Market

Abdelkahar Kadri has said yes to AS Nancy

The last thing about a transfer that is still about the player is his signature on his own terms, and it is there. KAA Gent have lost him in all but the paperwork.

Match

The cup run ends for KAA Gent

0‑1 against Olympic Charleroi, and the road stops here. Cup exits are quick deaths — no second leg, no next week, just the league from now until May.

Market

Abdelkahar Kadri hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what KAA Gent can pretend not to have heard.

Transfer targets

An offer of $11.2M for Rodrigo Huescas

KAA Gent have gone to FC Copenhagen with a bid, and the supporters have gone to the internet with an opinion about it. Whether either changes anything is up to the selling club.

Transfer targets

KAA Gent rebuffed over Viktor Boone

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Waasland-Beveren have kept their man, and KAA Gent go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Transfer targets

KAA Gent bid $960.0K for Yllan Okou

The offer went to RAAL La Louviere this week and it is theirs to answer. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loud the door closes.

Boardroom

KAA Gent go back to the board over Yllan Okou

The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $1.1M — a club that wants Yllan Okou enough to be asked twice.

Transfer targets

No deal for Viktor Boone at that price

KAA Gent offered $850.0K; Waasland-Beveren said it was not close. The manager will be told the money is still there for the right player, which is what managers are told.

Squad

Tempers go at KAA Gent

Davy Roef was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad

Christian Brüls breaks a bone — 115 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 115 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Market

Waasland-Beveren say no — this time

The offer from KAA Gent for Viktor Boone was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Aimé Omgba

Waasland-Beveren asked and KAA Gent said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Transfer targets

Too dear: Waasland-Beveren walk away from Taiga Hata

$2.9M was the most the club would pay and Sint-Truiden were asking for more. Deals like this are revived in the last week of a window roughly half the time, and everybody involved knows it.

Market

Maxim Deman hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Waasland-Beveren can pretend not to have heard.

Squad

Words at Waasland-Beveren training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Beau Reus is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Squad

Ferre Slegers in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Waasland-Beveren this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Player ratings

Lennart Mertens takes the honours

Marked 7.76 on an afternoon he ran from the first whistle to the last. Whatever else went wrong, Waasland-Beveren had the best player on the pitch.

Squad

Too much change too quickly at Waasland-Beveren

9 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.

In brief
