[Albion] Kaoru Mitoma

[Munchkin]

Have a horrible feeling this will only end up one way. The wages he will be offered will be life changing.

If we can get £70m I’m sure both parties will come away happy.

Wide areas is the one position we are well stocked and that’s a huge amount for a 29 year old.

 

[The Fits]

I wonder if he would want to go there, no matter the wages. I’m not sure he’s the sort. A hunch.

He turns 28 in May

 

[Flounce]

I will be STUNNED if he wants to play there, whatever the wages.

Of all our players I’d have him down as the most unlikely to be chasing the money

It’s not as if I even vaguely know him though

 

[macbeth]

I will be absolutely crestfallen if we sell him

 

[Pevenseagull]

Surely he's not ready to retire?

 

[Beanstalk]

Christ alive, I'm not sure how the club say no to this...

 

[macbeth]

Christ alive, I'm not sure how the club say no to this...

he’s gone. not a chance in hell they reject that.

It's fairly easy if he doesn't want to go

 

[Flounce]

Probably wouldn’t but Kaoru might well say “no f***ing way” (in Japanese)

 

[Beanstalk]

Well then Mr. Mitoma would be saying no wouldn't he?

I think the club have to accept that and leave it up to the player. Heartbreaking if it happens.

 

[Springal]

He’s gone

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

For me it all depends on the player, if he wants to go and the offer is 90m no way we say no.

If he's not interested it's an easy decision as he would just turn them down anyway.

 

[Milano]

That's how much we take in Mitoma 22 shirt sales on a Saturday, so bollocks.
Seriously though I'd be Knockhart level gutted if he goes this window. However if these wankers did offer £90m = no chance we're turning that down.

I posted yesterday my thoughts on the UCL, my thoughts on this BS going on in Saudi isn't printable.

 

[dwayne]

Don't want him to go obviously but gonna be slightly annoying next season when arsenal or the like come in with a 30 mill bid and we have to sell as player wants out to them.

Saying that the saudis surely wouldn't bother bidding unless they know he's interested

 

[Withdean South Stand]

That will mean Adingra playing regularly on the left wing, which is where he wants to be. I suspect his output will be better than Kaoru, but will be less impactful for us in Japan.

 

[MJsGhost]

Christ alive, I'm not sure how the club say no to this...

The absolute STATE of some of the comments there... 'fans' of Arsenal begging for them to be 'involved' in the Saudi's throwing their money around

I know it's some armchair fan/follower/fcukwit from some far flung corner of the globe who has never even thought about visiting Europe, let alone the Emirates, but WHAT IS THE POINT?

"pls involve us"

 

[The Fits]

I’m actually going to change my mind and say any fee of around 90 we simply can’t refuse it.
That would be insane imho.

I'm sure this is a big consideration for the club - we get a lot of Japanese eyeballs on the club, purely because of Mitoma. Probably adds £20m to the club's valuation.

Great point.
The club will be thinking this. Always the intention to sell him but it won’t be at this price.
