frany104 Posted 30 August 2021 Share Posted 30 August 2021 Quite happy to sell and spend the funds elsewhere. Jack if all trades and master of none. Doesn’t improve our 11 and is in good wages so sensible to sell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Earle Posted 30 August 2021 Share Posted 30 August 2021 (edited) IMO a super 8, top half PL standard comfortably, but not so good as a 4,6, 7 or 10, to speak in old money. Alas we rarely played with two 8s, and that’s the only system that we’ve seen bring out the best in him.

Tom12345 Posted 31 August 2021 Share Posted 31 August 2021 7 hours ago, Sampson said: But the best football we played last season was in October/November time when Praet and Tielemans were both playing in a 4-3-3 and both those 2 and Castagne were all linking up really well. He was really starting to fulfill his potential (and bringing the best of Tielemans), then Maddison came back, Praet got injured and never got back in the side. I remember the debates around Christmas last year that Tielemans and Maddison couldn't play together and Tielemans looked so much better alongside Praet. With Maddison's form at the tail end of last season and the start of this season, Praet should've been starting. But for whatever reason, once Maddison came back, Rodger just didn't give him the same run in the side. Fully agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phenom Posted 31 August 2021 Share Posted 31 August 2021 I don’t think we gave Praet a fair shot either but he’s clearly not rated by BR and we need to sell. I wish we could have gotten a decent return. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CosbehFox Posted 31 August 2021 Share Posted 31 August 2021 His best position in midfield is effectively what Tielemans does for us. That’s the dilemma. For the good games, he also had some really poor ones (West Ham away springs to mind) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berniethebolt Posted 31 August 2021 Share Posted 31 August 2021 Shame if/when he goes. Very good player but not dislodging Tielemans and Nididi and Maddison will always be allowed two or three anonymous games to find form because he can be spectacular his day, so always playing second fiddle and fair play to him for not wanting to do that. I was a big fan of his style of play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guppy Assist Posted 31 August 2021 Share Posted 31 August 2021 Always wanted the ball, linked up play, wasn't afraid to run past the forwards to create space or get in crosses. Think he's been injured at the wrong times but also think he hasn't had the minutes he should of. But on the other hand we've had success so difficult to be too critical of selections! Reminds me of Iborra in the fact he hasn't had the game time and maybe we've missed a trick with him, moved on too soon? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jobyfox Posted 31 August 2021 Share Posted 31 August 2021 I always thought of Praet in a similar way to how I previously felt about Matty James. There were those who, in my opinion, vastly overrated their worth. It often felt like they were implying that they were football connoisseurs for being able to see it whereas others were less educated in the football arts. All I see is two pretty competent players who’ll never be any more than ‘competent’. Good squad players, if you can keep them happy, but you’d be worried if they were the best you could do. At the level we’ve been at you need players who offer something a bit more: a spark of creativity, incisive passing, driving runs, destructive tackling and recycling etc. ‘Competent’ doesn’t quite cut it unless they are used solely to plug holes from the bench. It Praet is unhappy being a squad player then he should absolutely be moved on. He’s just not quite at the level to be anything else unless our own level drops - but we shouldn’t be planning for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LCFC hub Posted 31 August 2021 Share Posted 31 August 2021 A little gutted by this tbh. But he was not as good as Youri and not quite a no.10 like Maddison so didn't really fit into our team. Good luck to him though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spudulike Posted 31 August 2021 Share Posted 31 August 2021 Still got a couple of years left on his contract here though, hasn't he? If Torrino don't want him then he'll be back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
