[Albion] Simon Adingra - 20 year old Ivory Coast forward - Signed 24/06/2022

[Shuggie]

He starts. It's live on BBC3. Kick-off 8pm.

 

[Gabbiano]

If you mean spending an extended period of time celebrating in his home country, and missing important league and cup matches in the process, I f**cking hope not!

That would constitute an intermediate period before the welcome home!

But a proper club celebration of the achievement should be in order - winning a continental cup is no small thing even if it's not a WC.

First though Cote d'Ivoire have a couple more matches to win.

Incredibly insular comments here with more than a whiff of cutting off noses to spite faces.

SA returning as an AFCON winner, irrespective as to when that is, comes back an even better player.
Quite why anyone wouldn't want that is a little baffling.

 

[Dick Swiveller]

Given that he would presumably have to stay for the third place match at the weekend, he will be available for Sheff Utd. Even without this match, he would have travelled on Thursday at the earliest and it is unlikely that he would have started at Spurs. Getting ever closer to everyone being there, bar Solly.

I presume you haven't been on here long enough to get my reference. Maybe check out the Gold thread

Edit - or not. I was sure that would be in there.

 

[Home and Away]

Come on, Simon!

Agree, but would go further. Irrespective of whether or not it makes him a better player for brighton I just want him to win. He seems like a good lad. Works hard. Had an interesting path to where he is. And is one of us. That's enough for me. Go Simon!

 

[Hugo Rune]

Really enjoying watching our boy. Currently the Ivory Coast’s most threatening player.

 

[brighton_tom]

Playing well. Nearly scored.

Well said. He's one of us. That should be enough. The pettiness of the comments here is incredible

 

[London Irish]

Well our boy is head and shoulders best player on the pitch currently

 

[Sheebo]

Let’s hope he loses and is back for Sat …

 

[Terry Butcher Tribute Act]

Let’s hope he loses and is back for Sat …

3rd place play off, sadly

 

[Thunder Bolt]

A bizarre goal, but they all count.

 

[chaileyjem]

Adingra taking the corners I see - but if nothing changes - he’s headed to the final.

 

[chaileyjem]

Final is CDV v Nigeria at 8pm on Sunday on that BBC Three if DRC can’t get back into this in next 15 mins

 

[Sheebo]

3rd place play off, sadly

Hope he wins and wins the thing then

 

[chaileyjem]

Adingra was subbed off a few minutes ago. Ivory Coast still 1-0 up.

 

[Hugo Rune]

I like the look of the No.27 for Ivory Coast, USG’s Amani.

 

[highflyer]

Adingra was subbed off a few minutes ago. Ivory Coast still 1-0 up.

He looked like he was tiring. Was happy to see him have a good game and go off uninjured. Nice we will get to see him in the final now.

 

[Winker]

That Haller is a bit of a donkey, should have had a hat-trick.
