Jason Meunier: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” KV Oostende have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Real improvement from Josué Kongolo at KV Oostende

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Josué Kongolo is 20, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Words at KV Oostende training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Dedryck Lukaku 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.

Match17 Oct 2026

Still nobody has beaten KV Oostende

The unbeaten run reaches 6. Some of them were wins and some were escapes, but a side that refuses to lose is a side other dressing rooms talk about.

A falling-out at KV Oostende

Adnan De Bruyne and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

When it matters, Dedryck Lukaku plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

KV Oostende keep their word to Jasper Hartog

Clubs make promises constantly and the page usually only hears about them when they are broken. This one was honoured, and the dressing room noticed that faster than any supporter did.

Romelu Meunier dropped after a run of poor form

The one version of being left out a player cannot argue with, and the one he takes worst. Somebody else has been better and the team sheet says so, in public, every week until it changes.

No place for Michy Courtois in the plan

“The manager did not use many words, and he did not need to.” Michy Courtois has his answer from KV Oostende; what he does with it is the next window’s story.

The dugout12 Oct 2026

Michy Courtois says KV Oostende went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Squad12 Oct 2026

Words exchanged at KV Oostende

Dedryck Lukaku and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Squad12 Oct 2026

A row about effort at KV Oostende

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Adnan De Bruyne was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Market12 Oct 2026

Romelu Kompany told to find a new club

“They were honest with me, and I would rather know.” Romelu Kompany has been informed he is not in the manager's thinking at KV Oostende.

Squad12 Oct 2026

Time is catching up with Hérold Goulon

Everybody at KV Oostende saw it before anybody said it, which is how this always goes. At 38 the decline is real and measurable — 3 points — and the only question left is how the club handles somebody it owes a great deal to.

Squad12 Oct 2026

KV Oostende are still strangers to each other

7 new signings in one window. Every one may be an upgrade and the side can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild the verdicts never mention.

The dugout12 Oct 2026

Michy Vanaken has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at KV Oostende will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

Market12 Oct 2026

The Radja Kompany story refuses to die

It has been denied twice and printed three times, which is the usual arithmetic. Until Radja Kompany signs something — a contract at KV Oostende or anywhere else — this column belongs to him.

The dugout12 Oct 2026

Romelu Kompany asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.
