Chris Durkin at Sint-Truidense V.V. (Belgium)

Their game against Zulte-Waregem on Saturday is on ESPN+.

 

I just noticed that too. So rare to see games from Belgium. I hope he starts.

 

Looks like 3 per week according to their new deal

 

Not anymore!

 

How many Yanks do we have in Belgium now?

Durkin
McKenzie
Miazga
Efford
Hines-Ike
Horvath

Yea that's about it. Daniel Schmidt is half American but he plays for Japan.

 

so in that case we can watch only half of a match in his honor.

 

I didn't watch this game (went to LDLT at Heracles) but they lost 1-2.

 

is he the most high profile DC United player to find success once leaving the club?

 

First, define “success”

Is starting for the 15th team in the 18 team Belgian league success? It’s okay and not bad for someone his age. But success?

Also define “high profile.” Durkin wasn’t a starter at DC

Even among American players at DCU to move to Europe and do well, Sanneh comes to mind

 

Najar had a decent run at a bigger Belgian team. But that’s still not much.

 

Rimando is a legend in Salt Lake City.

 

Bobby convey? Ryan Nelson?

 

Kitchen level success. If it's not oxymoron.

 

I totally forgot about his existence same as Najar.

 

Andy Najar was very good, at one point even the best right back in the Belgian league. But then injuries completely destroyed him.

In Belgium's Jupiler League: Richmond, Virginia's own Chris Durkin starting for St. Truiden as they visit Sporting Charleroi at 2:45pm EST.

 

There's an option to buy on this right?

 

wasn't he sold last year?

 

Yeah, I'd put it at Nelsen, Sanneh, Convey - don't forget Convey started on a Reading squad that shredded the Championship (106 points in '05/'06) & despite injury issues he never really overcame, Convey made 29 PL appearances.

But let's not forget Pablo Hernandez, who played a half-season on loan in 2010 before terminating his loan. Hernandez played 4 seasons in La Liga with Celta de Vigo (118 appearances) and made 30 appearances for Chile's national team.

 

Yes, I think it was in the 250K range.
