Good luck finding a team willing to pay 60 m for a player in last year of his contract .He is very good on a decent team but I think he would be excellent playing for a top team. Apparently Leicester have tried to extend his contract but it doesn't look like it will happen so I expect him to leave this Summer with one year remaining on his contract. I don't expect Leicester to fire sale him though, they paid 40 for him & would probably sell for 60.
Depends how many are interested I suppose. It's unlikely but if you had 3 or 4 interested parties in the summer it would drive the profr up somewhat.Good luck finding a team willing to pay 60 m for a player in last year of his contract .
You should count your blessings if you are even able to recoup 40 m most probably it would be something like 25- 30 m .
25-30 would be about par I think, Leicester will have to accept because the other option is he just walks for free next year.Good luck finding a team willing to pay 60 m for a player in last year of his contract .

You’d probably have to pay more then that in January, personally I’d take a straight swap for van der BeekI wonder if he would be available in January? Unlikely but 35 million or so to get in before the rest in the summer. Would have 18 months left on contract.
That would actually be a fair deal for everybody involved.You’d probably have to pay more then that in January, personally I’d take a straight swap for van der Beek
Fred TielemansMidfield combo of Tielemans and Fred. All action stuff.
I think VDB would be more of a Maddison replacement than for Tielemans. But if the clubs were keen for the VBD for Tielemans trade, that would be a good outcome for all parties.You’d probably have to pay more then that in January, personally I’d take a straight swap for van der Beek
No he isn't. More 5'9/5'10.Romano says we're in for him when Pogba leaves. Perfect replacement for me, the only issue is height (he's 5ft 7) but he makes up for a lot with his ability.
Why? they'd work well together.He's still not the type of midfielder we need to complement Fred. Ndidi would actually make more sense in terms of squad engineering.
You just read my mind: that was actually my point: we needed a more defensive midfielder in order to use both Fred and Tielemans. We would had to eventually sacrifice Bruno Fernandes / Pogba, ubless we played a 4 man narrow midfieldWhy? they'd work well together.
Especially if we play a CDM like Kamara behind them.
Have we got our priorities right if we're thinking about what works for Fred?He's still not the type of midfielder we need to complement Fred. Ndidi would actually make more sense in terms of squad engineering.
Disagree completely. We are seriously lacking ball players in our midfield. Our two main midfuelders are purely runners with no control.He's still not the type of midfielder we need to complement Fred. Ndidi would actually make more sense in terms of squad engineering.
That midfield would when zero passing ability of creativity, basically just what we have now.He's still not the type of midfielder we need to complement Fred. Ndidi would actually make more sense in terms of squad engineering.

Listen, I'm not against Tielemans hiring, I actually rate him highly as a midfielder. But if we don't have a solid energetic defender midfielder to allow players like him to expand, we would have the same problems in the midfield, but a bit more creative though.That midfield would when zero passing ability of creativity, basically just what we have now.
Is that what Romano really said?Romano says we're in for him when Pogba leaves. Perfect replacement for me, the only issue is height (he's 5ft 7) but he makes up for a lot with his ability.
Into last year of his Contract in Summer nobody is paying £60m would be something like 25-30 m .Tielemans would cost... what, £60m at least? I'm a big fan but I fear we'll need to sign a few less established players as we have to reinforce in several positions this summer.
Ah good point. Think it may still be more than that but you're right, probably nowhere near 60.Into last year of his Contract in Summer nobody is paying £60m would be something like 25-30 m .
His breakfast flat cakes?Does Tielemans press?
It's crazy, Fabinho was desperate to come to us, how did we allow him to go to Liverpool? What happened?Tielemans on his own doesn't make sense. We need a Fabinho/Rodri type as a priority. Then we can go for a Tielemans type if we want, as an alternative to Fred/Bruno.
We dicked around and went for other midfield targets like Paul Pogba and then Nemanja MaticIt's crazy, Fabinho was desperate to come to us, how did we allow him to go to Liverpool? What happened?
I think we should certainly be in for him I believe he is somebody who has all the attributes to become great play making no 8 in a top team and he won't cost a fortune either .Ah good point. Think it may still be more than that but you're right, probably nowhere near 60.
Fabinho was playing primarily as RB when we bought Pogba he wasn't even a regular CM so no wonder he wasn't even a target at that time but we certainly prioritised Matic over him .We dicked around and went for other midfield targets like Paul Pogba and then Nemanja Matic
So he's a juicer?His Orange Juice?
Think so
He is a modern box to box midfielder, but with more technical skills than Fred.Is tielemans an advanced playmaker or a deep lying playmaker?
Is he better playing as a CM/CAM or is he better playing as a CM/CDM?
Whenever I do watch him , he doesn't really look like that deeper sitting player that can help us pull strings.
However I'm not sure if he could do that as he ages and gets more experienced.
If I remember correctly, he was playing both CDM and RB but we needed him for CDM.Fabinho was playing primarily as RB when we bought Pogba he wasn't even a regular CM so no wonder he wasn't even a target at that time but we certainly prioritised Matic over him .
