The OH Leuven Thread 2020/21

[KlaaZ]

FYI, the VAR referee is the same guy who screwed us over last season in Lommel, where he pulled two ridiculous red cards against us, awarded Lommel with two highly disputable penalties and let an offside goal of theirs stand.

Sub keeper on?

Not looking good now.

Not our night, with the abysmal refereeing in the first half and that unlucky deviation for the second goal.

[Webbo]

All over now

[KlaaZ]

Clawed one back, two to go.

[Webbo]

Tbf the best side won, but it could have been a different game if the goal (he was in his own half when the ball was passed) and what looked like a certain penalty  had stood.

Josh Eppiah joined us on loan, anyone who can shed some light on this boy?

The people who follow the youth teams have always raved about him but sounds like he's been done by injuries. Hopefully he can start to fulfil his potential.

[Bob Farley]

Pretty sure he’s a Belgian U21 player. He’s a good striker but like mentioned above he’s had a few injuries. The club seem to rate him highly as he’s just signed a new 3 year deal.

It's your duty, as a King Power Club, to nurture him, improve him and return Josh to us in tip-top condition and as a top class striker

 

I wish him all the best with you and hope that he fits in well and is productive for you.

You're right - he was in a Belgium u21 squad very recently.

[Bonanza]

Unpopular opinion, but I'm a little sceptic about this deal...

 

This lad is apparently injury-prone and has no experience with 1st team football.

 

He describes himself as a striker who can also play as a winger. We already have a couple of players who fit that description.

 

I hope he can prove me wrong...

I think he's there more for development both on and off the field than expecting to be a no 1 starter

 

Eppiah, who was called up to the Belgium Under-21s squad for a 4-1 win over Germany at King Power at Den Dreef Stadium earlier this month - from the OS release.

Had he not had a few bad injuries aged 18-20 he'd be in our first team IMO. One of the most gifted academy players I've seen in the last few years and still think he will make it to the top, whether that's Premier League level or just below but he has a lot of ability. 

 

If you could get Sidnei Tavares from us thst would be the best business you could do, he's so good but there's currently an impasse with the club and him over a new deal. We won't loan him out until he signs one but his deal is up next summer and he wants to be assured of making the best decision on his career. Dont blame him, we haven't handled him well at all.

If it’s a loan deal, one which you presumably  aren’t paying anything for, then why does it matter if he’s injury prone?

Should he want an injury prone player? Weird.

Dont think thats what he said.

[Lesta2014]

Guessing now they have 3 that this is the maximum we can send there?
