2 points lost, just like last week...

 

We desperately need some new players if we don't want to be in a relegation battle all season! 

 

Seems Rezaei will be joining on a loan from Club Brugge. Henry replacement?

Looks ilke it. I wouldn't be unhappy with Rezaei, but I would still sign an extra striker.

[Iran]

Rezaei signs.

Sounds permanent from the article

 

1 year contract with the option for a further year

[KlaaZ]

Rezaei is officially a Leuven boy, one year deal with an optional one year extension. Solid signing, failed at Club Brugge (injury riddled there as well) but did very well during his loan spells at Charleroi in the last two seasons.

Good signing indeed.

 

Looks like Henry is on his way out...

Sounds like Venezia are after Henry now, apparently offered €3.5m, Leuven want €5m

We already declined a €6m offer from Swansea, so I doubt we will accept a €5m offer now.

 

€3,5m is just laughable...

[KlaaZ]

Seems unlikely, yeah. Especially as I've heard there's an agreement between Thomas and the club that he'll only leave if all parties are satisfied, i.e. if it's a club in a league he likes and if the money's right. That would imply a transfer fee being set, and it won't be low. 

[Webbo]

Play today at 3.

[KlaaZ]

No Rezaei yet in the squad, Dewaest gets his first start. Apart from that, no changes compared to the previous two games, which means Maertens again starts off the bench and Keita stays in the first eleven.

[KlaaZ]

0-1 after eight minutes, defensive instability continues. We ship way too many goals. 

[Webbo]

Rain stopped play.

Hail, actually. :p

[KlaaZ]

This is really, really bad. A step too late on every turn, losing all duels, no second balls, no possession, no chances.

I'm worried for you guys this season, the second season after promotion is alway tougher in my view.

[Webbo]

That's better.

Now for the winner hopefully!

[KlaaZ]

Way better performance now, good thing he took of Bese because that guy has been horrendous, both today and this season so far. Just gotta be careful not to commit too much. 

[KlaaZ]

Good point considering the aberration that was the first half. This happens too much though, a ridiculous lack of sharpness when we start a game.

Probably should have won it in the last 15 minutes.

True, but could quite as easily have lost it as Charleroi had a few clear cuts too.

Fair point great defending at the end, thought Charleroi player was going to have a tap in.

 

Solid start, unbeaten, could do with a win at Genk.

Probably also the last game Henry played for us, going to be a big loss. Supposedly very emotional after the game and kinda said goodbye to the fans.
