[Albion] Igor Paixão

[macbeth]

A possible Mitoma replacement, one would suspect.



Looks very decent. Only major downside is that he’s from the Eredivisie, to say that wingers from that league don’t tend to adapt too well over here would be an understatement.

Alas, I’m not sure we could compete with our massive competition, in any case

 

[Biscuit]

If we're up against Leeds we may as well throw in the towel. They're bigger than Sheffield Wednesday.

What do you mean...?

 

[The Sock of Poskett]

Well he certainly looks handy in the video. Not sure we could have two Igors though? Unless we get nine more, of course.
"Number one, he's called Igor, number two, he's called Igor, number three ..." Got to be a song in that

 

[Freddo]

This was the guy keeping Osman out of their team all season.
Would be sad if we signed him as it would mean Mitoma is definitely leaving.

I don't see the problem:

"Ole, ole ole ole...
Igor... Igor..."

 

[Guinness Boy]

Though he clearly prefers his right he seems to be TWO FOOTED. A banger and a few crosses with his left in that reel. And he can HEAD the ball and take free kicks.

It's only a seven minute highlight reel from the Netherlands but I say SING him up Tony.

(and yes, we'd be bidding farewell to Mitoma-san).

Feyenoord ace at centre of Prem transfer race after running Kyle Walker ragged

THREE Premier League clubs are chasing Feyenoord’s Champions League star Igor Paixao. Tottenham, Newcastle and Bournemouth are all keen on the Brazilian winger, who scored the winner against …

Our only hope is to start selling some “Free Igor Paixão” mugs to get some money towards our FFP

 

[Hugo Rune]

Mitoma is irreplaceable.

However, this guy would soften the blow.

That's my favourite type of tackle!

Indeed. You can't even spell Sheffield without Leeds.

Insult to injury for Osman, kept out of Feyenoord’s squad then Brighton’s by this bloke

 

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

Here's Mitoma's highlights reel for comparison:

 

[Change at Barnham]

The above highlights reel of Kaoru Mitoma is absolutely insane.
Peter Ward, Mark Lawrenson, Lewis Dunk, Pascal Gross you may need to move slightly to one side.

If I could have just one request for this transfer window it would be for Mitoma to sign a new extended contract with the Albion.
Watching Kaoru play makes watching football extra special.

This. It's players like this that make me go and spend a fortune following BHA rarther than going up the local rec.

That said I was gutted when Knocky left as thought it would be years before we saw another player like that, then along comes Mitoma who is on another level. There's always 'the next one'.

 

[JBizzle]

Here's Mitoma's highlights reel for comparison:

Such a lovely watch, despite the truly obnoxious music.

 

[severnside gull]

What is especially delightful in that Karou reel is his ability to spot and time a pass.

 

[Stumpy Tim]

That reel highlights how insane his first touch is... I've never seen a player like it in my decades of supporting the club. Ludicrous. His heading ability is underrated too.
