[Albion] Kaoru Mitoma [27/2/24 - possibly out for the rest of the season]

[HangletonGull]

Does, we had a look at options and they all weren’t very good.

Wasted time with trying to sign Leicesters best player that we never where going to get

 

[Mancgull]

Any detail about the injury? Thought it was a minor back injury and he’d be back for Roma.

 

[Uh_huh_him]

Does, we had a look at options and they all weren’t very good.

Apart from the one we couldn't complete in time

 

[WhingForPresident]

Out for the season?! Bloody hell, I assumed he was just being rested for a niggle or something. Massive loss.

Brighton manager Roberto De Zerbi on their injury issues: "I'm not frustrated, this can happen in football. The situation has not changed from September until now. We work with enthusiasm and pride, and try to transform problems into opportunities. If you ask me what is the target, it is to compete. We don't worry, because tomorrow we fight to try to win the game."

Sounds just like Klopp!

Thank goodness for RDZ. Got me out of my slump already. Fantastic to see such a pragmatic but also positive attitude. Also Roberto is right these injuries are opportunities for other players.

Just been confirmed on TS

 

[SI 4 BHA]

Nightmare. That ONLY leaves us with

Enciso
Adingra
Welbeck
Fati
Lamptey
Buonanotte

who can play out wide. Can't believe we didn't buy more players.

Welbeck "doubtful" apparently, according to RDZ

Oh my fu—ing god

Who else should we have signed?

 

[peterward]

Wonderful.

Mitoma out for the season, Hinshelwood out for the season, Gilmore 3 game ban. Didn't take long for the clubs lack of investment in January to backfire did it.

Gilmour can still play away in Rome.

He'll miss Wolves in cup, Fulham away and Forest Home.

Games that Baleba should be able to step up in

 

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

Welbeck "doubtful" apparently, according to RDZ

Damn. Leaves us 5 players to fit 2 positions. That simply doesn't work.

 

[Hugo Rune]

I think Mitoma and Pedro are our best forward players. I’m not sure we have much of a chance of silverware without them. At least Pedro is back but those folk who have a Dublin booking might want to cancel asap.

 

[jackalbion]

Apart from the one we couldn't complete in time

Yes, we signed him after the window closed but all signs indicated he'd be loaned straight back out anyway. Even if we had signed him, that would have meant two places for:

Fati, Mitoma, Enciso, Adingra, Osman. We had enough, its just very unfortunate. The big problem was that we didn't sign a DM, injuries to the forwards are unfortunate.

 

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

Luck?

March, Hinshelwood, Mitoma now out for the season - But we've added Barco to train up, so everything's working out to plan.

If you say so..

Breaking news. Football squad suffers some injuries.

I've had a look historically and, get this, we have suffered AT LEAST one player injury EVERY SEASON in our history.

It's a staggering stat, I'm sure you'll agree. We just have no luck in this area. PANIC.

 

[MJsGhost]

In a kind of 'if we can't have you. nobody can' way.

If you want to see it that way, be my guest, but my perspective isn't quite so f***ing miserable.

I just mean that Mitoma out injured for the rest of the season raises concerns for buying clubs who might then not be prepared to pay what Bloom would consider accepting. A Mitoma MoM performance in Dublin would have seen him gone for sure.

In case it wasn't clear enough from my post above (it was), I don't think this injury is a good thing, but I am trying to dredge up a positive spin from losing one of our best players for a couple of months (hopefully nothing more).

Club shop will be quieter on match days.

Unfortunate or a little naive?

Injuries at this stage of the season, especially when competing on three fronts are sadly inevitable.

Throw in the fact we had Mitoma & Adringra competing at international tournaments amidst that & Enciso returning from a really nasty injury, it seemed obvious that we'd likely need an extra body or two in the frontline for the run-in.

 

[JOLovegrove]

Awful news.

Probably means we don't sell him in the summer though...

 

[HangletonGull]

Who else should we have signed?

That’s why I don’t get paid the big money , surley the datebase the club has there must of been others in the radar

 

[Surf's Up]

Can I blame Mason Holgate for this
