Popular Post Eden De Bruyne Posted 7 April 2019 Popular Post Share Posted 7 April 2019 People here seem surprised by the level of players like Tielemans and Ndidi. But every year there are players of that level playing in Belgium. We deliver better players than the Netherlands the last 10 years and we are 10 times cheaper than the Netherlands. Tielemans level: Yari Verschaeren (17, AM, Anderlecht), Zinho Vanheusden (19, CB, Standard De Liège (on loan from Inter Milan, can leave there)). Both are giants, and Leicester is a perfect next step for both. But maybe Verschaeren needs one more year in Anderlecht to show he can still do it when every opponent puts a player on him. And Vanheusden has big competition in Maguire and Söyüncü, but I think he will be in the team, he is extremely good. If Leicester doesn't consider those 2 players, they don't scout well enough. Just a tip guys 8 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuna Posted 7 April 2019 Share Posted 7 April 2019 (edited) Have we signed anyone direct from the Belgian league before? I'm thinking Wasilewski but he was a free agent. Edited 7 April 2019 by Tuna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a tip guys You’re not wrong! Around the same time we brought Ndidi we were also linked with Leon Bailey who has gone on to be excellent at Leverkusen. Most of the Belgian players in the league are among the best for their clubs and it was no surprise to see Belgium finish 3rd in the World Cup. Are there any up and coming wingers or target men that you rate? Those are the two squad positions that we could do with improving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are there any up and coming wingers or target men that you rate? Those are the two squad positions that we could do with improving. If you want pure wingers, Leandro Trossard (24, LW, Genk) is the best in Belgium. Junior Edmilson (24, LW, Al Duhail) is playing in Qatar now, which is a shame. Because he was the best winger in Belgium. Target men are not good enough I think at the moment. Osimhen (20) maybe in the future, but the step Charleroi-Leicester is too big. Wesley (22, Club Bruges) is good enough for a better team, but he doesn't score enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a tip guys Cheers for posting this, both these players sound great for the way our club is going, also like the sound of Trossard. If we could get a couple of these lads in maybe that might sway Tielemans to stay at City.... The future is looking good down the KP... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan LCFC Posted 7 April 2019 Share Posted 7 April 2019 It's the kind of market clubs like us should be all over really. Attainable players yet a proven track record of producing quality, in some cases top class players. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Livid Posted 7 April 2019 Share Posted 7 April 2019 I would say we need to avoid the Portuguese league and we would be fine but Ricardo has evened out Silva and Slimani somewhat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Genk produces quality all the time. Courtois, De Bruyne, Ndidi, Kalidou Koulibaly, Milinkovic-Savic, Leon Bailey, etc. Even Benteke . That team produced more quality the last 7 years than all Dutch teams together. And they sell cheaper than all those teams apart. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He plays for Atalanta but the team doesn't suit him well, so he plays half of the games now. The PL will suit him better. Definitely a good player for a good PL team. He is also the first I would select for the Belgian team. Because he plays well at: LB, RB, LM, RM, CB and CDM. His original position is RB. Also a former Genk player.

Funny you should mention him, Rodgers tried to sign him for Celtic last summer. I wasn't aware he was a left back, thought he was a right back. Forget that, you've explained that haha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So let's get him signed!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
