A week's trial would suggest we're doing our homework on him and anyhow, Fellaini and Lukaku were signed from the Belgian League so it's not all shit.

2 world wars, 1 world cup Isn't Belgium as big as cemetery junction, witha population of around 2400?

Doesn't sound very exciting. Sounds like getting a striker because we need one rather than being keen on him per se.

Still, a strikers a striker.


Say what you like about Belgium, they're producing some cracking players at the moment.

Mignolet isn't even their best keeper...

Thomas Vermaelen, Kevin De Bruyne, 17 year old Zakaria Bakkali...

Exactly. Courtois and Mignolet is brilliant for one place.

They are however surprisingly adept at telling EU citizens how to weigh their fruit and veg, how not to be rude to the fellow Euro Area family and are genuinely ingenious at inventing ways of pissing away tax money from their Brussels Bunker. Chocolate, Beer and Poirot are acceptable exports though.

Unlikely seen as the management are split over him, I heard he trained well today but they are not sure whether or not he is too similar to Le Fondre in the system we play. Im told his agent was in yesterday but no deal was done. More than likely be next week now
