UniFox21 Posted 6 July 2019 Share Posted 6 July 2019 Seemed to be 4-1 before conceding 3 to tie the game. Was it a case of quality from the first division team as you tired? But these friendly games against first division teams will hopefully be great practise for the coming season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't see the game myself, but I hear we played a lot of our youngsters today. Apparently Mechelen played with their strongest team, so our boys did very well. In our first friendly, all players played about 45 minutes, but yesterday and today most guys played 90 minutes. Combined with the intensive practices, I think ending with a draw after being up 4-1 is due to fatigue (and some inexperience) We play another friendly on Wednesday against Eupen (1st division). From July 15 until July 20 the team will be on trainingcamp in the Netherlands. We play FC Twente (Dutch 1st division) on July 20. Hopefully we can sign a couple more players before trainingcamp, so they can be integrated into the team as soon as possible. The managers have said they still want an extra goalkeeper, 1 or 2 central defenders, a left-back, a midfielder and a striker. In my opinion, the central defenders and striker are what we need the most. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve McClaren managed FC Twente and hilariously started speaking English in a Dutch accent. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Bonanza Posted 10 July 2019 Popular Post Share Posted 10 July 2019 New signing for our club. Tom Van Hyfte signs a 1-year-deal. He's a 33-year-old Belgian central midfielder who recently played for Beerschot (Belgian 2nd division), where he played 80 games in 2 seasons and even was their captain. I like this signing, as it brings a lot of experience to the team. We now have a midfield that is strong enough to compete for the league title this year, but we still need some defending and attacking signings to strengthen the team. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justfoxes Posted 21 July 2019 Share Posted 21 July 2019 Maybe they can take Nacho on a season loan get him playing regular football, watching him first half v Cheltenham and second half v Scunny he really didn’t show any improvement at all ? Maybe a full season on loan would do him good getting him playing more regular maybe big maybe could get his form back from when he played for Man City ? could also send Silva Slimani King ? ??

No disrespect, but if he is to go out on loan I doubt he'd want to be dropping down to Belgian second division level 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he was the "property" of Leicester City football club. Besides, even if we could force them to go, what good would it do for Leuven to have an unhappy player who isn't motivated to perform to their abilities because they want to be playing in a stronger league? One who would be taking playing time away from one of their academy prospects? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
