https://sportwitness.co.uk/leicester-city-man-insists-no-regrets-transfer-unhappy-failed-exit/ Leicester City man insists no regrets over transfer – But was unhappy at failed exit He originally joined in a €19m deal from Sampdoria in August 2019 but was never able to establish himself properly, largely due to several injury issues. It means his total for the club is far below what most would expect given the time he’s been there, but the 29-year-old insists he doesn’t regret a thing. “I don’t regret it,” he said. “I really wanted to go to the Premier League, that choice was quickly made. I have also experienced many beautiful moments. But yeah, I just wanted to play a lot more. That’s the painful part. “I’m at the end of my contract and ready for something new. I am now 29 and physically at the peak of my career. I definitely want to become important somewhere again, so that I can find the fun in the game again.” While he may not regret the move to Leicester, he certainly was left disappointed by their decision to block a permanent move to Torino in 2022. He joined the Italian club in August 2021 and was a regular for them that year, establishing himself as a key player and making 24 appearances in all competitions. They were very much keen on a permanent deal and held talks with Leicester throughout the summer but the Foxes demands proved too high and a permanent move never came to fruition. That clearly left Praet disappointed, although he insists he never made a fuss behind the scenes regardless. “Yes, but it never happened,” he said when asked about the option in the past. “In Leicester they thought I was a bit too good, too useful, too versatile to let me go cheaply. I’m not an argumentative person either, I’m not the man to push through a transfer. But Torino is a team I would definitely listen to now.”

https://sportwitness.co.uk/leicester-man-admits-many-things-going-ahead-summer-patiently-waiting-transfer-wants/ Leicester City man admits he has “many things going on” ahead of summer – Patiently waiting for transfer he wants Leicester City midfielder Dennis Praet has admitted he would love a return to Italy this summer, when he becomes a free agent. The Belgian midfielder has been speaking to Het Nieuwsblad about his plans for the summer when he becomes a free agent at the end of his contract with the Foxes. He’s been with Leicester since a €19.2m move from Sampdoria in August 2019 but has endured something of a frustrating five year spell at the club. That’s largely been down to injuries, which have seen him limited to 107 appearances despite his half decade with them. Indeed, those injuries appeared to have put something of an end to his time with the club, with them electing to send him out on loan back to Italy with Torino for the 2021/22 season. He returned from that loan spell and managed 27 appearances for Leicester last season before adding to that tally this season playing a largely substitute role under Enzo Maresca in the Championship. It’s because of that he’ll be leaving on a free in the summer when his contract comes to an end and while he’s not decided anything yet, Italy is very much at the forefront of his mind. “I’m at the end of my contract and ready for something new,” he said. “I am now 29 and physically at the peak of my career. I definitely want to become important somewhere again, so that I can find the fun in the game again. “Fortunately, there are already a number of things going on, so I am quite relaxed. I just have to be a little more patient. It is logical that some clubs do not yet know their budgets. “Well, it’s true that Italy will always have the edge. I played three years at Sampdoria and one year at Torino and those were my best years abroad. Tactical football in Italy also appeals to me enormously. “We also had an Italian coach this season with Enzo Maresca and he made an impression. Especially on the English players. They said they had never learned so much. Apart from that, life in Italy is also great, and I speak the language. “The focus now is on finding the right club. I am realistic enough to realize that a top four team from a top competition will not suddenly come and get me. But if I end up at a nice mid-range club where I can become a pioneer: that’s also good. And if it is in a location where it is fun for my family to stay, then that is a bonus.”

Do they just not bother booking keepers for time wasting anymore and just “add” it back on?

Yeah sod all the kids that never got to experience 13/14 or 15/16 and could very well never see their club actually win anything every again like plenty of other clubs! Go sit at home and have a sulk instead!

I mean I can't imagine he would get much better if any reassurances from Sevilla that we couldn't give him, especially regarding squad investment

It wouldn't be better for him at Sevilla

Decent trophy haul to retire with

He hurt himself celebrating after the Preston game on Monday

Enzo Maresca Pre-Match Press Conference vs Blackburn Rovers Injuries? “The only one is Kiernan. He had a small problem the other day, so he will be out.” Celebrations this week? “We continued to enjoy the moment. When you work every day to achieve something, you have to celebrate.” Encourage the players to celebrate? “I encourage it, but there is a limit in terms of we have a game tomorrow. There is time to do everything, but you have to be able to manage it.” This week? “They are fantastic moments. I enjoy a lot. Because there are so many things happening, you don’t realise 100 per cent. Next week, we are all off, and we can realise better.” Looking forward to trophy lift? “Especially because it’s at home in front of our people. We saw the environment in our stadium when we needed it. It will be good for all of us. Tomorrow will be a nice day.” Blackburn? “It’s a team that are playing to survive. So we need to be aware of that. They are going to be 100 per cent. They have been unlucky this season. The previous manager was doing good work. The new one is trying, but it’s not easy. They are still there. They have a chance to stay in the Championship.” 100 points? “It could be something important for sure. Nobody has won 32 games in the Championship before, so we have the chance to be the team to win 32 games.” Excited to be a Premier League manager? “Very excited. We work every day for that. We achieve it. Now the next one is the break we need. Then we talk about next season.” Mentioned issues you wanted to iron out? “I already mentioned in January, in the window, when we had some problems. I said it was not the moment. At the end of the season, we can talk about it. The same thing with the financial problems. Nobody told me, which I don’t think it’s the right thing to do. There are things we need to clarify. For the rest, we are fantastic. We are all happy.” Transfer for Fatawu and Yunus? “It’s the club that’s going to manage that situation.” Most difficult and favourite moment from season? “When you join a club that has just been relegated, there are many things to do, inside and outside the pitch. It’s not the best mood so you have to work in different areas. I enjoyed all of the season, even when we dropped points. You can see how people behave when you drop points. All of the moments have been very good.” Are celebrations tempered by potential points deductions? “I don’t care about that. We work every day to achieve our target. I’m the most happy man in the world at this moment. Our lawyers control that. Hopefully we can find a solution." Relationship with fans? “Good. We are all the same. When we drop points, we are not happy. But overall, it’s the same situation everywhere. Next season will be different. Most people have in mind the recent history, the last 10 years. Next year, it’s quite clear our target is to avoid relegation as soon as possible.” Promoted clubs have struggled this year? “Exactly. Not only this year. 90% of the time, promoted clubs are in the relegation battle. We need to understand our target.” Transfer embargo? “In terms of the embargo, it’s not my job. There are lawyers in charge for that. Hopefully we can find a solution.” Transfers? “In this moment, we have not talked about the transfers. From next week, we will plan next season.”

From the celebration I assume

Can I get £25 worth?

Not sure why his representatives or someone close to him would be talking to L’Equipe but oh well https://www.lequipe.fr/Football/Actualites/Jamie-vardy-proche-d-une-prolongation-a-leicester/1464928 According to our information, their request was heard. “ There are ongoing discussions and it is very likely that Jamy will sign for one more year ,” confides one of those close to him . And we will then take stock again in a year . “Jamie hasn't changed, he still parties occasionally, he has kept the same friends and he sometimes misses training sessions ,” continues our interlocutor who adds that the third top scorer in the history of Leicester in the Championship (with 174 goals) nevertheless takes particular care in his recovery: “Jamie has installed a cryogenic chamber and an oxygen tent at home where he sometimes stays for more than an hour watching a broadcast series on Netflix... For the moment, Jamie does not set an age limit for continuing to play because he is recovering well and still feels capable of playing at a very high level.”

I actually think it would look even more similar to how his heat map looks for Bologna (a lot more presence in that actual deep left back area and inside left area of the box) as we will have to be sat in the actual back 4 a lot more as like you say I expect there will be a lot more defending for us to do

I kinda hope that Enzo would have a sit down with him before anything is done with Bologna to just show him after 1 full season of the system under him that whilst yes it isn’t like a traditional full back role, it isn’t like you are only playing as effectively a centre back which I do think will have been his main worry I do think he would be very suitable for the role Kristiansen’s heat map compared to JJ’s and especially Doyle’s isn’t really that different Kristiansen Doyle JJ

Accidentally left a fusion core in my power armor which I left at a settlement Came back to the settlement to a raider running around in it blasting my settlers ffs

It actually seems pretty good

I didn’t realise he is 26, I thought he was about 23

Having a look through players whose contracts are up in 2025: Centre back: Maxence Lacroix (24) - Wolfsburg Zeno Debast (20) - Anderlecht Oumar Solet (24) - RB Salzburg Ben Cabango (23) - Swansea City Centre back / Left back: Joaquin Piquerez (25) - Palmeiras Lilian Brassier (24) - Brest Jeanuël Belocian (19) - Rennes Defensive mid: Dirk Proper (22) - NEC Nijmegen Centre mid / 8: Hyun-Seok Hong (24) - Gent Sebastian Nanasi (21) - Malmo Jordan James (19) - Birmingham Filip Marchwinski (22) - Lech Poznan Winger: Amad Diallo (21) - Man Utd Samuel Iling-Junior (20) - Juventus Jonathan Rowe (21) - Norwich City Roger (18) - Braga Striker: Vangelis Pavlidis (25) - AZ Alkmaar

The below reason for forcing people into digital is such a big lie lmao - Admit supporters more efficiently into the stadium on matchdays; If anything it makes it worse

Didn’t realise Jonathan Rowe at Norwich will only have 1 year left on his deal in the summer Would be good to try for if they don’t go up as competition for Fatawu and Mavididi as he can play both sides

Not long enough, should be 5 years! Honestly should be 1 year with an option for another
