Also, being a billionaire owned English club telling a broke mid table Serie A club to stop being tight for not being able to afford a ten million pound footballer who earns north of 50k a week is more entitled and out of touch than Rishi Sunak. 1 1

If they can't afford him they'll have to look elsewhere. We're not a charity. He's a decent player but if nobody wants him keep him and play him. 3

True, but if you've only got a Ford Focus budget, why are you in the Ferrari showroom? DISCLAIMER: I am not suggesting that Dennis Praet is a Ferrari-class footballer. 4 1
moore_94 Posted 19 July 2023 Author Posted 19 July 2023 https://sportwitness.co.uk/leicester-player-offered-club-second-time-maresca-doesnt-want-king-power-stadium/ Even though Leicester City midfielder Dennis Praet is frequently linked to a move to Italy, it now seems Turkey could be a destination for the 29-year-old as well. A report from Ajansspor today claims that the player was, ‘for the second time’, offered to Trabzonspor. It’s not made clear when the first suggestion arrived, but it’s assured that agents have repeatedly tried to move the Leicester City player to the Turkish side. For now, there’s no decision from Trabzonspor on whether to sign Praet. The first reason why they’re not that excited about that possibility is that the midfield is not a priority for them in this transfer window. Plus when receiving the suggestion, manager Nenad Bjelica promised to analyse the signing, and claimed he ‘wants to think about it’. No response from his was given so far. According to Ajansspor, Leicester City and Enzo Maresca do not consider having Praet in their squad next season, and now work on his departure from the club. With Italian clubs struggling to match the Foxes’ requests, perhaps the solution could come from the Turkish market. 3

Popular Post Lambert09 Posted 29 July 2023 Popular Post Posted 29 July 2023 Torino really are the biggest tw@s in football! Just like they did with Praet they negotiated an option at £13m, get in the players head but then tried offering only £9m. I hope west ham tell them to jog on and that we never answer the phone to them again. 7

This level ought to be easy for him. 6

This level ought to be easy for him. I agree, I've always liked the bloke. Maybe he could be the creative part we need if we can't get anyone in. Just worry he's a bit light weight for the league. But in terms of talent, I think he can pick a pass and open up championship defences. But I would like a new young player in that position. Shame we can't get Alex Scott, he would have been the ideal Madders replacement. Ah well, relegation sucks! Edited 29 July 2023 by fox_favourite
Popular Post MGLCFC Posted 29 July 2023 Popular Post Posted 29 July 2023 Play him in his best position for a run of games. I'll judge him them, because here is another player totally under or misused and made a scapegoat by Rodgers. 5 1

I'd love us to go for Williot Swedberg from Celta, who will struggle under Benitez or the dream is Sebastian Nanasi from Malmo. 1

The reason we may struggle will be poor preparation, motivation and the squad being completely unbalanced. 2
