Highly doubt it, even if he won the brownlow.Smart money says there will be Japanese media interest in this kid.
May even be some coin for the Club.
Simmilar to my video on the POu was sick of no good Chito HIghlights so I made my own, unfortunately youtue stuffed it a little but stills ome good stuff there.
Exactly, he is not a midfielder, nor is Pou. The challenge for Lyon is to use Mitch where he can be the most effective, and clearly as a mid is not one of those options. Mitch has some good moments in the forward half, but this season seems to fade in and out of games and probably needs to work harder on keeping the ball in the forward half, like most of our forwards this season. I don't think our forward half strategies are helping, the guys just play too close together and don't give each other enough space to offer options- over to you coach.Interesting all the debate about Mitch. When I first saw him play the things that impressed me most were his contested marking and his burst speed. Which is why I see him as a forward/mid rather than a mid/forward. I think he could turn into an OK fulltime mid but IMO he could become an exceptional forward who can give the mids a chop out
Coaches always want to set the team up so it has the best chance of winning games. If Mitch's best position was full time mid, I believe he would already be playing there.
I differ slightly from you on Pou. I see him more as a mid/forward. His hands in tight are exceptional and if he can learn to find the balance between being selfish and selfless i.e. playing more on instinct, then I think we will be more than happy with what he delivers.Exactly, he is not a midfielder, nor is Pou.

He’s definitely not a mid, my guess is he’s being groomed to take over Members position.Exactly, he is not a midfielder, nor is Pou.

Dusty type? Just as much a mid as he is a forward! Clearances and contested possessions as a mid and then contested marks score assists and freak goals as a forwardI think Mitch projects a lot like a Jake Stringer or Izak Rankine type.
He will spend the majority of his time forward but those 2-3m bursts he has on ball are going to be game breaking.
I think he can be whatever player he wants to be.
Personally I quite like the idea of him being a forward that pinch hits in the mid. He can be an absolute weapon doing that.
Of course as Sully111 and others would rightly say, we probably need him as a mid more than a forward at the moment so there is that.
Mitchito san has gone from playing like Monkey last year to playing like Pigsy this year.
He could do with a spell in the twos like the Pou to regain some form and get his mojo back.
Probably won't happen though.
Pigsy was no pushover, but keep him away from the women.
No current season stats available
Yeah I was harsh on Pigsy, he was good value and could hold his own.
The kids these days probably won't know what we are talking about.
I don't want to derail this thread though, it's about Michito, I'm backing him to bounce back, he bleeds red. white and black.
He is part of our future along with Windhager, Phillipou and Sharmam but once you go red. white and black you never go back.
