Dahnsouff Posted 7 August 2019 Posted 7 August 2019 Certainly looking more likely than not, but the "other targets" comment is curious, but is probaly just a hurry up action to Sampdoria

Saxondale Posted 7 August 2019 Posted 7 August 2019 Cool. On the basis that Ritchie De Laet was (possibly incorrectly) pronounced De Lat, that surely means this bloke is Dennis Prat? EDIT: Actually, football fans' pronunciations are not generally to be relied upon. Paul Kanchelsky, Rachid Gazelle, etc.

I'm liking the idea of him coming, but got to reserve judgement as ive never seen him play

TeePee Posted 7 August 2019 Posted 7 August 2019 According to Rob Tanner, the feeling is that Praet wants to move, so it's basically between us and Sampdoria to thrash an agreement out. They apparently want in the region of €25m, and we're not too keen on paying that much for someone who may only be the backup option, and would prefer a loan with option to buy (or presumably a lower outright fee).

Ever get the feeling that Tielemans has spoken to him to convince him to sign? Also, my personal opinion is that £20m(ish) isn't that bad and I would pay it. It's not an outrageous fee for an 'all round' midfielder. I'd be happy for the club to pay this.

Eh, I'm less excited by it tbh - if we didn't have Adrien Silva sitting in the squad (or looked like we were going to get money in the £15-20m vicinity for him), I'd be a bit happier, but it feels like we're spending more money than we'd need to on a player who's likely to be third choice in his best position. For me, Adrien Silva could do that role to at least a comparable level, and wouldn't cost us eight figures and god knows what in additional wages (yes, he'll still be on decent wages, but we're paying those anyway, might as well play him!). Can't help but feel we could be better investing that money elsewhere in the squad. Happy to be proved wrong though, and if he does come through the door I'm sure he'll do a job, just feels a bit steep. A loan deal for me is the best option here.

When did you last exchange money? Pre Brexit I assume. £23.4m and climbing.

The interviewer says it straight away here.
