Having watched his latest YouTube compilation it appears he also specialises in outside-of-the-boot crosses, which seals the deal for me.

Great song potential:

It's Kaoru Mitoma, it's Kaoru Mitoma
It's Kaoru!
Football's Kaoru Mitoma!

Kaoru Mitoma!
What a wonderful phase,
Kaoru Mitoma!
He ain't no passing craze
It means no worries
For the rest of your days
It's our problem-free philosophy
Kaoru Mitoma!

Is the visa process still 3 years in Belgium? If so, I find this one a bit odd. I do not doubt his talent, but I am surprised at Albion essentially signing a 27 year old unproven winger by the time he pulls on the stripes. It goes against our usual recruitment process like Tau did.

He won't need a Belgian visa, he will need to meet the Work Permit criteria for England. As Japan are currently ranked in the top 50 Fifa rankings, a year of playing regularly for the national team should do it, along with regular appearances for USG. Don't think playing in the Olympics will make any difference as its an U23 competition.

I've always found this the oddest of phrases, who the hell would put their cap under their belt? Irrespective of the fact that the FA don't dish out caps anymore anyway. :facepalm:

If you play for England over 50's or Over 60's you still get one (but you have to pay for it :blush:)

Blimey! Celtic are going to love us, aren't they - first we sell Ryan off to Spain, not Glasgow, now we appear to have nipped in ahead of them for this Mitoma laddie. Plus we gave their arch rivals, Rangers, two if the best CBs in the SPL, and now we're lending young talent to the rest of the top SPL teams.

And in top of that - we lent them Duffy!

They might now not be as receptive as I’d have hoped when we come knocking for Edouard.
