    Great shout! He actually played for Antwerp in that role before he joined us.

    I also got the impression from watching some of his post split games for Antwerp last year that he may actually be more effective for us in Europe. With the Belgian league being more competitive he seemed to be a good player in transitions both in terms of winning the ball back but also in being able to take up intelligent positions, pick the right pass or get into goal scoring positions.

    Our 3 last minute panic signings to bolster the squad are all African, in an AFCON season.


    Probably claim thats us thinking of long term, I’d claim we didn’t think about that at all

    He’s far too laidback when he receives the ball. Looks like he’s warming up.

    Hopefully MON and Maloney have a word with.

    Didn’t Antwerp supporters say he was a ‘big game player’? Hopefully steps it up considerably for Sunday.

    Aw I’d repressed the knowledge that he calls himself the football doctor. Worse infact, says other people do, when he’s the only * thats said it:56:


    Weirdly though, we’re incompetent to actually sign any of them but the links and rumours that were credible this summer was widespread and well thought out. Like * up signing any of them, but makes me think he’s doing alright.

    Just need every other * to do their job even to a below average level compared to now

    Would anyone buy him if he’s away at AFCON by then?

    Almost half a season in and he has put one ball into the box

    I think he may have taken on his man once but I'm not sure

    He has certainly collected the ball and passed it backwards a thousand times
