[Football] Union Saint-Gilloise

[Slum_Wolf]

Cor how I would love to see Brighton topping the Europa league group stage. I know it's a micky mouse competition but difficult to imagine even 5 years ago let alone 10.

Inspiring stuff from USG, knock out rounds now and anything can happen - get yourself on the Champions League!

If you think the Europa league is Mickey Mouse, I want to go to Disneyland

Adingra on the bench today home to Westerlo. If Union win and the post-Felice Mazzù Anderlecht can get at least a point at Antwerp, Union could end the weekend in second.

Losing 1-0 unfortunately, just under half an hour to go

 

[Slum_Wolf]

1-1. 92nd minute equaliser by Nilsson. Next up Cappellen in the cup, then Alzate's Standard Liege away next Sunday.

7-1 win tonight away to Royal Cappellen FC in the Belgian Cup. Adingra with a couple.

A loan in the championship next season? With Mitoma, Sarmiento, Enciso, Trossard and March to compete against, his first team changes may be limited.

Probably not trossard, but I get your point

Yep, I'd go for that. Even League1 - it might be just as good for him to really tear up a league.

 

[Slum_Wolf]

Union now second after a fine 3-2 win at Alzate's Standard Liège. Adingra came on at the end so not much chance to show anything.

Union 2-1 win at home to Oostende tonight in the Belgian Cup. Adingra with the 84th minute winner.

Decent finish by Adingra, with a clever run by Boniface across to distract the keeper.

Thanks so much for these regular updates. I suspect that you've seen a fair bit of Adingra now. Care to provide a summary? We've made a number of similar profile (young, transfer fee of c£5-10m, quick) forward signings in recent years and Adingra seems to have a lot more promise than Zeqiri and Sima.

Strange defending. Why didnt defender stand in front of him

Strange defending. Why didnt defender stand in front of him

Very strange, its like he was trying to show him down the outside forgetting that they were far too central for that to be a decent option.

Hopefully Adingra can qualify for a work permit at the end of the season as being able to spend pre-season at least in and around the first team squad would be good for him.

Yes, I should get out more...if nothing else to actually see Union in person soon. Hopefully some of the fans stop throwing flares about so they don't shut the terrace...

Well, Adingra's Union stats are better than Mitoma's already and only halfway through the season

Still raw but only turns 21 New Year's day, so to be expected. Two footed and very quick thinking, as shown by his latest goal in the cup. The defender was no doubt aware that he often shoots with his right but wasn't expecting him to shoot so early. Hard working up and down the wing.

See his league goals here - Sint Truiden, Zulte, Eupen, Cercle and Oostende



Belgian Cup - 3 goals. 2 at Cappellen, and 1 at home to Oostende on Tuesday.

His 2 assists away to Braga in the Europa League too.

Eleven Sports show most of the games at 3.49 Euro, no doubt dodgy streams available too... https://elevensports.com/en/club/r-union-st-gilloise-cnu3ss

Union 0-0 at half time to Oostende. Only half watching but a couple of good breaks down the wing by our man Adingra...

 

[Slum_Wolf]

Soft penalty for Union, then our man Adingra makes it 2-0...a nice little move with Boniface.

 

[Slum_Wolf]

Good day for Tony B's teams, Dante Vanzeir with a third in injury time. 3-0.

 

[Slum_Wolf]

Union's goals against Oostende on Monday. Nice turn from Adingra to start the move for his goal.
