NewConvert Posted March 14, 2023 Report Share Posted March 14, 2023 And I am also pleased that Joel King was left out whose selection always baffled me given that Bos was streets ahead of him prior to the WC. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better to go to a club where he's going to actually play for the seniors. As Metcalfe is doing. Yesterday I thought he overplayed his hand a bit TBH.

Tommykins Posted April 21, 2023 Report Share Posted April 21, 2023 Vaguely on the topic, but we're getting absolutely murdered at NPL 2 level this yeas, where Western United is flying, though the profile of their squad is a little older than ours.

neio Posted April 28, 2023 Report Share Posted April 28, 2023 Strong rumours he is heading to KVC Westerlo in Belgium. They are currently in a Europa Conference League Spot and their current LB is on loan from Club Brugge. Looks like a very good move if it eventuates, goes to a reasonable league to a team playing European football with a real good chance of getting starting minutes 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some Aussies have done well in Belgium in the past coming from the A-league so that's a good sign. You wouldn't expect a mid tier Belgium club to be splashing much money on transfer usually. They obviously see the value in him and will want to cash in on their investment ie: play him consistently then sell him off in 2 years for $5+ million or more! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also looks like Westerlo have been alternating between playing their local boy De Cuyper and USA player Reynolds in the LB role. Interestingly they are both on loan to the club and have also both been playing in the RB role to. I would assume they may try extend the loan of one of these players and have Bos competing for the LB spot... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reckon even Bos may get trialled at RB too. Either way surely he's getting quite a bit of game time over there. I had a look at their squad and based on players values it doesn't look like a big difference to the quality in the A-league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewConvert Posted July 19, 2023 Report Share Posted July 19, 2023 I have just finished watching KVC Westerlo vs SC Herenveen and Westerlo vs PAOK Sagonika on YouTube. Bos is getting full game time and does not look out of place. Very physical games but he holds his own. His internal competition is a 20 year old Tuur Romens who last season was captain of Young Gent. Interestingly enough against Herenveen the opposition did not foray down the left flank very often as Bos just owned the turf. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHFC-FAN Posted July 29, 2023 Report Share Posted July 29, 2023 Round 1 of the Belgium league kicks off tonight. Will be anticipating Bos to start and hopefully he bosses it down that left flank. No idea where to watch Belgian league. Bein sports perhaps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
