The OH Leuven Thread

Recommended Posts

  • 2 weeks later...

Note that being top of the league overall does not mean anything in the Belgian Second Division. The winner of the first half of the season (Beerschot-Wilrijk) will play the winner of the second half for promotion, so for OH Leuven only the second period standings are relevant.

Wonder who suggested him?

Their fans are less than impressed by the signing, they're saying it's clearly a publicity stunt by the owners (which, lets be honest, it clearly is). One of their fans suggested sending him to Leicester instead because that will have more of the desired effect of expanding the King Power brand name throughout the world...

I've no idea whether this Thai keeper is any good, but Thailand aren't complete mugs as an international team now.

They qualified for the last 12 in the Asian qualifiers for the World Cup, though they were never in contention to make the Finals.

 

So, is it so ridiculous for an international keeper at that level to be signed by a Belgian second division side?

Obviously, the owners have their own reasons for recruiting him but he might be a decent signing at that level.

Is he any worse than Jakupovic?

You'd have to say that Kawin is already better transfer business for King Power.

He apparently cost £350k and has just arrived. Jakupovic reportedly cost £2m six months ago and doesn't even make the bench, having made 1 appearance at Fleetwood.

 

According to Kawin's Wikipedia page, he is also a Silver Medalist (Seventh Class) of The Most Admirable Order of the Direkgunabhorn. Bet Jakupovic hasn't achieved that. :thumbup:

Wiki also reckons that Bryan Robson recommended him to Man Utd for a trial but he got injured.

 

Mind you, this bit hints at a bit of a Prince complex: "In September 2013, V.Vachiramethi a famous Thai monk advised him to add two thai alphabets to his name, therefore Kawin decided to change his name from กวิน to กวินทร์. His new name means a great and powerful man. Despite the change of his name the pronunciation of the word is still the same as the old name".

A lot of Thais now moan that Kawin can play higher level than this. Some say he better go to J league than Belgium D2.
Here some of his skills.
