[Albion] If Mitoma is injured, who will be our Japanese signing before the tour?

[Hugo Rune]

From a publicity perspective, I imagine the Japan tour would be slightly shit if we can't use Mitoma.

Instead of rushing him back I think we should just sign another Japanese player. They're cheap and there should be lots of gems. Lets find all of them.

Here's my candidate: Sota Kawasaki





Nominated for J1 League Young Player of the Year, recently started getting picked in Japanese national team squads (even playing a few unofficial friendlies).
As you can see he is a defensive midfielder with playmaking skills. Only real reason he's still in Japan is because he wanted to finish university, and now when he's graduated he's ready for us.

If his dissertation isn’t on something like ‘the art of tackling’ or ‘effective distribution from a deep lying midfielder’ then I’m afraid I’m out.

Views on Sugawara?

Yuito Suzuki playing for Brøndby here in Denmark. Been their best player in the run in. Signed for 500k so wouldn't cost a lot. Lovely bloke too.

Views on Sugawara?

Good player but no one is putting him as RB in a four man defence in the PL so would need to be as RWB or RW.

I was under the impression he is now fully fit.

Why?

 

[MJsGhost]

You are Swansman and i claim my prize

Have you got last week's lottery numbers while you're at it?

Why?

RdeZ said he would be available for pre-season………that’s as close as I’ve heard to ‘fully fit’…….
