January Transfer Window

[PeterWithe]

Seems a good move for all as he's not played much.

I thought he did OK in the games he did play.

[SoccerHQ]

Not the worst player I've seen, injury just knackered him and we're well stocked at right back.

Antwerp may still be involved in the transfer market and then there is a good chance that the Great Old, with the contacts of Luciano D'Onofrio, will have a well-known name. A player who was linked to the PhD student on Monday morning is Ritchie De Laet.


Although the talks between Antwerp and De Laet are not concrete, the interest is mutual, Monday morning in Het Laatste Nieuws . ( Read HERE about a possible loan to the Great Old )

On Monday afternoon, the 29-year-old defender of Aston Villa sent a striking tweet into the world. "I know nothing," wrote De Laet, who also adjusted his profile picture on Twitter. A photo in the shirt of The Vilans made way for one with the logo of Antwerp .

The Belgian neo-first division is the club of his heart, that De Laet never left. Earlier the rearguard player flirted once with a return to the Bosuil. On Sunday he followed the cracker back Club Brugge as well.

I've no idea what "following the cracker back" entails, but I think it might be racist.

[Clampy]

A shame really because he might have been useful next season if we get back up and he didn't look a bad player but it's understandable.

[Dave]

Lucky guy. Antwerp is brilliant.

I'd like to see all transfer rumours put through Google Translate.

I reckon it's a 'typo' & should've read Crackerjack. Thus, the racist link is with a brummegem's very own 'Don Maclean, who - prior to his hilario double-teaming with Peter 'Chuckles' Glaze on Crapperjack - was compare on the Black & White Minstrel Show.

And not a lot of people know that.

Loan only? Apparently he's been seen with some PhD student on the streets of Antwerp.

Was that before or after him sending his 'striking' tweet out into the world i.e "I know nothing"?

I reckon there aren't many footballers that tweet about the Socratic paradox. Mind you, what do I know?

Well quite. Mind you, the boy Socrates could play a bit couldn't he? Carnival football gyrating to the infectious samba rhythm isn't it? Marvellous!

[brian green]

Mind  you Pythagoras could only play square or on the hypotenuse.

we'll this thread has taken an interesting tangent.

If we can sign a striker that fits with the iron triangle then we are all set.

Got to the kids looking good tonight, Green scoring twice is a bonus. Would like to see him and RHM get some chances soon.

Green should be on the bench, as he is comfortable on either wing and can offer a bit of pace in the closing stages.  Not sure we need three central midfielders on the bench like we had on Saturday.
