Players like Praet who are good enough to play for their country but can't start for their team must go through hell. That's international football , loads of bench players get picked for their countries. Praet made a big mistake coming to us , he was a starter in Italy. We must pay him more though so at least he is not out of pocket. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good players have tons of faith in their own ability & I'm sure he thought he could be a starter here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Earle Posted 26 June 2021 Share Posted 26 June 2021 I hope he stays. If we are indeed looking at playing a 3 in midfield next season (433 in all probability) it’d suit him down to the ground. Being able to pick three from him, Youri, Maddison, KDH, Wilf, Soumare & Mendy should make our manager very happy. Works for me. I’m sure he’d get plenty more starts too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jruizc_ Posted 26 June 2021 Share Posted 26 June 2021 The problem that has Praet is that Perez has a clause that says that he has to play a certain amount of games 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately you couldn't get rid of Perez in a two for one offer at Aldi. Can you even think of him scoring or assisting for any of the newly promoted sides for example if he can't even manage it for us? No place to hide there. We'll be lumbered with him because of his wages until his contract ends unfortunately I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some LCFC fans and Rodgers may see Praet as squad depth, but he doesn't (and neither does most of the footballing world). If we keep him around and bury him (which BR would) again, it's going to lead to a big distraction within the squad. Selling him on to a team that knows how good he is would be the best thing for everybody. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baldeagle Posted 27 June 2021 Share Posted 27 June 2021 (edited) Personally I think Praet is a very good footballer . But IMO he either doesn’t suit how we want to play or he doesn’t suit Premiership football . I haven’t seen enough of him to decide which . If we have to move him on to get other targets in then so be it . In the grand scheme of things If he stays or goes I don’t think it will effect us massively.

Deeg67 Posted 27 June 2021 Share Posted 27 June 2021 Assuming you still want Tielemans and Castagne as part of the squad, do you really want Praet as an unhappy player who wants out? I'm sure those sorts of conversations happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure those sorts of conversations happen. If we look to be a regular top 4-6 team, I.e. with European involvement every season, then the corollary is that we must have a deep quality squad. The way to cope with this is to rotate more than we do at the moment, and use substitutes more shrewdly, so that the whole squad feel that if they train and perform well then they will get a reasonable amount of game time. The other big teams have been managing this problem for some years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
