Michel-Ange Balikwisha

We need a number of wingers in. Though this guy isn't my first choice he can fill a hole and do a job, all for a reasonable price.


No complaints, especially given our needs.

 

Tbh I want him in. His stats are decent.

I want the Norwegian lad in most but we do need two wingers.

 

Funny if true because we have been trying for about 4 years now. Must be a absolute * beast of a player if we just continue to put our focus on him year after year.

 

I can only recall him ever seen linked summer then he got a bad injury?

 

Maybe just my perception of time is off the charts lol

 

What seems so promising about balikishwa is he scores in all the big games in Belgium. Big game player by the looks of it. I think both would suit us perfectly and if the rumours of Kuhn leaving are true we need both in

 

Dog on the streets of Antwerp have said this is a goer. All is agreed.
Still not sure. Not because of his quality, ho injury record worries me.

In the play offs he got 4 goals and 3 assists from 10 games, where there aren't really any guff teams. I think he could be real quality.

Wonder what sort of fee we'd pay for him as I think he only has a year left.

 

Not 100% sure how I feel on this one.

He's definitely got ability, even though his stats don't scream out at you. 140 games for Antwerp, 29 goals and 17 assists. So, involved in a goal every 3 games. I mean, Maeda essentially done that himself in this season alone. Of course, there are a number of factors for that.

MAB has a year left on his contract, he had a really strong end to the season in the play offs and is just back from an injury. So, yeah. If we can get a deal done for £4m/£5m, I think I'd take it. My only worry is his recent injury record.

 

9 goals and 4 assists in 40 games for Standard Liege.

So a pretty consistent involvement of 1 in 3 games throughout his career. Maybe I'm being overly harsh because I would prefer Orjasaeter and I don't think there is any chance we sign both.

 

As others have said, punt Yang and Tillio and bring in this boy and the Norwegian lad … if we’re going to take the next step as a club in Europe that’s the kind of squad depth and quality we should be aspiring to.

Time to be ruthless in terms of squad building.

 

His injuries are a worry but he does look good. We’ve been in for him before so it’s obvious the player is interested too.

 

Injuries are a worry but if it's managed correctly and our squad is as strong as it should be then it's not a huge concern.

It only becomes and issue when he's relied upon to play 90% of the games.

 

On his holidays

 

Wee stop before meeting up with Brendan
