[Albion] Facundo Buonanotte - SIGNED for 1.8 billion pesos

[The Wizard]

One thousand eight hundred million pesos

 

[Joey Jo Jo Jr. Shabadoo]

Not sure he is old enough to move here yet?

He turns 18 in December so will be old enough by the time the transfer becomes official when the January window opens.

You laugh now. The pound is going that way too!

 

[Hugo Rune]

A lot of money plus a 20% sell on fee, we must think he is the real deal.

Tevez’s quoted comparisons to Messi about the lad make me very, very excited!

Where do these youngsters live over here . In hotels with family or does the club provide a house ?

Lads aged 18 and under usually have a host family to look after them. Club has a few apartments they put players up in too.

Mario Kempis played for Rosario…. He was half decent.

More recently Di Maria and Lo Celso are probably the most well known players to have come from Rosario Central.

As a members club it's great how Rosario Central breakdown how they will invest their lump sum.

The problem is nobody actually believes them lol In fact the most common theory is that the President really wanted to push the sale through before December because it'd mean he'd get to steal more money before leaving (Rosario Central has elections in December and it's very unlikely he'll win reelection).

It's kind of well known here in Argentina that club presidents are generally pretty corrupt and there's a trend of big lumps of transfer fees disappearing

Also Alexis' brother Francis plays for Rosario Central so they might be familiar with each other already. If he doesn't go on loan hopefully Alexis helps him settle in

 

[Zeberdi]

Interestingly he owns a Italian passport, so that opens doors to a EU loan move…

and presumably will allow him to be capped for Italy at some point if he chose - if he hasn’t played internationally yet?

 

[Icy Gull]

Is this Winstanley’s farewell present?

 

[GingerBeerMan]

Now he's signed, shouldn't we amend the thread title to spell his name correctly?

I believe our new boy and Franny-Mac play in central midfield together. I’m sure Franny-Mac would have ‘sold the shit out of us’ and our own Mac will mentor the boy when he arrives.

The great news for those of us who love visiting the continent is, it isn’t.

Will he get a work permit / GBE thingy? Someone on here usually seems to know! Enciso had played international football but I don't think this kid has.

yes he would. needs 15 points. has definitely played over 80% of minutes for Rosario, which is 7 points. And they're a band 3 club, so simply playing for them gets him 8 points. which reaches the magic 15 without any trouble

New Work Permit Requirements For Players Moving To English Clubs Post-Brexit

By James Nalton. From January 1, 2021, new rules come into place regarding the transfer of overseas players to the English Premier League and the English Football League (EFL). These will replace existing work permit recommendation processes, as English clubs will not be able to sign players...

Yep, who needs £40 million strikers.

Plays with Francis Mac Allister at Rosario Central, so hopefully he's already got a bit of support here

Club news feed is very quiet. Maybe the Finance department are still trying to find a calculator with enough noughts to work out the exchange rate.

Shirley they can just use the "undisclosed fee" excuse

It’s possible they didn’t want to say anything yet but were forced to by the selling club releasing the information hence the couple of hours delay in saying anything. Most of the time both parties release the information together.

man, whoever manages Rosario Central's Twitter account chose pretty much the least flattering picture imaginable
