Mom last night according to my FCB supporting colleague
Yep, easily. He's an outlet for everything positive that Club Brugge do. The fans absolutely love him and Bees fans will too in my opinion as all we ever want to see are players putting in a shift and this bloke is a strong, fast, physical threat at all times. I honestly see him as having all the attributes Ivan Toney has but with a bit more pace and a seemingly happy go lucky outlook when he's playing. With Thomas Frank's coaching he could become an absolute superstar.

He and Wissa can just laugh and smile their way through games whilst busily stuffing the oppositions net!

The Belgian league format is quite the thing!

----------

At the end of the regular season, each team will have played each other twice. The top 4 teams will go into a playoff for the title. This playoff isn’t a traditional single elimination tournament. Their points from the regular season are divided in half then they play each of the 3 other teams in that playoff two more times each. The top remaining team will get the title and, using current allocations, the Champions League group stage. Second place will get a CL playoffs birth. Third Europa League.

Here’s where it gets confusing. 5th-8th place will also go into a playoff with the exact format as the 1st-4th, but only the team that finishes on top of that playoff in 5th place will get a birth to play the bottom team from the top 4 group for a Europa Conference League spot. This is like a one game cup final.

So in summary:

1: CL group stages

2: CL Playoffs

3: Europa League

4-5 playoff winner: Conference League

Great to see him back in form. As I've said before if we can get someone like Reggie putting balls on head he will score goals for us for fun. Big strong and will be a nightmare for defenders to deal with. Cant wait to see him in a Brentford shirt. COYB!

He was never out of form! If you use goals scored as your only indicator then yes he was out of form, but if you'd bothered to watch any of Club Brugge's games you would know that he's been playing really well and creating loads for them. The fact that they've won every game in the play offs and are now joint top with Anderlecht is no coincidence. Igor Thiago has had a huge impact on most of those games and could well be our most decorated player when he joins us in the summer if Club Brugge go on to win the Europa Conference.

Brugge are probably up against their toughest opponents of the season in Fiorentina. Looking forward to it, though.

Would love it, love it if he scored the winner v Villa in the Final!!!
Maybe then some of our expert TV and Radio pundits might suddenly realise we've already signed him!!!
Probably not though!!! ?
Then flashing the ‘Z’ at the Villa fans for a laugh.

how do you get TNT5 which its on ?
I only know that it’s on Discovery+ (the old BT Sport channel) starting at 7:45pm. I don’t know about accessing it from other companies (e.g. Sky, Amazon Prime, etc.)
