Facundo Buonanotte

[Cjay]

Reports coming out that we are in talks with Brighton over a loan move for the 18 year old Argentina International.

Initial reports from Argentina suggested a purchase option would be included but that would be a shock as he is rated very highly by Brighton and Roberto De Zerbi.

He is from the Rosario area if Argentina (same as Lionel Messi and Marcelo Bielsa) but started his career at the rivals of Newells Old Boys Rosario Central and is a boyhood fan of the latter.

Made his debut as a 17 year old and went on to manage 4 goals and 2 assists for his boyhood club before moving to Brighton.

He is a diminutive left footed winger (they like those in Argentina) whose equally as happy playing Central.

Known for his pace and close control he has been compared unsurprisingly to Argentina icon's Lionel Messi and Diego Maradona.

Looked a brilliant prospect a few times last season. He could rip up the Championship

Excellent footballer.

I'll believe it once he has signed on the dotted line, oh & when he has passed his medical.

Probably just another rumour.

As would Sinisterra & Summerville if they are prepared to stay & knuckle down at Leeds.

Sini, Summer, Gnonto & Buonanotte. Be half way decent I suppose

Can't see Gnonto ever playing for Leeds again, Jay.

There could be mileage in this rumour, as the local press are reporting it.

Brighton fans have some rude things to say about us
Tinpot is one
Another hates us.
And the funniest one “the championship is a great place for him to improve but they’d be my 24th choice”
Bloody seagulls. Annoying bastards

Think the loan does seem legit.

The purchase won't.

Small club with a ceiling and no history

But at present they operate on a different level to us.

Just how it is.

Guessing they hated our arrogance when we expected to sign Ben White permanently.

Yes, it stems back to Ben White sale, Brighton's official forum went into meltdown at that time.

Brighton always gets the fee they ask for, no club dictates their transfer deals.

Nah they've always hated us. They didn't want White to go to us on loan. Not sure what started it, but as with most Championship sides, completely one sided.

YEP says this rumour is "wide of the mark".

So that's that little glimmer of hope gone and back to naff all as we throw away yet another game vs Ipswich then . . . . . .

[Jaydog]

Fuckundo indeed.

[mentalcase]

If he's any good why are brighton not using him !!

Their fans hate us because everytime we go there we take over, been happening since the 80's when they entered the 2nd division from oblivion, also the homophobic chant thing.
f**k em, well, not literally, as that would be homophobic as well.

Because they have 600 alternatives. They’ve got an algorithm or something

I see we're again being linked with O'brien, we should have got him 3 seasons ago but baulked at the asking price, typical .

Seagulls made a couple of signings in that position.

Apparently, De Zerbi is unsure about allowing Buonanotte going out on loan.
