[Albion] Adingra: not satisfied, wants a loan

Bozza · Dec 23, 2024

...according to a French outlet.

RC Lens : une belle opportunité mercato à Brighton !

Will Still, entraîneur du RC Lens, veut au moins un renfort offensif lors du mercato de janvier. Privé de Martin Satriano et de Rémy Labeau-Lascary jusqu'à la fin de saison, le coach lensois qui doit également composer avec un Wesley Saïd qui enchaîne les pépins physiques, est obligé de bricoler...

Part of me doesn't blame him, but then again part of me questions why he's not hit the gym? He's too lightweight. Whereas Ensico, Ali Mac, Goodnight, March, etc did something about it, he still looks lightweight 2 years on. He's in the wrong league IMO. I wouldn't loan him, I'd sell him.

Han Solo · Dec 23, 2024

Understandable.

He needs to be starting games and there's no chance he'll be a starter as long as Mitoma is around.

Just loaned my car
It's now in Côte d’Ivoire

Loan is pointless, better to sell and march takes his place

Greg Bobkin · Dec 23, 2024

Although it's great having a squad of real quality, this scenario is always going to happen, I guess. It must be difficult for some of the guys from last season (Enciso, Adingra, even Ferguson, to a point) to accept the role that they are playing. I guess some of it comes down to the change in manager, but also trying to introduce the new guys in.

A nice problem to have in terms of the quality available to choose from but, from a man-management point of view, a facking nightmare, I would imagine!

Being harsh, he could start by playing better, I suppose. Last season he was often an impact sub but this time round he hasn't really taken too many of the opportunities that have come his way. There was his cross for Joao Pedro's winner against Manchester United, but not too much else?

Agreed …plus doesn’t track back enough…maybe I’m doing him an injustice

He’s not alone in that though, could say the same about our left back!

Scored the third at Everton

March has played 25 minutes of reserve football and then disappeared.

There’s a good chance Mitoma goes in the summer. Loan for Adingra to get him ready to compete for that spot seems sensible.

Footballers must be the only breed in civilisation that want to work.
Me, heck as long as I got paid on a Friday I'd be happy sitting on the bench every Saturday.
But I guess soldiers are the same. Train hard for months and reach their prime fitness only to be shoved in some country in the world to keep the peace.

Every young player worth their salt is hungry for more playing time. That's how it should be. How to manage those expectations, as you say, must be a facking nightmare. So many of last season's starlets suddenly sidelined. It must be a seismic shift in their sense of who they are and where they fit in.

Taking the positives, looks like Barco might be heading back our way in January. It's not really working out for him at Sevilla. Fingers crossed that new guy rates him

Without looking at the stats with March and Mitoma missing most of the season I would say he basically started almost every game from November onwards. Thought he looked absolutely knackered at the end of the season so was willing to give the benefit of the doubt but hasn’t kicked on at all this season when the chances have come.

The problem for him last season was that he wasn't an impact sub. Because of the all the injuries we had he basically never got a rest.

Playing football for a living is work! News to me. 40 years ago I'd have swapped with any footballer that didn't want to 'work'!

Agreed.
I’ve been quite critical of him, post AFCON, about 3-4 decent games since then, even when he was playing in his ‘favoured’ position when Mitoma was out.

If clubs allegedly pay a premium in January, I’d be tempted to cash in.

drew · Dec 23, 2024

I would think the real problem is that he sees Minteh ahead of him in the pecking order. Whilst I think Minteh played better than he has when he came on against WHU, I could understand why Adingra would have been pissed off in the matches before that!! That said, I agree with most sentiments in that he hasn't grasp opportunities when they did come along.

No you're not wrong. Not doing enough coming forward and a little bit lazy and lightweight when opposition have possession.

March ? May see him in FA cup game if lucky. If not that game, then won’t be for a while yet
