Buonanotte ????? . some
Shocking business at the back end of this window. completely undone all the good work to begin with. glad our SDs got extentions cos theyd struggle getting a job elsewhere. absolutely clueless.

It’s impossible for the manager or the SD’s to make us all happy.
I can’t say I have noticed this lad playing for Brighton or Leicester.

Who is Buonanotte and why do we need him. I did say the SDs would revert to type and screw things up in the last week of the window.
29 Aug 2025 17:03:28
I just cannot understand why we are loaning him, not even an option, just does not make any sense at all.
29 Aug 2025 17:05:14
Jimbo I too don't know who Buonanotte is also having not seen him play so I have no idea if we need him or not.
Think the SD's have had a good window apart from Garnacho but as with everything time will tell.

What an extraordinary move to get this player on loan having pulled out of Simons deal. Does this mean we won't be poursuing either Lopez or Rogers ie someone who might seem to be a genuine possible contender for much first team action? Surely keep Desbury -Hall if not getting someone demonstrably better?
Anyway has anyone - perhaps you Ed001 - watched him play or even noticed him befor now? Quick online scan frevealshe has played some games for Brighton and not scored many goals and made 2 appearances for Argentina (no goals) and three for Argentina under 20s (One goal) . described as a winger in some places and attacking midfielder in others. Yet another winger?! No CN or GK and no attacking left sided midfielder of proven quality? Well he will have Garnacho and Enzo F as fellow Argentinians at CFC but what do people think is going on here?
{Ed001's Note - he was on loan at Leicester last season, struggled to get in their team.}

I couldn’t be bothered watching much football played last season by teams at the bottom end of the table and that included the likes of Utd and the spuds unless they were playing us of course. I don’t remember him playing for Brighton the season before and I assume he played against us as he seemed to play a lot of games that season.
Do we have an option?

JBS, from what I understand we never actually made an offer for Simons but I would have preferred him to Garnacho ( or frankly anyone ) . Buonanotte made 13 appearances for Leicester ( no doubt some as sub) which just about sums it up. I wonder whose idea that was? I thought our transfer window was a 7 out of 10 obviously gone down now.

Straight loan Tom which makes this one even more ricidilous.
Lost the plot springs to mind.

Thanks Ed001 and Jimbo for your info. makes this loan deal ever stranger though as with all incoming will hope he can make some positive contributions!

I’m not sure whose reports are accurate. One of the earlier reports said Brighton would only allow a straight loan. That would make me think we wanted to buy him or at least a loan with an obligation.

According to one site FB played about 35 games for Leicester last season and a similar amount of games for Brighton the season before. Given the comments above I assume that a lot of those appearances were as a substitute.
I will be seeing a bloke next week who is a Chelsea supporter but as he lives in Brighton and goes to some of there games he can give me his view on the lads ability.
The structure of the loan deal might also prove to be interesting.
