Why not try Benji van den Broek again? Central midfielder, captain of his team in the Jupiler League (ok, not a great league, but higher than SSP). Does it matter he wasn't apparently popular with the team? I wouldn't have thought so....was it Duncan Cole who was an outsider in the 82 AWs? Didn't seem to stop him being a good player
There are any number of players that could be tried, but Anfony has gone so far down a path with youngsters (who wont be peaking until either the 2022 or 2026 World Cups) that he can't turn back now
