One double footed step!.. Praet was amazed at his durability and fitness levels I bet!

Casadei will play a huge role now

Hopefully a run of games will do him well. He's looked good in the past game or so.

Of course he’s said yes.

 

The National Space Centre, King Richard III centre, Walkers Crisps factory.

 

Does Milan have attractions like that? No it bloody doesn’t. 

Ironically Milan is not the most exciting city - particularly for its size

Yeah Monza don't train on the Indian burial ground that is Seagrave

Don't you find it interesting that our injury problems since Rodgers left haven't been noticeably worse than those of other clubs? Almost as if it wasn't Seagrave's fault at all...

At that price it’s fine with me. Zero risk.

You haven't seen his wages yet.

I also don't think they've improved that much either.

I know but let me fish for some rep points man.

Wilf is always good for a few months out in any season. Vardy has just turned 37. McAteer's injury happened during a game. Our key players have been available most of the time - eg Winks, whose previous injury record was poor, seems to be coping remarkably well with Seagrave. Rodgers' training methods (and he has form for this at other clubs) surely must have been a factor in our injury problems in recent years?

No wonder he’s coming to Leicester then.

 

Give him a life’s supply of Walkers Crisps, Melton Mowbray Pork Pies and a Zizzi’s gift card, he’s sorted.

I'm hoping Enzo has improved things and that it was training methods or burden of the style of play and amount of games under a previous regime than our training ground but we still have ongoing injury issues. Other clubs quote possibly do, I'm biased that I only care about Leicester and feel we're always good for 4-5 injuries at any one time.

“- Leicester's interest confirmed.
- Inter awaits the offer from the English club.
- The player has already given the OK to the transfer.”

[TheGoldenGod]

Gone completely full circle on this tbh. Didn't want him cause of his injury record, than having a read of this thread I thought "nah Enzo will get the best out of him and keep him fit hopefully" and then you look at the Inter fans comments under this post and I'm majorly doubtful again 

[StriderHiryu]

Let's say he wants 60K a week, and we give him a 2.5 year deal:

• 60k * 52 = 3.12M yearly salary before tax
• 3.12M * 2.5 = 7.8M total wages over the duration of the contract.
• Add in a £2M transfer fee, and then 10% (£200K) for a signing-on fee and you've got £2.2M
• Add all that together and it's a £10M deal.

 

 

How much in total did Soumare cost? Dennis Praet? Harry Soutar? If you put it into that perspective, then if he was a total bust that played as much football as Ryan Bertrand, it's still not a total disaster. So overall, you could see why we might gamble on him. It could also be a 3.5 year deal, but on lower wages, etc. With this deal, you just have to accept that you are NOT making that 10M back even if the player smashes it.

 

 

PS: I am waiting to see how bad my maths is as other people check I've done the arithmetic correctly.

I don't think we'd pay him 60 bags a week. I think that's what he's been on at Inter. He's not getting that anywhere in Italy again or another European team bar the PL. 

 

I'd hope it was less up front as a wage and more in bonuses. 

[Long Eaton Fox]

Can we just swap him for Praet

£35k I read at inter somewhere on this thread I think ?

We've also dropped down to a league where we aren't sprinting and pressing every blade of grass intensely. We aren't chasing games as much. 

 

Yes there are more games, but we're in control of the ball 60/70% of the time

35k a week.  I also read it here.  So it must be true...
