The Belgian

I don't remember him scoring twice for Tottenham in the 6-2 defeat, must be I'm getting old and demented ...

Yes, and if Maddison wouldn't have missed that penalty against Everton (in the home game) .... it would have been 3-0 at halftime, they (Everton) would have never gotten back in the game then So let's keep it at Roger Whittaker's "I don't believe in if anymore". (Yes, Iam that old)

Ik mag dan een anonieme "The Belgian" zijn, maar ik ben toevallig ook een ex-collega van Wout zijn vader. Die heeft me verzekerd dat er in zijn familie geen Hilde Faes voorkomt : zeker niet tot in de zevende graad bloedverwantschap (je bent dus familie van het zevende knoopsgat). Je mag dan misschien wel een gemeenschappelijke voorouder hebben, maar pretendeer dan niet "familie" van hem te zijn. Trouwens, de (betover-)grootouders van Wout zijn afkomstig van de Blauwe Kei / Stevensvennen in Lommel en niet van Balen (-Neet), Rijsberg(dijk) of Kerkhoven : dit ter vervollediging van jouw "familiegeschiedenis". Als je wilt, bezorg ik je zijn (van de vader) telefoonnummer : dan kan je hem ervan overtuigen dat je familie bent. I may well be an anonymous "The Belgian", but I also happen to be an ex-colleague of Wout's father. He assured me that there is no Hilde Faes in his family : certainly not up to the seventh degree of consanguinity (so you are related by the skin of your teeth). You may well have a common ancestor, but don't pretend to be "related" to him. By the way, Wout's (great-great) grandparents come from the Blauwe Kei / Stevensvennen in Lommel and not from Balen (-Neet), Rijsberg(dijk) or Kerkhoven : this is to complete your "family history". If you want, I will give you his (father's) telephone number: then you can convince him that you are related.

Zou u kunnen uitleggen op welke manier precies u familie bent van Wout Faes? Dezelfde achternaam hebben, maakt u niet automatisch een familielid ... (Could you please explain in what way exactly you are related to Wout Faes? Having the same last name doesn't automatically make you a relative ...)

I don't know what rumours she has been spreading here, but I can tell you with absolute certainty that she's not related to Wout Faes.

A genuinely honest question as I don't follow the British/English media closely (and maybe someone here can give me the answer) : Why isn't Maresca using Patson Daka (anymore)? I know he's no "killer" with 4 goals and 4 assists last season, but surely in the Championship he could/would do better ...

"A centre back trio that will need replacing in its entirety." Here's Maresca's opinion on (at least) one of them ... Enzo Maresca tells Wout Faes what he must stop doing to become top centre-back - Leicestershire Live (leicestermercury.co.uk)

So there´s still hope for Watford 🙃

Your point being ...??? I could post pictures of Kompany, Vermaelen, Vertonghen, Alderweireld, ... to support my opinion. By the way, was Castagne really that bad, or are you just p*ssed off because he's gone?

I'd try to keep him as well. I don't think he wants to get out at any cost but, given his status as a Belgian international and the upcoming European Championship, I wouldn't be surprised to see him leave. There's a lot of competition in the Belgian defense and I fear staying in the EFL Championship won't increase his chances of being selected by Tedesco.

Spot on, and he pocketed none other than Harry Kane in the home game against Spurs last season ... Yes, he SEEMS to be a bombscare sometimes, but overall he's a more than average defender : he wouldn't be a Belgian international if he wasn't!
