If you think that Mitoma has a bigger brand and global appeal than Ansu Fati you're living in a dream world.

Ansu Fati has 5 times the amount of Instagram followers than the club. 10 times what Mitoma has.

That is not to minimise Mitoma's influence in increasing our popularity in Japan and Asia, but Fati is a global superstar with a brand and global appeal bigger than we've ever seen at the club.

Then why aren't we raking it in through the sale of Fati shirts? Oh yeah.......I remember now.

Second Nike training kit item in a row I've ordered from the Albion online shop for my kids... only to be told, several days later, that actually it's not available. This is after going to the club shop on Saturday and being told, "We don't stock those here [er, why?], but they're online". My...

See my posts in that thread about how kit deals work for the logical answer.

And if you're asking why we're not raking it in through the sale of shirts, then the same is surely applicable for Mitoma?

FWIW, I was speaking to a friend at the game on Saturday who told me that they went on holiday to India in January. Went to a remote village in Kerala and he took a picture of a bloke in the village wearing an Ansu Fati 31 Brighton shirt.

Why would Fati's loan ending be a reason for RDZ to leave ?

Eh, wrong end of the stick my good fella, I am saying RDZ was a major factor in Fati coming to us, if RDZ leaves that may hinder any slim chance we had of getting Fati to stay either by another loan or purchase (highly unlikely).

sorry if I was not clearer

He's beyond us for a full move. I could imagine a loan being extended, but I can't see that he as offered enough at this stage to justify it.

See what happens in Europe.

No, that wasn't a strangely remembered pre-Christmas dream you had folks.

Albion really are in Europe.

I believe he's come on in the last two games but I've had to check as he's been completely anonymous. Hope he gets up to speed soon as I was enjoying his performances before his injury.

Too early in his comeback to be drawing conclusions.

At the moment, it's a positive he's on the pitch.

What we're hoping is that his proven quality will prove the difference in a big match at the business end of the season

I’ve been reading on the club website that our profile in South America has sky rocketed and they are very aware that Brighton is the go-to club to break into the Premier League because we give them a chance. I think signing Ansu Fati(even though he is not South American) made the rest of the world look at Brighton and say “What’s going on there?” Great PR for the club, putting us on the world map. How times have changed.

Let’s not forget that Roberto was the pull here - he personally spoke to him.

It is a shame his injury with us has set back his loan progress but I’m looking forward to the Europas, he should be scoring goals by then.

But a fantastic coup for the Club - I suspect if Barco works out, he may also raise our international profile building on our previous World Cup winner record.

And Adingra being the star man in the Africa Cup of Nations final can only help too.
