[Albion] RDZ exploring the depth of his squad

[LamieRobertson]

Webster carrying a knock? When? Thought he’d recovered from the injury that kept him out for a few matches

 

[Zeberdi]

Left back cover?

I agree this is probably one position we need to get deeper cover for - that was clear to me in the Liverpool game. Also why RDZ and Monaco were so keen on Matviyenko - (but not keen to get fleeced). Colwill hopefully (and Webster back to full fitness!) will be back from injury as soon as until then.

I suspect this will be revisited with serious intent in the summer window - if not Matviyenko then another specialist LCB - however, I would be willing to guess, ’links’ are ongoing with various potential recruits anyway (maybe even with Chelsea for an extended loan of Colwill?) since this is one of the positions RDZ has recently highlighted as a key to developing the team.

Having watched a couple of utubes of Buonanotte playing in Argentina I am not surprised he has gone straight in and imo will be better than either of those players.

If true that would be amazing, given how good those 2 are. would you agree he's more a Mac Allister replacement than Caicedo?

I would say he's his own player, he just "ghosts" past players with pace as well as all the usual, shoot pass etc.

Left back cover?

Probably Colwill, but Solly can do a job there as well. Not ideal, but it would give Buonanotte a chance on the right wing.

Definitely Mac Allister in his current positioning (and as in WC) - Caideco is more a central double pivot role/defensive MF (at least how Brighton have been using him), Buonanotte is an Central AM (but could play WB too) which is what he was at Rosario.

He is already better than Mac Allister was when we signed him in 2019 - and has the potential to be better by next season than Mac Allister is now imo.

I wouldn't be surprised in the Summer for a deal of Colwill plus cash for Moises

Buonanotte seems to heavily favour his left foot at the moment so perhaps not ideal to play him as an inverted winger in RDZs 4-2-3-1 or 4-1-2-3 - ( as, like RDZ expects of March) he would be expected to come inside a lot. RDZ seemed happy to play him as a CAM on Saturday
