Yeah, that was weird. Stupid red card though. But glad we got 3 points :)

EDIT: apparantly Kums told Habibou that Milicevic had to take the penalty. Cool that we have a leader who isn't afraid to make decisions

Well, that was poo poo. At least we're getting a few "easier" games now, after those heavy early fixtures. Let's hope Dury gets his poo poo together, ffs.

He's a winger for Club Bruges. He looks like a meth addict, had a good season in 2012-2013, then fell back into mediocrity in 2013-2014. Just like other garbagemen like Jelle Vossen, he's been linked to foreign clubs for way too long and he'll end up going to a Championship side or Sunderland.

He's not being linked to Milan, is he?

This is exactly what I didn't want to hear because it is the most late-market Milan type signing that always goes through and then we're stuck with some turd for 3 years. loving hell, thanks.

There's still uXs and maybe Green-Eyed Loco Man. The Costa Ricans may also have seen him if he ran anywhere near Duarte.

He joined us a few years ago when he was just a tiny little babby, bought from a team that went bankrupt. He spent some time improving, getting better. The year before last he was brilliant, everything worked and his assist and goal stats were awesome. Last year was not as good, but his stats still make him one of our best players. I blame his loss of form on Bacca leaving us, him wanting to maybe leave, and just not being able to keep up his amazing form.

I'd be rather sorry to see him go, because even when he's rubbish he can still score and be dangerous, and he never ever gives less than a 100%.

Anyway, type of player: fast, very fast, during the entire game. Don't be surprised if you see him in full sprint on the attack over half the pitch, then running back all the way to defend. Multiple times per game. Seriously, he just does not stop. He can play both on the left and the right, but being a lefty he'll mostly come inside when he plays on the right. A bit like Robben maybe.

He's had a few injuries, but I wouldn't (unlike certain other players in our squad) describe him as injury-prone. His biggest negative is probably that he's, um, not the smartest player ever. Don't give him complicated instructions because in 10 seconds he'll have forgotten all of them. Just put him on the field and point him in the direction of the goal and you'll be happy you did.

That's actually what most of Milan's players lack. We need players who wont give up half way through or when they're down. This is still very much a rumor but this makes me feel a lot better. Thanks for the writeup! As long as he works hard and gives his all I can't complain too much.

Some dude on the Club forum says he spotted Max today on a plane to Doha, Qatar. I don't know if that makes the link to Milan stronger or weaker?

Well I didn't say he was the second coming of Christ. I also think going straight to Milan would be skipping a step, I don't think he's ready for that.

It's not like he would be starting. Hopefully it's a loan or something, if it's true at all. He'd be back up to El Sha anyway.

The silly/sad thing is that he's easily one of the best wingers still in the Jupiler Pro League, but he's poo poo anyway.

You guys really missed Kums once he went off. Last year, he was always exactly where he needed to be to pick up the ball and keep the pressure up. Kortrijk just had too much breathing room.

Yup. It's pretty amazing how big the difference with or without him is. Hope he's not out for too long, haven't heard anything so I guess it's nothing serious.
