Michel-Ange Balikwisha

Sure someone on KDS had said Ørjasæter was our top target.

 

Hope so

 

Haven't seen any recent videos of Balikwisha, but from what I can remember last Summer he looked *.

Based on that alone I would rather someone else.

 

Belgian papers saying talks have reached a deadlock.

Think we might be being played here by agents or club. Think it's time to move on from this one.

 

Michel-Ange Balikwisha has also been linked with a switch from Royal Antwerp - with reports in Belgium suggesting the 24-year-old is keen to make the move.

However, Voetbal Primeur claim that talks have reached a deadlock over the £5.1m asking price Antwerp have placed on Balikwisha.

 

I do think £5m is steep for him, especially given he has less than a year on his contract and spent a large chunk of last season out injured.

Would have been looking to get him for £3m with a decent sell on clause attached.

 

I checked some local newspapers. Nothing from today or days before about this transfer, even vga.be who are usually forst to get Antwerp news. I heard through someone close to Antwerp that player wants to come to us.

the link above: voetbal primeur? They are not reputable. I would file as *. Not a chance in the world they get 5,1 for an injury prone player with one year contract. As long as he is injury free. I rate him! But thats the issue…

 

I think there was something in our interest but there’s been a lot from his side about it in the media, either him or his agents.

Usually unless they’re a main target, that we view as a must, when that happens we drop the interest.

When it’s one of many targets, we get spooked with that. I think I agree with our attitude doing that, if they’re loud and media stories from their camp before they sign, then what will it be if they get dropped
