Tbf his time at Anderlecht was up and down and many Belgian based fans doubted he could reach the heights many thought he could before he left for Monaco. The thread could be found on this forum somewhere related to his time at Anderlecht. It was deemed he hadn't made progress to the degree expected off him. His career thus far has been mostly all hype with little evidence he could cut it at a big club until his short stint at Leicester.
Come on, mate. If he does anything of note we’d have to view it as a bonus. The club’s interest in him is the only hype surrounding him to date while Tielemans was highly touted from a young age with Anderlecht.
He had a up and down career in the Belgian league. I suggest you read a thread that exists on this forum related to his time at Anderlecht and the views of the Belgian fans.
Tielemans has mostly been hype since he broke through as a 16 year old in Belgium tbf. His star wasn't shining as bright before he left Belgium with many Belgian fans doubting his actual true level.
No, Tielemans joined Monaco in 2017, he was part of a good team and Jardim wasn't quickly sacked and replaced by Henry.
That's good enough to start at United United apparently after being labelled among the biggest flops in the French league by 'France Football magazine'
You are right, sorry. I knew that Tielemans joined them the same summer that they lost Mbappe, Mendy, Bakayoko and Bernardo Silva and I thought that led to their immediate collapse. But I see now it was the following year it all went wrong and Jardim got sacked.
For the next decade.
Also Bakayoko isn't a good player and it's the player that he "replaced". Bakayoko had 6 good months in his career at Monaco. Rony Lopes had a breakout season and was excellent, not as good as Bernardo but still pretty good. Mendy replacements were bad and Mbappé was basically replaced by Jovetic and Baldé Keita. Tielemans was bad by himself and due to his own shortcomings, I wouldn't be against his signing but people need to keep their expectations and the hype in check, Tielemans is a young player with a lot of flaws who has shown a lot of inconsistency.
Shocking given he was what, 17?
Never said it was 'shocking' but I personally wouldn't pay too much attention to how he did in a league that is comparable to League 1 in my country.
I agree with this and woudn't mind seeing both at the club.
This.
Bang on.
And which league is that? Since breaking through, at 16 years old, he has repeatedly spent seasons in the Europa and Champions League.
Thd Belgian top flight is very poor and i'd compare it to being closer to league one in my country England. No disrespect intended.
....and after Monaco.
Tielemans was superb for Leicester, and has played many games at international level too.
Playing games at international doesn't mean anything regards improving United or we'd have Meunier already at the club ahead of the uncapped Wan Bissaka.
Playing all three together would be suicidal IMO.
Of course not all three at the same time. Getting one of them on against tired legs that are slower at closing down could be great.
