The KV Oostende Post

KV Oostende make Simon Mignolet the dearest name in their history

$830.0K. Fees like that buy a footballer and rent a debate: every touch will be measured against the number for a season at least.

Both of them Kevin Januzaj's — 9.15

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 9.15, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

KV Oostende say no — this time

The offer from FC Nantes for Simon Castagne 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.

A move Josué Dorrio would have made for nothing

There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Josué Dorrio is living that version at KV Oostende, and it tends to show in the first month.

Toby Kompany raises the bar for KV Oostende

“I want to be playing for trophies while my legs still let me.” Nothing in that sentence is a transfer request, and nobody at KV Oostende heard it as anything else.

Kevin Januzaj signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Kevin Januzaj and KV Oostende agree another 5 years.

Tempers go at KV Oostende

Kevin Januzaj 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.

The Dedryck Vertonghen conversation is coming

Everyone has stopped pretending: Standard Liege will make the call about Dedryck Vertonghen this week. KV Oostende have a number in mind, and the number is not shy.

Words at KV Oostende training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Radja Hazard 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.

The Lokeren Chronicle

10 Aug 2026
From our football correspondent Upbeat

Player ratings10 Aug 2026

Both of them Vinícius Farias's — 7.94

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 7.94, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Market10 Aug 2026

Vitesse come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Lokeren did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Nobody could get near Timothy Lukaku

Successful dribbles: 24. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Lokeren sell Toby Witsel for $2.0M

Toby Witsel has left for KAA Gent in a $2.0M deal. The accountants are pleased; the supporters are less certain.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Christian Kompany signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Christian Kompany commits to Lokeren for another 5 years.

Lokeren sell Eden De Ketelaere for $1.4M

Eden De Ketelaere has left for PSV in a $1.4M deal. The accountants are pleased; the supporters are less certain.

Timothy Lukaku 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 Lokeren this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Business is business: Simon Mignolet goes

KV Oostende paid $830.0K and Lokeren took it, which is the whole story in one sentence. The longer version involves a wage budget and will be told all season.

Vinícius Farias the difference as Lokeren beat KV Kortrijk

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Vinícius Farias. 3‑2 against KV Kortrijk, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.
