Hein Vanhaezebrouck, who used to coach KAA Gent, recommended Thibaud Verlinden as a possible new player for the club during the 'Extra Time' show. Vanhaezebrouck indicated that if KAA Gent signed Verlinden, he would probably have regular playing time. On the other hand, Frank Boeckx raised concerns about the high level of competition within the team. Analysts concurred that Verlinden should focus on further establishing himself in the Jupiler Pro League before contemplating a move abroad, especially since his previous attempt outside Belgium was unsuccessful.
