4 goals and 6 assists from right back this season in less than 30 games. 6 million euros suggested.
Certainly an attacking RB - maybe would mean Lampety moving on?

 

[Milano]

Get him and keep Mitoma and they’ll need to start serving noodles on the concorse and build an extension on the club shop!

 

[RandyWanger]

Would help boost ticket sales for the Japan tour

 

[Commander]

This is the backup plan in case Mitoma isn't fit / is sold before the tour, yes?

 

[sparkie]

Would mean the Japan tour wouldn't be a waste of time if we sell Mitoma.

 

[Marshy]

Looks a lovely footballer to be fair, we are desperate for a right back IMO.

Its a BIG YES from Marshy

 

[Springal]

Dutch league though…

And Mitoma came from Belgian League... he's rather decent...

 

[Eeyore]

I thought Sussex had signed another overseas player

He came from the Japanese league. We just loaned to USG.

The top six all have recognised specialist fullbacks of high quality. Not since Bruno have we done this. Yes, Veltman, Lamperty and even Gross can do an okay job filling in at r/b but if we want to fight for Europe next season we have to buy a proper right back

Apparently he's also an expert at origami.

I'm sure we'll hear more about this as the transfer story unfolds.

thats not the point. As you say he was playing in Belgium.

Im just suggesting the league they come from is not always relevant to how decent they are.

 

[Ali_rrr]

Dutch league though…

I would say defenders tend to be better from the Dutch league than attackers. They seem to adapt quicker than forwards.

It's so weird nobody ever brought up Mitoma wrote a thesis on dribbling.

Does anyone remember when there were transfer "windows" and when the fact that some ransom journo, you tuber, spotty oik in his bedroom didnt post some probably made up crap and everyone didnt go nuts because we are "linked" with a previously unkown player that may or may not have been thrown up by Tonys algorithms as potentially wortth a look at?

No, me niether, but its going to get a lot worse over the coming three months. As has been shown time and again, the vast majority of "links" are at best an educated guess, but usually speculation and just simply made up to get clicks

The leap from the player MAY leave Alkmaar to anyone of a nuuimber of clubs to "this means Mitoma is being sold" is at the very least tenuous and premature.

Wouldnt it be nice to go back to the days when the signing reveal or player sold reveal were actually surprises rather than being foreshadowed by weeks and months of endless speculation from ITK accounts, that post hundreds of possible moves that were never going to happen, and then crow about the guesses that inevitably they get right- even Suttons and Lawernsons predictions sometimes hit the mark

Rock and a hard place. Pre internet and when we were lower league (our rightful place ) I used to scour the papers for Albion information, in vain 90% of the time. The Argus was pretty well the only source along with the occasional genuine ITK rumours when things were not the well kept secrets they are now. I think I preferred it back then as summer transfer rumours and not ITK needy youtubers get it wrong more than 90% of the time and are just irritating, but I do still read them

Gonna be a long summer and sadly cricket bores me, Olympics should be good though

We were promised noodles years ago.

Rename the stadium to the Japanese Express stadium
