Any Belgians knocking about with local media insight as to whether there's any truth in this?

I live in Belgium, and have Belgian permanent residency, but I'm far, far from being Belgian. I'll have a watch of the 6 o'clock news when I'm round at Mrs. BiB's place later, and report back. However, I'm sure the British press will have got hold of something in the meantime.

This guy scored 205 goals in the under 18s league in one season when he was 15 haha!

He already has one in every two strike rate at 17 in Anderlecht first team. Has over 50 games for ful side already as well. Haven't seen him in action but can't help but to be impressed with that.

cant help but be impressed by scoring for fun the the Belgian league? really?

i know almost NOTHING about the Belgian league, but it does sound a little underwhelming when you try and big up it like that tbh.

Look, he's a hot prospect that is coveted by a lot of big clubs, and so i'd be glad if we landed a hot young prospect. I've watched the YouTube videos and it's...whatever. A dude bagging in a lot of goals from tap-ins, and some nice moves. He looks like a striker with a large frame who has some reasonably good ball control and skills as well. I guess that's why they are calling him "the next Drogba." I can see why they'd make the comparison.

Also, he could be the next Royston Drenthe. It's so easy to get excited by these youngsters after a great tourney or a solid season or two...but who knows if they will really pan out.

Head to head -- would this kid be better than Big Phil right now? i am not sure of that. I've seen our Ecuadorian Grape Ape score a couple goals this season and really liked what i saw. I'd like to see him play with Tevez and Silva just to see what it would be like. You never know...also, this is not racist. It's endearing. A grape gorilla isn't real...but he does kinda look like Big Phil a tiny bit. Seriously. Love, DM.

the 3 above are regulars for their club sides.... boyata is, as we've all seen, a little way off that yet.... potentially very good though...

[xavi6]

I've seen him a good bit and he is a serious prospect. Built like an absolute tank and knows where the net is, sure his first team record speaks for itself.

It'll probably turn out that he's actually 45 but sure as long as he bangs in goals who cares?!

Can't believe he's 32! Seems like only a couple of years ago he was on loan to us as a youngster!

What a brilliant player he was too...was gutted when we couldn't afford him...he wanted to stay too

He was born in Belgium, so think it is highly unlikely he has fucked around with his age mate. Sure, it has happened with a lot of African teams in the past but this kid is Belgian. Funny how nobody ever says Rooney or Robben are really 45, is it because they're white?

Are you a baldist? do you have something against them because they are bald? so, they look like they have that disease that ages you and kills you before you're 12. Big whoop.

Also, bald is beautiful.

Reminds me of big Phil - still think we could have made something of him

[craigmcfc]

He's good om Football Manager....

Haha exactly what I was going to put. Except I'd have spelt that two letter word correctly!

[avoidconfusion]

I asked my Belgian colleagues and they are all saying that all the papers in Belgium are saying that we signed him but noone knows for sure yet.

Big Phil has the highest shooting accuracy of any player in the Portuguese top flight this season, which I'm sure you will all agree is interesting.
