No lack of ambition here (if true)

Latest Newcastle, Southhampton, Everton and Athletico Madrid now also showing an interest, but we are the only ones with an offer apart from Seville who have bid 6 million euro and been laughed at.
Belgian press reporting the original price was 11 million euro, though that has been increased to 15 million with the interest, Belgian press are also saying 11 million will probably be accepted.
So excited, I could crush a grape
Oh please let it be true. What a signing Praet (pronounced as Prat) would be. He will be well worth the £11 million.
We could play him in the hole behind Lambert or Berahino or as a free roam left winger (a left winger with the freedom to move into a central position and create things. How James Rodriguez played for Colombia at last year's World Cup is a good example of this) so we would have options on how to use him. Last season he played mainly in the hole in a 4-2-3-1 system with 2 fast, direct wingers and 1 tall striker but he was used at times on the left side of midfield in a normal 4-4-2.
