Youri Tielemans | Signed | #18

Welcome! We expect prime Andrea Pirlo level performances from you, so .. no pressure.
 
Isn't he very fragile and injury prone? Know hes good player but will be frustrating if we dont get to see that and hes in the treatment room more than on the pitch

Hopefully we can manage him properly as I really dont want another Mount
 
36 hours from linked to filming his announcement video. Can't argue with that

:lol: :lol: :lol: well said! Amen!

P.S. Both Santos and Tielemans have the right fighter attitude in them and plenty of ability. Wishing them both health and fitness so they can be the best versions of themselves for United's growing success

That’s the spirit!
 
Think he’ll be great for us.

Now for an athlete..
 
Good signing. Will help us a lot. Just hope we manage his minutes and he can stay fit.
 
This was so quick by our standards!
 
Honestly I think he will play longer than many think, I do wish we could have got him in 2023 though
If you aren't a physical player anyway, you can keep going well into your thirties.
Spending 35 mill on him, doubt they would want to sign him just to a 2 year contract.

Also, if my understanding on PSR is correct, giving him a 5 year contract spreads out that 35 mill pretty thin giving more room for other spending.
I hope you guys are right. :+1:

30 next May is soon? Well feck me, Cunha will be 29 in May the following year, let’s just throw him on the scrap heap now too.
That wasn't really my point. Handing out long contracts to players closing in on 30 isn't a smart move imo.
 
How long did that take to get the signing done for Tielemans, 24 hours?
 
Happy with the signing.

He reminds me a lot of when Erickson was playing in midfield for us before that asshole Andy Carol injured him, but more athletic and better at defending than Erickson
 
Might be the fastest transfer we've ever had from rumour to done?

Helps that we skipped the rumour stage pretty much altogether.
 
I'm very happy with this one, quality experienced Premier League player signed for next to nothing in today's crazy central midfield market. Can't wait to see what he can bring to the team.
