As you say, quelle suprise. Katrien said years ago that under Roland, we could enjoy watching future premier stars at the Valley. Even then she failed to admit we would be selling them for a song for other better-run clubs to make money. Admittedly this one wasn't actually on her watch, but it is still a damning demonstartion of what a terrible and incompetent owner RD is. Rumour is Katrien was in the Belgian press last week moaning that she did lots of good stuff during her time at the Valley which always went unrecognised. Examples fail to spring to mind, though a lot of posters on CL point out that she did a great service to the club by leaving. Says it all really.
You could almost respect these Belgian idiots if they understood the current market rate for young English players. Konsa - U20 England player ...goes straight in as Captain at a Championship club.
Listening to the Liverpool derby. Lookman and Gomez both outstanding, according to the commentary team. Aren't we grateful for the chance to watch them for a few games?'
Bauer only has 6 months left on his contract and was very firm in publicly making clear that he is leaving next summer. If Blackburn come back in in January with a cheeky little £100,000 offer, Duchatelet won’t be able to resist. We know it. Lots of clubs are looking at Aribo - including Brentford and Aston Villa. Once again, it won’t take much more than £500,000 in January for the c unt to sell him. Promotion won’t even be a consideration. The Apologists on ITTV like SR will be left to drool at his replacement - a Kaikai - standard loan. SR loves Mavidi for some bizarre reason, perhaps we can him back for a third time...he calls him an “EPL player”
