Youri Tielemans | signs for Villa

[Bebestation]

I genuinely believe he is only rated by some for being Belgian. I think people view him as the next Belgian thing.

 

[Mwooyo]

Get ruben neves over this guy. Ruben is just better and covers more positions than Tielemanns. Both will be available in the summer

 

[croadyman]

Any chance we could do cheap deal for him AND Sabitzer on loan. Yeah I don't know where money is coming from either

 

[Walters_19_MuFc]

Think we'll get him in the summer if we can't get De Jong. He'll be free too, so not much of a risk and although he's not been great for Leicester this season, he's EPL proven and could really take himself to the next level with better players around him, no disrespect to Leicester.

I remember people saying at one point how he, Maddison and Ndidi were arguably the best midfield trio in the EPL, and when they were on it, they were a joy to watch.

Him and Eriksen rotating in that roaming playmaker position.

I really like him and was massively surprised he wasn’t picked up last summer when Leicester were screaming for money. I’m not sure he can dictate a game like Eriksen but he’s a rare player in that he has that quality range of passing that Eriksen does, and probably a better shot

 

[Nero]

The myth of Youri Tielemans. He's bang average.

 

[Jimmy Skitz]

he'll be found out when he leaves us, I've become convinced of that, in our first choice midfield 3 I wouldn't even start him, I'd have Ndidi, Dewsbury-Hall and Maddison

 

[Nou_Camp99]

he'll be found out when he leaves us, I've become convinced of that, in our first choice midfield 3 I wouldn't even start him, I'd have Ndidi, Dewsbury-Hall and Maddison

2 years ago he looked a world beater though in that same midfield. Maybe it's a mentality issue.

 

[mu4c_20le]

Barely looks like a footballer these days. Wouldn't touch him with a ten foot pole,

 

[Raoul]

No longer interested in him.

 

[Jimmy Skitz]

he had an agent filling his head with talk of moves to places like Barca, should have sold then when he first turned down a contract offer

 

[Sarni]

2 years ago he looked a world beater though in that same midfield. Maybe it's a mentality issue.

He was scoring screamers quite frequently but he never seemed particularly good at being a midfielder. Not as bad as he is now but I don’t think he was ever at the level sufficient to get him a move to a top team and cement his place in a starting XI there.

 

[JJ12]

I don’t understand the love for him on here. Bang average.

 

[JPRouve]

He has been found out a long time ago, keep in mind that Monaco wanted rid of him.

 

[vodrake]

Technically sound but otherwise mentality and physically wise a pretty limited player who gets overhyped for banging in a 30 yard screamer on MOTD once or twice a season.

 

[Ludens the Red]

He’s a good player and would be a really good option here. The problem with him is his attitude is quite bad. I think he’s massively downed tools at Leicester since scoring that cup final goal.

He seems like one of these players who goes through the motions a lot…
He’s definitely not the shite level he’s showing now. I’d take him on a free and see if ten haag could light a fire in his belly as he did with rashford who last season basically looked like he couldn’t be fecked to even walk onto the pitch.

 

[AshRK]

I rather keep Sabitzer

 

[Maluco]

Good player, but his dip in form and performances has been alarming. He was shooting for a nice signing on fee from Arsenal/United 18 months ago, but I now think he is looking more at the Aston Villas and Evertons for a free transfer move. Possibly a AC Milan or Roma if he fancies it.

 

[Von Mistelroum]

Would much prefer to keep Sabitzer.

 

[Jimmy Skitz]

He has been found out a long time ago, keep in mind that Monaco wanted rid of him.

true but he also rebuilt his reputation some what in his first 2 years here

 

[Robbie Boy]

I rather keep Sabitzer

Easily.

 

[MadMike]

Running down your contract while playing shit is a bit of a risky strategy. He didn’t have enough stock going into this season for top teams to still consider him, after this level of performances. I see him being picked up by an Italian club, since those seem more keen to take a risk in search of bargains.

You say he'd be a "really good option" but absolutely everything you say runs counter to that idea.

I think you're right in your analysis and should have stuck with that, his attitude sucks. If you are not the right character at Leicester where there is bugger all expectation except to train, play well and achieve a respectable league position, how is he going to come into an environment where the demand is ultra professionalism, high standards and to win? That's the new demand anyway, under this manager.

He's not good enough to compensate for his flaws and even if he was I don't see a first teamer, at which point..why even bother with the hassle of getting him up to standard. Get someone that shows the right stuff to begin with.

 

[hobbers]

Wouldnt get a kick under the Hag. Even on a free would just be pissing money away.

 

[Gerald G]

Absolutely not. He's not good and would be a waste of wages and a squad place.

I see what you’re saying but the point being is that he’s in this place ‘at the moment’… He has shown before that he can be a player that can be relied upon.
Marcus Rashford was bordering on unprofessional last season. Tielemans is the same age.. You can’t underestimate what a top manager can do with a player who’s lost their way.

It’s also relevant to mention that this would be a free punt. I wouldn’t lobby for it if we were paying 50/60 million.

 

[Bebestation]

People just rate him because he is Belgian and think he is the next generation of De Bruyne & Hazard.

People talk about how English players are overrated and overpriced all the time - but players all across the world are overrated constantly.

The whole team was shit last year including the manager.

Rashford has had quality seasons before and that’s why some fans stayed quiet whilst others were raging at arguably our best player having quiet games.

Tielemans hasn’t had a full out good season IMO - just some performances.

 

[golden_blunder]

Is he Leicesters ‘lingard’? Purple patches occasionally making him look better

Haha, that’s a bit generous. He was really really bad and completely lost focus. I’m delighted he’s now at the level he’s at but let’s call a spade a spade.
Also Tielemans was very good through the whole covid season 20/21. Sure our resident Leicester fans would back that up.

 

[Telsim]

I'd take him for free, why not?

 

[Red Royal]

I'd take him for free, why not?

because he would take up a squad place, be injured often, lack the intensity needed and block the path to a youngster who could do his job.

 

[bringbackbebe]

and to think in Rangnick days, we thought he was the solution...

 

[Telsim]

Nah, surely we will free a lot of space this summer? There's a lot of deadwood that needs moving on, and he'd be good back up. I'm not suggesting we bring him as a regular.

 

[Jimmy Skitz]

Is he Leicesters ‘lingard’? Purple patches occasionally making him look better

no for 2 years or so he was probably our best player

 

[bond19821982]

I'd take him for free, why not?

No way. Our standards has gone up, fortunately.

 

[Remember the geese]

I'd take him for free, why not?

Because we need better.

 

[Strootman's Finger]

I look forward to the day someone finally signs this guy, then I can stop living in fear that it's going to be us.

 

[golden_blunder]

What’s happened to him?

 

[Jimmy Skitz]

What’s happened to him?

he wants to leave, its that simple
