Transfer market opens today: what do we expect?

For those wondering why no reinforcements have been announced yet: the transfer market in Belgium only opens tomorrow, on Jan. 7. So from then on, clubs can attract players or let them go. The transfer window runs until Feb. 3. So Olivier Renard has less than a month to arrange the necessary transfers to make Anderlecht competitive for the last half of the season.

Anderlecht loses against Dender

Anderlecht loses against Dender

Anderlecht slipped considerably with a sour 2-3 defeat against Dender. It started very weak and was soon behind. Purple-White got better into the game and after half an hour it had scored twice itself through Verschaeren and Dreyer. But after halftime Anderlecht, with a substituted Hazard, dropped away completely and Dender punished the lax and too self-confident attitude of Purple-White in the closing stages. Anderlecht only had a few chances after that, but they could not avoid the painful defeat. Purple-White urgently needs to recover in January. Read more »

Too early for Hazard, Vertonghen trains

Frutos: 'Hubert has made Dolberg better'

Frutos: 'Hubert has made Dolberg better'

Kasper Dolberg has understood his responsibilities within Anderlecht's team, according to Nicolas Frutos. In addition to his technical skills, the striker has now developed a positive mindset, thanks in part to the guidance of David Hubert. Under Brian Riemer's previous policy, Dolberg had to put a lot of energy into secondary tasks, such as dropping back into the game and filling spaces on the sides. This led to a less efficient use of his qualities.

Anderlecht takes deserved win in Limburg

Anderlecht takes deserved win in Limburg

Anderlecht returned from St-Truiden with a 0-2 win. Purple and white didn't play great, but it had enough of Dolberg's strikers to settle the score in their favor tonight. The Dane scored once in each half (from the spot after halftime). A (unjustified?) red card by Zanka still forced Anderlecht on the defensive, but STVV didn't get any big chances, although they did regularly create danger with crosses and shots from distance.  Read more »

With Verschaeren and Edozie to STVV

Finally some good news from the sickbay: Samuel Edozie has recovered sufficiently from his injury and will travel to Stayen tomorrow.

Verschaeren may have to play with extra protection. Read more »

Verschaeren is undergoing scans today but he will probably not be able to play. Read more »


Verschaeren left stadium with brace

Verschaeren left stadium with brace

Yari Verschaeren played an excellent first half yesterday but stayed in at halftime with a shoulder or collarbone injury. The midfielder left the stadium with a brace and his look betrayed volumes. A scan has yet to bring clarity, but initial impressions point to a somewhat more serious injury. Verschaeren will probably be out for a while. How Hubert will resolve this is unclear for now.
