Medical and signing complete in Portugal. Just need to nip back home for his hat and portmanteau and heads back to the Portuguese signing location for our first home game.

Impressive if we genuinely are beating the likes of the Belgian top teams, who can offer European football, to players. And also slightly ironic as Vik heads off to Sporting.

For sure. We are offering more for him than the Belgium big boys. Interesting times ahead!

There isn't a lot of money in the Belgian league , most decent players leave at a young age

The way he plays in tight spaces is very similar to DaSilva so think he’ll be his opposite at RWB. I guess MR has a style of play in mind and is looking for specific qualities in players who can fulfil the roles in his setup. Obviously that’s always the case to some extent but now we have the means to match the ambition.

Yeah it does look like we are looking to go back to the more possession based football Robins as liked before

Signing Bright from India is a close as we’ve got I think. What a waste.

For the same batshit reasons I'll put forward ex-Kolkata star Carl Baker as our closest thing to a signing from the far east

Kompany signed all the decent prospects last year from that league.

He scored a hat trick a few weeks ago in a pre season game. Albeit low key opposition.


We close our first practice game against Oudenburg with a 𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 .

KV OSTEND. Coastal boys sell Sakamoto to Coventry​

KV Oostende loses another important pawn after the relegation. Tatsuhiro Sakamoto (26) moves to Coventry city, England. So the Japanese left flank will play in the Championship. Coventry approaches the asking price of about two million euros, which can still reach three million euros via bonuses. AA Gent and RC Genk were also interested in the Japanese, but they didn't want to go that far financially. Sakamoto accounted for 7 assists last season. (Jug)

LIVE WINTERSTAGES. Gent oefent tegen Roemeense Cluj, Westerlo speelt in extremis gelijk tegen Duitse derdeklasser

Winterstop in de Jupiler Pro League. Dus zoeken haast alle Belgische voetbalclubs warmere oorden op voor een winterstage. Mis niets van de belangrijkste gebeurtenissen op deze stages via onze live.

I was hoping the ‘honest guv’ would drive home that I was talking the piss out of the suggestion that someone would suddenly turn up because someone else from their general area in the world signed for a team.

It’s patronising as fuck. Was there an extra load of season tickets sold from Coundon when Michael Doyle re-signed a few years back?

Probably not, but a couple from Malta sat behind me once when Mifsud was playing

I can imagine both. I’d be surprised if Robins went with a RWB who isn’t naturally a defender. Although I guess he’s played da Costa there before

Sakamoto seems like a very versatile attacking player who can play multiple positions. Suspect there will be another more traditional RWB to come.

He might play that free role behind the 2 strikers.

He’ll be coming in as an AM to compete with COH, Palmer and to a lesser extent Allen.

Because - sod it, our turn to be greedy and over excited - Milan van Ewjik will be our new RWB. All part of the super team MR is building.

He's left footed so don't see him being RWB.

I think he'll be in the AM role

Misidentification I think. One of Simms' entourage looked a bit like him.
