to get stuck in is one of his main attributes. Somewhat surprisingly. I feel that side of his game has progressed more than his effectiveness on the ball to be honest!
Interesting one regarding Southampton… I’m torn. He’ll be worth a hell of a lot more if he performs well for them regularly in the Premier League than if he did the same in the Eridevisie. But the thought of him helping keep them up is not one I like
Looks like he's going on loan, one way or another. It would be quite a sign of our progress if we start loaning out players to other PL clubs - and it wouldn't be too bad for him to spend a year in Rotterdam either!This is the article about the loan agreement with Feyenoord.
