Núrio Fortuna has cost them 6 million (!), i don't think that he is bought to sit on the bench : (

Again, milad had an excellent season and was included in the official team of the season as well. His performances vs roma in latter stages of season, adding more assists to his game were really impressive. I really don’t think his spot is at risk. Nurio played for Charleroi and we all saw him play countless times, he has a good engine but is not more technically refined than Milad or more solid on defense. It makes sense that the coach wants multiple good options because as we saw this season they struggled to balance Europa and league play at times, and full backs in agent’s system are the only “wide” players (no real wings) so they get through a ton of work, and struggle to maintain a really high level 3x a week.

And if any of our guys can deal with competition it’s milad. He went from a trial with a small Austrian team to signing with Grozny and grinding for 4 years in chechnya, didn’t play for first 6 months then became one of their best players. Even in gent for first couple months he was backup then took over the starting role without question.

In my personal opinion, I think they may have bought him in case Milad departs in future. Their other fullback Castro-Montes has already been rumored to Sevilla despite having a weaker season than Milad:

He played for about 70 minutes against Lens yesterday so he may not be starting today.

hes been splitting halves with nurio, now splitting succesive matches.

It will be a battle for him, but he has been playing well judging from Gent twitter feed updates, game highlights. Hit the bar the other night vs brugge.

Regardless there will be many games and what we saw from Thorup last year, especially on the RB slot when he had 2 similar level players (milad took over LB spot undisputedly) was that he liked to rotate them a lot to keep them fresh as their is a huge emphasis on them in the 4-3-1-2 system to provide all the width and penetration in behind. I think we will see similar rotation with nurio and milad this year.

Makes sense bc last season Gent were a far way behind brugge in 2nd mainly due to dropping pts after europa league nights. If they are shooting for Title and good CL performance this year rotation will be important.

[Dortmund]

His team signed Niklas Dorsch who is a decent defensive midfielder, looking more like a team to get through qualification stages

I still think milad will be the starter. I've seen nurio play and he's not that good defensively.

Either way, like others have mentioned here, Gent's current system relies heavily on the fullbacks exerting absolute peak amounts of work with milad and castro montes asare etc expected to participate in defense and act as wingers in transition.

Plus, if they are participating in european comps again they will definitely need to rotate. Milad was literally benched for like the first half of the season and still almost played over 2000 minutes total.

He is on 70min. 3/2 Lyon

Damn, he's really good. Gent picked up a gem!

Yes, a lot of surprise in Germany about his signing. He had interest from a few Bundesliga sides in upper mid table.

milad and nurio split halves again today in the 3-0 win over metz.

Dorsch made his debut (started second half with milad) and from highlights looked really good as well.

Leeds United are back in the Premier League and could be set to sign KAA Gent full-back Milad Mohammadi ahead of next season, says Football Insider.
Mohammadi, 26, would cost around €7m after the Iran international impressed in the Belgian league this campaign.

This would be an interesting move for Milad to play in the EPL. I personally would love it if they're giving him a starting role.
