Thomas is under 21 though so he doesn't count. We have enough FA association players (×8) regardless. We could re-sign Liam Moore as a back up CB.
lgfualol Posted 30 August 2021 Posted 30 August 2021 Good luck to him. Not sure he got enough chances here, the injury during his best spell of games for us was a real killer for his future at the club.

matty98 Posted 30 August 2021 Posted 30 August 2021 He played around 1800 minutes of premier league football for us which is around 20 games worth and didn't stand out. If that isn't enough opportunity then I don't know what is Rodgers would have seen him in training every day. The fact is he's just not good enough to be a regular starter for us. Wish him well for the future but don't think we'll have any regrets with him leaving. 2
HighPeakFox Posted 30 August 2021 Posted 30 August 2021 Maybe he's good but doesn't fit in the structure that's in place. Nobody has to be at fault here, other than perhaps the initial recruitment... 1
mazarron fox Posted 30 August 2021 Posted 30 August 2021 Good premier league player for a mid or lower table team IMO but not top 6 if that’s where we want to be 1

Marshall Cockney Fox Posted 30 August 2021 Posted 30 August 2021 I've always thought of him as a tidy competent midfielder. But not one who ever stands out. Perhaps he doesn't really excel in any one aspect of midfield play i.e. defence, passing, dribbling etc. He's just a solid all rounder. But that just didn't cut the mustard here or earn him a regular spot. 1

This is spot on , we see the player for 90 mins or sub roles then we judge as armchair fans what’s best for the team. The manager and coaches work with them day in day out and know their value so much better than we do. I for one will accept that judgement 1

tsintskaro Posted 30 August 2021 Posted 30 August 2021 He had time to show his qualities and did nothing except that genius pass and a lovely goal. 20Mil wasted on this guy, hopefully Torino will buy him in the end 1 1

Considering that almost every post you make on here (except for your sh1t jokes) is a negative one, you'd probably have said the opposite if Maddison had gone instead. I quite like Praet myself but he is not getting any game time under Rodgers. I believe KDH is a more than adequate alternative to Praet, so it makes sense to offload him if we can sign a decent player in another position that will play. Edited 30 August 2021 by Blue Fox 72 1
urban fox Posted 30 August 2021 Posted 30 August 2021 Assuming a loan fee and they exercise the option either in January or next summer i think we have pretty much recouped our outlay (we reportedly paid around €18M for him) and he gets regular gametime so no real losers here. Still think he is quality, and just the type of squad depth we need, but if KDH proves to be the player we all hope he is then Denis's opportunities here will only diminish further. Hope he does well
Will1981 Posted 30 August 2021 Posted 30 August 2021 Never really rated him he seemed like a BTEC Andy King but without the goals, he had a few good games for us on the right wing but whenever he got the chance to play CM he just went missing, can not fault his attitude though just was not good enough for us. I think a lot of people overrate him because he has a few caps for a very good Belgium team who currently have a golden generation of about a dozen very good players but after that a very small depth of talent hence why players like Praet and Chadli get a few substitute caps here and there. No hard feelings for him though and hope he is successful at Torino. 1

Rodgers sees Praet in training everyday, know his fitness levels, any issues he may or may not have currently in his life and has made a judgement that he currently won’t improve the side. So why should I cry that a player who is doing nothing for the team currently leaves? Would you cry if Benkovic left? 1 1
HighPeakFox Posted 30 August 2021 Posted 30 August 2021 Thankfully I trust BR not to have been petty over this. 1 2
st albans fox Posted 30 August 2021 Posted 30 August 2021 Schira says the loan fee is €1m that’s pretty low so you would assume they’ve agreed to cover nearly all his wages. That suits us re PL ffp wage inflation.

sphericalfox Posted 30 August 2021 Posted 30 August 2021 Some of his passing was sublime. Unfortunately our tactics have shifted and we no longer need him. That shouldn't be an indictment on his abilities. I hope he goes on to a successful career in a team that suits him. 2

He's a good player but if he's not going to feature best to move him on. Good luck to him. I would have put him on the right, seem to do well there. 1
