Oaks Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 All that's on Twitter is people talking about Richard's suggestive post on here. One guy said Richard has confirmed it and people ran with that. Nothing to see.Amazing. My fault, bad choice of words, sometimes you forget a couple of retweets and all hell can break loose on Twitter. Lesson learned.

VillaChris Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 I certainly trust Richard. Sure we have interest. Surely someone should just tweet the Belgian journo on twitter aswell and ask him if we're interested in Praet, he seems like a direct hotline to the Belgium players.

VillaChris Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 (edited) I wouldn't just dismiss him as that, I'm sure the Belgiums living in England are more likely to trust one of their own than a random english one. Has Tim finished his Croissants with Papa Praet yet? Edited July 19, 2015 by VillaChris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrackpotForeigner Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 the Belgiums? I applied a little ointment and they've cleared up nicely, thanks for asking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicon Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 If we want him, we need to get him signed up before Anderlecht lose Mitrovic and Mbemba to Newcastle - I guess that would drive his price up somewhat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really wish we were in for those 2 as well as Praet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guyavfc Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Anderlecht are about to sell a defender for around £7m and Mitrovic for around £13m. I can't see them selling Praet as well unless for silly money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BG_Villa_Fan Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Mitrovic at 13 mil has so much more potential than Austin for a similar price tag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

omariqy Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 I'm surprised other bigger clubs aren't in for Praet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villaglint Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Dave Kitson reckons his mate who is a Spurs scout told him that Praet has been deemed too slow for the PL by the top clubs. He doesnt look especially slow t me but I can guess when you look at the players the top teams have in these advanced roles (likes of Hazard, Willam, Depay, De Maria, Sanchez, Walcott etc) they are all incredibly quick so I guess he doesnt fit into that bracket. No idea whether that is true but its possibly a reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea whether that is true but its possibly a reason. I think that's too simplistic a statement to make. Not every player has to have pace, there's room for all types. Barry was not blessed with Bolt type speed and he did alright for himself. Praet is a talent and I hope he signs for us, I'm still optimistic he will be signing for us and hope its another guess I prove lucky with ;-) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Folski Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Silva ain't exactly Speedy Gonzales either. So what's the latest on this? Delphino said it's gone a bit quiet, Richard is still hopefully that's what we're going off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
