Didn't the Japanese call us out for playing Mito a when he was 'injured'?
I can't remember....I thought he became crocked on international duty.

Of course, in hindsight it was probably the case that RDZ flogged our player into injury (presumably contributing to his sacking)

Not 'we'. The Irish national selectors.
True.

Surely he's ready now though. As I mentioned on another thread, if he's fit enough to sit on the bench, he's fit enough to play.

These youngsters nowadays. Made of paper!

Is this glandular fever rumour pure speculation generated by NSC which has become fact in some people's heads? Based on him looking a bit peaky and glum during his very occasional appearances on the pitch last season? I have my own theories about that, but don't wish to speculate and be guilty of spreading false rumours myself 😏.
???

"occasional appearances"?

He featured in all but 5 first team matches last season up to and including Liverpool at the end of March.

He has never looked the same player for us since the injury at Chelsea (which should have been a pen and potentially a red) which short term cost us an FA Cup final and longer term a ~£100m player looking anything but. Whether that was due to injurt, illness, tactics, or perhaps a mix; who knows but we'll find out soon I think.

I REALLY hope that he is now ready. I think that the club must think so otherwise I believe that we would have signed a #9 this summer.
Is Rutter No 9 ?

For me, the jury is out on the lad. Hopefully he'll prove me wrong and start banging them in. When he was playing I didn't see enough movement in the box, intelligent runs, or hold up play. Then again, he may not have suited the RDZ system.
With Mitoma, Minteh, Estupinian and Kadioğlu pinging crosses into the box Evan Ferguson will soon start looking like Alan Shearer again rather than Chris O'Grady.

How does Evan Ferguson function in a team where the central striker is supposed to make runs from a midfield position and get it while moving, rather than station up somewhere in the penalty box and wait for a cross or pass?

Will be interesting to see. Danny Welbeck is a very good runner, quick and rarely ends up offside.

I hope Fergie can play like that, but competition from more mobile strikers like Welbeck and Enciso is going to be rough.
