The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Westerlo sell a favourite for $3.4M
The accountants will call it good business and they will be right, which is not the point anybody outside the boardroom is making. Isa Sakamoto was one of the reasons people came, and $3.4M does not replace that by itself.

Westerlo sell Isa Sakamoto for $3.4M
Isa Sakamoto has left for Stade Rennais in a $3.4M deal. The accountants are pleased; the supporters are less certain.

Ndoh Wamfor’s move to Altamura falls through
The deal that would have taken Ndoh Wamfor to Altamura has collapsed at the last stage, and he reports back to Westerlo with a summer to forget and a season still to play. Nobody is saying which side walked away.

3 wins on the spin now, and the question has changed from whether the run ends to who ends it. Confidence like this cannot be bought; it has to be earned exactly this way.

Serhiy Sydorchuk 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 Westerlo this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Words at Westerlo training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Thomas Van Den Keybus 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.

Thomas Van Den Keybus the difference as Westerlo beat KAA Gent
Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Thomas Van Den Keybus. 1‑0 against KAA Gent, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

A long bet from Westerlo on Charles Batshuayi
He is 19, and nobody at Westerlo signed him for this season. Deals like this are judged in four years, by people who may not still be in the building.
