The situation around Kevin Denkey raises questions at Cercle de Bruges, and if the management thought to avoid questions by not fielding the Togolese this Sunday, they will have it at their expense. Miron Muslic did not give his opinion, but thought no less…
Kevin Denkey left this Saturday to speak with his potential new club. We don’t know if it will be in Europe, but if it was, why leave in such a hurry? One of the hypotheses is that the Togolese is negotiating a gargantuan contract in a Middle Eastern country, and that the Circle is salivating at the idea of hitting the jackpot as well.
His replacement, Felipe Augusto, did not shine and even wasted a huge opportunity at 0-1. “If you want to achieve something against Anderlecht, you have to seize your opportunities.

Of course, Cercle does not want to once again miss the boat of a possible transfer of Denkey. But given his record of service and his current form, it would seem surprising that a club interested now would not agree to wait a few more days – for example, during the break – to discuss with the player…
