psychonaut Posted 30 January 2019 Posted 30 January 2019 Surely if he comes here he’s got to start the majority of games. So that means dropping either Mendy or Ndidi or going 4-3-3 in which case one of the forwards will find themselves further down the pecking order, the likelihood it being Barnes. Personally I’d drop one if the current pairing, probably Mendy, and rotate Ndidi with Hamza. Going with Barnes, Maddison and Albrighton as the forward 3.

I'd imagine against the better teams we'll go 433 with him in an advanced midfield position, in front of Ndidi and Mendy. Against the weaker teams that sit deep he'll replace Mendy (probably) in a 4231.

Our biggest goal threat by far.

You said Tielemans needs to start the majority of games which means we’d need to switch to a 433 (according to you). Which leaves Vardy out as you want to play Barnes, Maddison and Albrighton. Which has nothing to do with giving Vardy a rest. Okay mate

Don't bite his head off.

Thats exactly the scenario I imagine playing out, though it’s quite possible it could be Mendy giving way in the 433 rather than Choudhury.

But he’s in the side on reputation and necessity, not form, because theres no decent alternative. But he’s not the player he was, and could become the next Wes.

Beechey Posted 31 January 2019 Posted 31 January 2019 https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/47068267 Youri Tielemans: Leicester close to loan signing of Monaco midfielder Leicester are closing in on the loan signing of Monaco midfielder Youri Tielemans. Tielemans, 21, flew into the Midlands on Wednesday to complete his medical, with Portuguese midfielder Adrien Silva, 29, going the other way. The joint deal is yet to be completed but no major obstacles are anticipated. Highly rated Belgium international Tielemans, 21, joined Monaco from Anderlecht in 2017 and has 14 caps for his country. Silva has failed to make much of an impact at the King Power Stadium since arriving from Sporting Lisbon for £22m in 2017. He was forced to wait six months to make his debut after the paperwork arrived with Fifa 14 seconds late and has never really recovered his form, making just three Premier League appearances this season. The Portugal international is highly rated by new Monaco coach Leonardo Jardim.
volpeazzurro Posted 31 January 2019 Posted 31 January 2019 With no option to buy clause, I really can't see the point of this contrary to popular opinion on here. If as stated, he was to play most of the games he would be taking the place of and game time experience from someone else we could be integrating into the squad or trying to evaluate like Barnes etc. If he's successful, he will merely, it appears, return to Monaco with an inflated buying price and make no mistake, if he was offered a deal at any London club or Manchester, where do you think he'd choose? For the odd extra win and a couple of places higher in the league table this season it holds no attraction for me, it's about getting our young players firmly bedded for next year or the release of any of them if felt that they're not going to be up to standard. Apparently his and Silvas wages are not disimilar so little point there financially, though Monaco are gaining an experienced player in a relegation battle. Once Silva has served his purpise there this season are Monaco a club wanting to buy a 30 something Premiership reject? Financially it doesn't appear to make sense, at least if Silva went to some Turkish club for half his wages we'd be getting some kind of recompense. Even if we could get Kane, Martial or Rashford for a couple of months, what would be the longer term point be if we were only going to give them back? Even the vague chance of a place in the knockout stages of a minor European competition at this point in our development could cause more harm than good and wouldn't be an attraction for me. It does perhaps I concede put Silva in some kind of shop window, though in comparison to our buying price he would appear to be no better than bargain basement goods now in purely financial terms.
Realist Guy In The Room Posted 31 January 2019 Posted 31 January 2019 Hey lads, I just saw him in MORRISONS!!! Eh lads?? Eh???

You would think there’s more of a gentlemen’s agreement in place, providing both players settle and get on well a deal would be struck, tielemans is only a young player and may not settle in England , think it could work out better not to put the extra pressure on him

Tielemans is a CM, Barnes has almost exclusively played as a winger, a #10 and striker. If I had to guess, Tielemans will be taking the place of Mendy, Ndidi or Hamza. I seriously hope we have some form of arrangement whereby we will be able to buy him though. However, I don't mind paying more for his wages etc if this is the case. Monaco want more than the 25m Euros they paid for him.

With you on that. If a mature and experienced player(ala Cambiasso) that can show our own players the way for a few months I'd go for it. He's young, relatively inexperienced and as often proves will take time to settle. Bit of a kick in the gonads for our lads, Hamza etc unless some 'backstop' agreement in place!!
