Facundo Bounanotte - Loan agreed.

Oh I'm always correct Cup Cake as you well know.

Less than 10 appearances across all competitions this season is my educated guess.
Not a chance! He is effectively 4th choice behind Palmer, Pedro & Enzo. Just a waste of a loan, and I reckon he was bundled up in the Enciso transfer to Strasbourg.

What pisses me off is we could have fastracked Reggie Walsh into the first team, Dowman & Nguomho has already made their PL debuts. Instead we signed someone else that can’t get into the Brighton team.

 
I want to see the positive in this loan and if he gets on the pitch i hope we will. However i dont understand why we are loaning a player with no option or obligation to buy. We dont do this type of deal. Its normally done by poor clubs, small clubs or lower league clubs.

If we make someone else's player shine and he goes back at the end of season what was the point? maybe Brighton offer us an opportunity to buy at a very high price, seems odd. Not our usual style.

He is the emergency player. Kind of like smashing the glass to pickup the fire extinguisher. He is not in the CL squad because we know he will not play much for us. CC/FA and PL games in emergencies.

And that Enciso to Strasbourg stinks. They failed Enciso's medical and the board decided that they needed to rethink it and did a second medical that he, miraculously, passed. It's similar to how the mafia works.

None of the youth players could have become that emergency player? This signing was a waste of time. Even if he is an emergency player, he can't he be used in the Champions League if we do have an emergency, so what's the point?

You don’t need to pass a medical to get signed and if they feel the risks are worth it or manageable then they will still sign you even if you have a broken leg.

Nothing dodgy about it. I’m sure we were aware of Torres dodgy condition but still decided to go ahead with it.

You do need to pass a medical to be added to the clubs insurance policy.

They can pass you even if you didn’t actually pass the medical.

You can turn up with a broken leg and if they deem it not a huge risk going forward you will get passed and signed.

I doubt an insurance company is going to cover a signing that fails s medical, and you camt play an uninsured player.
A medical is just an assessment.

If a club wants to sign someone with a broken leg and add them to their policy they can. The pay out may be lower or whatever but they can still do it.

I don't think clubs are required to take out individual policies per player, their risk would be absorbed into the club policy as a whole no different to workers' compensation etc. I doubt very much that player medical data would be made available to insurance companies.

'Failing' is also highly subjective (eg Demba Ba, Loic Remy) as in most instances the assessment team just present a dossier to the management and they decide what to do - proceed, negotiate better fees etc.
