This is a club who's most expensive purchases were 6 million 4.5 million and 4.3 million Euro, and biggest sales were 27 million, 17 million and 12 million Euro. I don't necessarily think they'd turn down a record sale judging on their past business, especially as with any asset like a player, they can depreciate in value very quickly (if he has a bad season or picks up a major injury).
Really will depend how much we want him/he wants us and if any other club is interested enough to bid.

Pretty sure he’s top for Belgium news

If we want him, and that’s the difference, just do it FFS

Can we get a gift receipt in case it doesn't work?
I personally think this is probably very close to done already. With all the ITK around Orban over the last week or so, you would think the groundwork has already been done.
These reports are most likely just Gent using the media to appease their fans to show they are trying to get a massive deal for Orban. I think this gets done early next week.

I can’t see how people are super excited about this. He’s had one year at top ish football in Belgium and we’re throwing 30m at him? Isn’t that an insane risk ?
wouldn’t it be a lot more safer to go for someone more established who we know isn’t having a good purple patch in a poor league ?

You’re not getting someone more established with a high ceiling for 30M.

Undecided. Deffo come up with iffy/outright wrong stuff on non-Belgian players/players outside the Belgian league.

Am I missing something? Why am getting a load of WTFs?

Your basis of him having a high ceiling is very risky considering he’s never even played youth level football

It’s a punt, to be sure, but this lad’s rise has been nothing short or meteoric. His statistical finishing rate is in the absolute top bracket.
It may well turn out to be a flash in the pan but it’s exciting and a risk well worth taking. With Scarlett and Veliz (himself recognized as one of the top teenage strikers in the world) we are well-positioned for the future even if Orban is a flop.

I agree it’s a risk worth taking absolutely, I just don’t know why everyone’s so cool about him coming in at a time where even our starting striker is under question when maybe we should be looking a safer bet
