AA Gent was already very active on the transfer market. In the Nieuwsblad, Gert Verheyen analyzes the incoming transfers from AA Ghent.
Especially the arrival of left back Nurio, which costs no less than five million, caught the eye. “It is the best of the left backs known to us,” says Gert Verheyen. “But you never know if a player is worth that price. Has he played at AA Gent for eight years or is he sold for a lot of money? But it is clearly a strategy of AA Gent to get players who know the league.”
AA Gent mainly strengthened the defense. Although the qualities of acquisitions Botaka and Nurio are mainly in possession of the ball. “Does Ghent see a defensive added value in Nurio? They have brought in defenders to take fewer goals against. But the greatest quality is what he can put on the attack.”
– about Arslanagic: “A transfer-free Belgian. They wouldn’t have paid three million for it. Now you won’t hurt yourself with that.”
– about De Bruyn: “Potentially an interesting player who showed nice things at STVV. I think he can be more decisive in the last thirty meters than Dejaegere.”
