    Michel Ribeiro was an assistant at SKC who referred Genk to Pierre after he left SKC to take an assistant job at Genk.

    This will be interesting. Pierre, 21, has never played more than 1000 minutes in a season for SKC's first team. He's had injuries, but mostly its because he fell behind Jake Davis for right back.

    Davis and Pierre are roughly the same age (Davis born in 2002, Pierre born in 2003) and both joined SKC's academy in 2017 from neighboring towns in Michigan.

    Looks like this will get over the line before the window closes. One US defender leaves Genk and another joins.

    He played every match from mid 19 Jun through 7 July, including 4 starts. He also played a half on 17 July. Since then he played on 9 Aug in Leagues Cup. He was not in the squad on 24 Aug. Looks like this one is a done deal.

    On this podcast, there is a discussion as well about the transfer and what it means from a SKC perspective. The specific discussion starts at 38:55.

    I always thought this kid played better for SKC than he was given credit for. Eager to see how he does abroad.

    The Medical has been completed with no reported problems. The Belgium window closes on 6 Sep, not this weekend, so there is still time.

    The plan was to pay a few matches with Jong Genk (U23 team) in the Challenger Pro League (2nd Division) then work his way into the full Genk squad. That timeline might be sped up some.

    Time for a name change as well. Thoughts.

    Kayden Pierre at Genk (really boring I know)
    It is Genk not Gent or Ghent or Gand - Kayden Pierre at KRC Genk
    From Burnt Ends to Limburger cheese - Kayden Pierre at KRC Genk

    #2 is very educational, I'm all for it. Too bad there is no Gunt there, would be visually appealing too.

    Quotes from today's match:

    "“It was a good test for our defensive organization,” Fink reflected on an instructive practice match. “PSV demanded possession, our redesigned defense had a hard time. Bangoura and debutant Pierre pulled their plans off well in an unusual position for them. This was also a good test for several youngsters.”

    The Croky Cup Round of 32 Draw has been held. Genk will travel to Beveren of the Challenger Pro League.

    @dark knight please change the title of the thread to the following - "It is Genk not Gent or Ghent or Gand - Kayden Pierre at KRC Genk" He has not played for the regular side in an official match, so no promotion to the big thread yet. Thanks.

    Deinze vs Jong Genk
    20 Oct
    14:00 EST
    Not on ESPN +

    Jong Genk gets a chance to play at almost bankrupt Deinze. There is massive speculation that the Singapore investors of Denize have turned off the money and are looking to sell the club. It is possible that if a new owner is not found soon the team will not complete the season. Recent days have been a little more positive on that scene. Pierre should start.
