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

[Bakero]

Starting tonight for USG alongside Vanzeir.

 

[albionalex]

Would he qualify for a work permit yet?

Possibly recalled if Trossard is out of the picture?

 

[GingerBeerMan]

He's not ready get, completing his loan would be more beneficial. With Mitoma and Ferguson now in the mix, Trossard leaving won't be a huge loss.

 

[The Fits]

Looks a lot more ready than Enciso to me.

 

[Mancgull]

He is seriously quick. Ideally we'd let him see out the season at USG. Pretty sure he'll be in the first team squad next season.

 

[Juan Albion]

He left their last game after 13 minutes so I suspect he picked up a serious knock.

 

[Stat Brother]

Football internet's flabber will be well and truly agast if this lad turns out to be the real deal, what with him being an Ivorian called Simon.

We're already on thin ice with Ecuadorian Jeremy.

 

[Hugo Rune]

Looks as good as Mitoma did at USG:

 

[Zeberdi]

Just based on this one promo - He doesn’t seem to have Mitoma’s balance imo but incredibly fast sprints on the breaks and physically looks steam-roller powerful and very agile, so would be useful against tall defenders - be interesting to see how he pans out - worth watching.

 

[Papa Lazarou]

He doesn’t have Mitoma’s balance imo but incredibly fast on the breaks and physically looks steam roller-powerful, something we are maybe lacking a little of still - worth watching.

He is quite a bit younger, so there is time to develop in those areas.

 

[Change at Barnham]

He looks like a poor mans Wilf Zaha at the moment.
If we want him to become as productive as Zaha he will need to learn how and when to fall over to get free kicks and penalties.

 

[Zeberdi]

He is quite a bit younger, so there is time to develop in those areas.

sorry was still editing my post - (you were very quick to respond!) - but agree totally and USG a great club for our loanees to do that in.

 

[SweatyMexican]

Looks like a great addition. Can't wait to see him fly past players in the blue and white.

 

[Machiavelli]

I'll say what so many say: so one-footed. Except they don't say that when the player is right-footed, only when they're left-footed.

 

[Oh_aye]

Looks as good as Mitoma did at USG:

Blimey. He looks good there. I suppose it depends on whether they were considering integrating him in the summer. If so maybe a few months early wouldn't hurt. We will be light if Tross goes.

I like that little chop he has that seems to catch everyone out. Like Mitomas trademark little slowdown step/dummy before breezing past you. It looks like you SHOULD be able to stop it but no one can figure out quite how

 

[HastingsSeagull]

Going to be very good but think he needs to see out the season playing every game then come back here to push for playtime. Enciso may need a loan next season I agree as looks more a squad depth option at this stage (nothing wrong with that). For now we need Enciso backing up occasionally and settling in the squad.

Additionally I'd probably predict our new Argie having sporadic minutes to mean we don't recall Adingra yet. Like Enciso he might get more from being in the UK/Brighton and focused on training and being ready, rather than playing too much until next year. They can split that depth role you want Adingra for for now.

Simon Adingra made his international debut on Saturday, coming on as a half-time substitute for the Côte d'Ivoire in their 3-0 defeat in Zambia in an Africa Cup of Nations Group H qualifier (Enock Mwepu's younger brother Francisco was an unused sub for Zambia).

 

[BevBHA]

Strange to see Ivory Coast struggling so much these days… they used to be the team in Africa! Now they struggle to even qualify

That was Ivory Coasts first defeat of the qualifying stage and along with Zambia they’ve already qualified for the final stage from their group.

They’ve made the finals now in 4 of the last 5 AFCONs, the 2020 tournament being the exception.

But apart from all that they’re struggling…….
