  • Nieuwsoverzicht 2017-2018
    r sbe-a nieuwsoverzicht 2017 -2018 Woensdag 21 juni: Het werd een drukke dag op KV Mechelen. Nadat gisteren en eergisteren medische testen op het programma stonden was het vandaag tijd voor de eerste veldtraining van het seizoen. 28 fans en 4 journalisten zagen hoe Yannick Ferrera 19 spelers onze z'n hoede nam. Anthony Swolfs, Laurens Paulussen, Uroš Vitas, Aleksandar Bjelica, Elias Cobbaut, Ahmed El Messaoudi, Željko Filipović, Jeff Callebaut, Tim Matthys, Yohan Croizet, Glenn Claes en Nils Schouterden waren van de partij, net zoals nieuwelingen Hassan Bureima Bandé en Faycal Rherras. Bandé, die vorig seizoen al een tijdje meetrainde, tekende ondertussen een contract voor 2 seizoenen met een optie voor 2 extra seizoenen. Verder waren ook de younsters Hannes Smolders, Arseny Avetisov en Jordy Soladio Kandolo op het appel. Aanvoerder Seth De Witte, die nog niet 100% fit is na z'n operatie aan de adductoren, trainde apart. Deze groep werd aangevuld door Adelin Iliescu, een jonge doelman die zich tijdens deze voorbereiding mocht tonen. Edin Cocalić en Randall Enrique Leal Arley genieten na hun interlandverplichtingen nog van vakantie en Colin Coosemans, Anthony Moris, Jules Van Cleemput, Mats Rits, Sotiris Ninis en Dimitrios Kolovos waren afwezig omwille van blessures. Tot slot waren ook Nicolas Verdier en Jordi Vanlerberghe niet aanwezig. Nicolas Verdier, die enkele weken geleden te horen kreeg dat hij mocht uitkijken naar een andere club, vond onderdak bij KAS Eupen. De beloftevolle Jordi Vanlerberghe werd weggeplukt door Club Brugge KV. De transfersom voor dit jonge talent, dat ook gegeerd was door KAA Gent, zou tussen de 1,5 en de 2 miljoen euro schommelen.
