I still believe that a happy, settled, in form Tielemans is Leicester’s most talented player, along with Maddison.
The problem is he clearly needs a move. It’s not that he’s not trying, I don’t think he’s that type of person, it’s that he’s not trying very hard anymore. He looks to be seeing out his time at City without his usual enthusiasm.
He needs to leave both for the club and for the player.
I imagine when he does leave, we’ll see a re-invigorated player for whichever club he joins.
If I were managing Tottenham, for instance, I’d snap up Tielemans. They are crying out for a midfield ball-player and he’d fit the bill there.
My memory of Youri, once he goes, will be of a player who is very talented, a really nice guy and of course, the FA cup goal.
He’ll be hard to replace in terms of the ‘fully interested’ Tielemans. Unfortunately that’s now long gone.
LCFC is a club in major transition I believe. Its hard to know what our squad will look like if we avoid relegation, let alone if we go down.
