Roger Van Gool, DeLorgeCedric Roussell and the fella who manages Rangers at the moment
Any other Belgians we have had in the past?
The 'We' in your quote, don't worry just my shit sense of humourDon't get it?
Thats right, but it does mean you have to have the funds available to speculate in the first place.There's a very clear commercial business mindset behind these transactions. DK is acquiring assets for the business which he believes will only appreciate in value in the next few years. Its a much more solid strategy for the club to follow rather than chasing short term success via loans and journeymen.
No he isn't on the basis of what we saw at Oxford. Or at least not a central one - looks like an attacking midfielder to meBTA is a striker not a midfielder
Yes would imagine hes with the 18's or U21'sBeen given number 47. Might be a bit of an indicator of his place in the squad seeing as 12, 16, 18 and 19 are all available.
I do think we need another midfielder ideally but I also think Sheaf’s injury has made it look like a more pressing issue than it perhaps is. Once Sheaf is back, which is looking like it’s going to be pretty soon, I think a midfield of Rudoni, Sheaf and Eccles/Torp looks pretty good on paper. The big issue is of course that Sheaf misses 10+ games on average per season.

Unless those numbers are being kept for the CD, DM, LB, RB coming in?Been given number 47. Might be a bit of an indicator of his place in the squad seeing as 12, 16, 18 and 19 are all available.
Obikwu has a great future with us, I think. He'll presumably go out on loan, maybe L1 this time. He did well at Grimsby last season. As for Tavares...he's 23. I have to say if he was going to make it here then he already would have. Reckon he'll be gone at some point.Behind Simms and BTA then?
Tavares and Obikwu need to get down the job centre
He was excellent during the Sixfields season. Being a scab who attended Sixfields I saw a lot of him.Forgot about Moussa, but tbf didn't even know he was Belgian
He completely tailed off after leaving us he was quite sought after during the Sixfields season as well
Foden wears 47 , could be similarNope
He wore 77 at his previous club, but can't have that in this league (some rule about not having high numbers) so 47 is the closest he will get
He will be around the first team
Agreed, so at some point we’ll need a player to replace him.I do think we need another midfielder ideally but I also think Sheaf’s injury has made it look like a more pressing issue than it perhaps is.

Burroughs is a WB and we don’t play with WBs anymore. He didn’t set the world alight at Lincoln so a loan to Scotland makes sense because he needs first team football and hasn’t demonstrated (yet) that he’s at the level we require.It now looks obvious that Burroughs went out on loan to make way for his wages, rather than the bigger RB cover we thought might be coming in
This is spot on. It’s a position prone to injury anyway, so we need more depth. I don’t mind the signing we have made, but to be competitive this season another midfielder feels a necessity.Problem is, them midfield players are all susceptible to missing a fair chunk of games though injury
Sheaf misses at least 10 a year
Torp already missed some last season
Eccles, granted did well last season but was full of niggles the 3 season before that
A midfield of Sheaf Torp Rudoni is plenty good enough
A midfield of Eccles and Allen really isn't
Hence the need for a proper Defensive midfielder, of quality to go into the middle of the park
After that I don't think we are far away at all
Totally agree , it's blatant hypocrisyI’m shocked @GIMOC didn’t come on here and brag about the signing before it happened
Scored some absolute stunners.He was excellent during the Sixfields season. Being a scab who attended Sixfields I saw a lot of him.

Yeah, he was great. One of those who thought the grass was greener.Scored some absolute stunners.
Nick likes the last twoAlways enjoy looking at the strengths and weaknesses supposedly highlighted by the stats. Solid strengths, and both of these weaknesses are easily coached with a good coaching team.
