FoxesWalk Posted 18 June 2021 Share Posted 18 June 2021 (edited) 1 hour ago, Spudulike said: What is a club like ours? I think we have assembled a group of talent that you would expect at a top six Premier League club. That's what the club is. A club not in the champions league and with a budget considerably smaller than our competitors. It’s arguably a stronger midfield roster than the majority of CL teams, in the Premier League who has an all round better set of midfielders? Maybe Chelsea and City? Basically because of Kante and de Bruyne being the standouts in their positions in the world. I don’t think we can argue Leicester are on the same level as Manchester United or Liverpool in many ways (in the most important measure, points, we are close!), but our midfield is arguably better than theirs.

UHDrive Posted 18 June 2021 Share Posted 18 June 2021 15 hours ago, FoxesWalk said: Agreed. Tielemans, Ndidi, Maddison, Soumaré, Praet and KDH is a sensational set of midfielders for a club like ours. (Assuming Praet stays, but that spot could easily be Mendy, expect Hamza to go) Praets spot could never be taken by mendy or hamza or anyone else for that matter in our sqaud. Hence left footed RW is very relevant as a summer recruit with praet to link up with with the new RW and CM. You can't put anyone else in the position. By all means sell him next year and by another.

He's a full Belgian international whose last manager called him the best MF in Serie A. The rest of the footballing world knows Praet's value even if Rodgers doesn't - selling him won't be difficult. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be a coincidence, could be that they were teasing an announcement for something and then whatever it was got delayed or cancelled, could be the social media team taking the piss out of us. Think there's evidence to support all three of those conclusions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's more that we may have trouble keeping him rather than having trouble selling him. He provides important depth, but is good enough to get more game time elsewhere, even in a decent European Champions League team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was talking about players being on end of season holidays and at the Euros etc. But he pointed out we may also just want to pass the cost to the next financial window. The financial year for most businesses runs til April, but FFP and similar spending rules for both the Premier League and UEFA run usually til the end of the season, which is typically the end of June, no? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
