i'll have a google at that later

if anyone could share a working stream it would be highly appreciated :)

may I also kindly request it ?

2 and a half seasons in a row.

Last season he was playing with the u21. This season he started as the second goalkeeper. As Genk sold him to Chelsea and putting him in goal would have their other goalkeeper unhappy plus decrease in value. Throughout the season it became very clear to the new genk manager (and way before that tonthe fans) that penders was a class above the other goalkeeper and since new year he has become the number 1 goalkeeper and make several crucial interventions. He did get a red card once at the end. But on return instantly got put back into the goal. And he will be the goalkeeper for the rest of the season if he doesn't get injured.

For those interested. Penders was MOM in his last game. His current team Genk is currently on top of the league. Here is a good reflex from last game. Tbf, he didn't have much to do. But what he had to do. He did great. It's an important traits to remain focused 90 min in games you are dominant. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DGvxA7RuZeu/?igsh=MXF4OGVlaHRjeWlzOA==

Not saying he is ready yet for Chelsea. Obviously he still has a lot to learn as he is only 19. The above is more for those that have no idea of his current situation, that he is on the right track. I hope they give him a loan to a dominant team in a top competition next year. Like they did with Courtois, who also came from Genk.

For those that want to know how Penders is doing. He is currently playing for the first team of Genk. They are first in the Belgian competition and still in the Belgian Cup. Here are a couple of highlights from Genk in 2025. Obviously because these are match highlights you can't really see how his footwork is. But it is one of his better traits. Together with staying focus 90 min. As Genk is a dominant team like Chelsea. Sometimes he barely has anything to do all game. But when we call on him. Here is there.

I understand that from the outside. It looks a bit of a strange transfer. 20 mil for a youngster that only played 1 game for the first team. But he did play already 2 seasons against professional adults. And last season he had a bunch of similar saves on crucial moments in the game that were result decisive. He has some amazing reflexes and despite being a double meter. He can go very fast to the ground. This and the fact that he is not easily phased by circumstances are probably the biggest similarities that he has with Courtois. Well that and the fact that we bought Courtois also from Genk. 😁 As for his character. The total opposite from Thibaut. He is loved by everyone in the club and not just by their wags.

For those interested. Here is a link with the highlights from Jong Genk last weekend. Jong Genk is the youth squad from Genk. Therefore the small audience. That being said. He still played against an adult team as Jong Genk plays in the second division (the championship of Belgium). Which is a competition of prof clubs with 3 youth teams. Genk being on of them. Penders started off playing for the 1st squad, but the coach decided that due to the negotiations with Chelsea, to play the other goalkeeper in the first team instead. Don't think this will happen much longer as Penders is clearly a few levels above. Having watched the entire game. Played again a good game. Highlights Jong Genk last weekend.

Wait until he hears about "our Project" 😬

That would be 15 mil extra in the bank.

Who reads the rules before playing a game... Let's just skip the tutorials and jump straight in to the action. I'm sure you can revive 3 times before it's game over.

He did indeed. In 35 games. Which is 10 more than Victor. Apart from that. I am sure that the Milan fans were very happy to have that 37 year old Giroud who was topscorer of their club getting them to the 2nd spot in the Serie A. But coming back to Victor. He is more than just his goals. He is also a presence upfront. Very good with his head. I also disagree with taking away that one season suddenly makes him average. He has been highly regarded in every competition that he played at those times. Having approx an average of 1 goal every 2 games is good. Especially because he never played at the best teams in those competition. I am sure that if we would sign Watkins. You would be happy. And he has similar goals. Not saying goals are the only metric that count. Watkins eg. Is proven in the prem. and maybe you also don't rate him. But you don't have to score every season 20 goals at the sub-top to be a good striker in my books.

Even in his sh*t season last year he managed to score 15 goals in 25 games. We would really benefit from him.
