Lucky lucky Arsenal - silverbaggie - 22-10-2014
Two goals in the last 3 minutes to save Arsene's face.
Message for Josh:- Do you rate Anderlecht's No 10 Dennis Praet?
Seemed a bit of a live wire to me. Made the cross for Anderlecht's goal.
Could we get him, do we need him?

What was going to happen to Arsene's face if they lost? Is Piers Morgan threatening some kind of evil face-swapping transplant like in that John Travolta/Nicolas Cage film?

Just an expression Ska'd although, Arsene's face got gloomier and gloomier as the match progressed.
Personally I wouldn't swap anything with Piers Morgan; just keep him the other side of the pond!!

First off I didn't watch the arsenal game so I don't know how the commentator was pronouncing his name but the correct pronunciation is Prat which is a bit unfortunate for him if he ever moves to England.
As for my opinion, I do rate him very highly. He is the star of Anderlecht and has followed Lukaku's footsteps by jumping onto the radar of some top clubs. That means that we probably wouldn't be able to sign him. However, even though he would be a big signing for us, I doubt we really need him because we have Sessegnon and Blanco for the attacking midfield position. Praet can also play on the left wing but again we already have plenty of players for that position.
How well did Praet play last night based on what you saw?

Only saw the second half but, he seemed to weave his way in out of defenders as if the ball was tied to his bootlace.
And he crossed the ball from the right hand corner when being challenged and forced wide which led to the headed goal for Anderlecht.
Don't see that the name would be that much of a problem; wasn't there a John Pratt who played for Spurs many years ago?
