That's even setting aside the numbers crunch we're facing with the squad at the moment. Less than £10m is an insult though for a player of his ability, its a tricky one.

He'll be on noticeably more than Hamza and Mendy. With Sowah gone, I'd expect that selling Praet and loaning Hamza is enough to buy a winger for 15 odd on moderate wages.

dannythefox Posted 29 August 2021 Share Posted 29 August 2021 I think he’s a great player to be fair but he’s just isn’t getting a look in. Get rid and get the winger in who’s actually going to play games, we’re desperate in that area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think the offers will get better after holding onto him for a season where he never plays outside the first couple Caribou Cup matches?

Goober Posted 29 August 2021 Share Posted 29 August 2021 He's good, but we don't need him. KDH is the boy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not about wages, is about registering all the main players for Europa League , or players will have to sit out, which is not good for the players that do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a juggling act of different priorities ultimately. For me, Praet is the one player we absolutely wouldn't want to pay to sit on the sidelines because he's an asset that's definitely good enough to be in the squad, he's worth a fair bit but we'd also want to register him if he's still here. Where as we can probably take or leave registering Mendy or Hamza. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzy_Jeff Posted 29 August 2021 Share Posted 29 August 2021 Will be sad to see him go as he’s a decent player however he holds the highest value of our fringe players so needs must. Will be worth it if a quality RW comes in. I wish him well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TommyK Posted 29 August 2021 Share Posted 29 August 2021 Why are there a load of posts about Preat replacing Madison? He's not once played in Madison position while he's been here. His creative stats are shocking. He's a good player, but does not have a place in our team. Sell. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post weller54 Posted 29 August 2021 Popular Post Share Posted 29 August 2021 Hasn't been given a chance to really show what he can offer!!.... Rodgers just sticks to his out of form favourites. I'm quite sure Praet will be very pleased to leave... he's been treated poorly. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pliskin Posted 29 August 2021 Share Posted 29 August 2021 May as well cash in, we’re not short on midfielders and he’s probably generate cash and space for a forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aside about 3/4 years ago, they are Italian relegation fodder. Edited 29 August 2021 by sphericalfox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before joining us he'd spent 3 years at Sampdoria finishing 10th, 10th and 9th and won two caps for Belgium. This is his level, all this being hard done by is getting silly now, he's never been good enough whenever he's started for us the game has passed him by and more often than not had to be subbed off. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's had all summer to get a move and this has been the only link. he has choices of staying here and wasting another season or move back to Serie A. He came from Sampdoria and is now wanted by a similar level team. Best for all concerned this happens, we'll take our loss but cest la vie.

Torino is a step down from Sampdoria, and a fairly lengthy step down from ourselves. If that is truely the only team in for him, then I guess it's up to him if we accept a bid. If I were his agent I'd be working over-time to find something better tbf 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
