Are those sites and sources Italian by any chance? ABraeckman (the pretty reliable Belgian journo) said a while ago that us not getting European football doesnt change anything and that CDK is a massive fan of playing in the Premier League. Champions league football isn't some rare holy grail these days, you can get it in Belgium, Switzerland or even Norway. It only gets interesting when the team you're joining has a realistic chance of winning it and unless you happen to join Real Madrid, Man City, Liverpool, Chelsea, PSG you're out of luck. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'd have been in this years final if not for Madrid's magic, they came back against PSG and made them look silly, last year they were in the final and only lost because Pep couldnt help himself but to play no DM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're not a guaranteed stepping stone to any of those clubs. For comparison Tielemans looks like he's not going to be able to get a transfer from us to any champions league clubs despite having far more ability than de ketelaere.

No club is a guaranteed stepping stone to anywhere if the player doesnt put in the performances. If you do however put in performances, then playing in the Premier League is the most likely and easiest way of getting recognized by said top clubs.

Mhhh, I'd genuinely not trust any sources bar Braeckman or Terreur (when its about Belgians), our club mouthpieces Percy and Tanner and maybe Fabrizio on any of our transfer dealings. Even the supposed high tier sources in Italy like Di Marzio are spouting a lot of dross in recent years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I decided to read up a bit on him and personality-wise he seems a perfect fit for our squad. He still lives at his mothers in Belgium, was studying law until he became a full-time senior player at Club Brugge and only dropped out once he had security and apparently doesn't go to his local bakery anymore out of shyness because people started recognizing him and asked for autographs. He will definitely think long-term before making any decision. According to a Belgian journo it shouldn't be long after the internationals that we get news. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deeg67 Posted 12 June 2022 Share Posted 12 June 2022 (edited) The choice for CDK will mostly come down, as it usually does for guys at his level, of virtually guaranteed first-team status at a club like ours or fighting for appearances at a glamor club like AC Milan. Unfortunately us bolloxing first CL and now Europe altogether makes our case a lot weaker. The sad fact is when it comes to signees they don’t give a rat’s ass about the FA Cup but they care a whole lot about European football.

That actually worries me, how will he be away from home for the 1st time . Soumare has already said that he was an introvert and that has not helped him settle . Plus I was hoping we would sign some dickheads as we have to many nice guys .😅 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KDH still lives with his mum and is moving out so he can move in there. I hear they call Brugge ‘the Shepshed of Belgium’ so I think all will be fine. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
