Mehrez Posted 26 April 2019 Share Posted 26 April 2019 The biggest positive in that article is that he loves it here, hopefully he is of the mindset of why go anywhere else when he’s already happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The story is L'Equipe's - might be a pinch of salt job! They're surely open to the idea of him joining anybody for the right price, mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're not going to just give him away. There's also the possibility of bigger clubs matching our bid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oxford blue Posted 26 April 2019 Share Posted 26 April 2019 Silva's performances may also affect the outcome of where Tielemans plays next season Hopefully, he continues to play well (although it appears his performance may have dropped slightly in last 2 or 3 weeks). If Monaco want him long term, then a part-exchange suits everyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Posted 27 April 2019 Share Posted 27 April 2019 Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers is prepared to break the Foxes' transfer record with a £40m bid to secure 21-year-old Belgium midfielder Youri Tielemans on a permanent deal from Monaco.

Tanya Posted 27 April 2019 Share Posted 27 April 2019 It'll be annoying if we can't get the price down for a swap with Silva, but at least we are breaking the bank for a player we know will improve us. Obscene fee but unlike our current most expensive signing, Youri is worthy of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farrington fox Posted 27 April 2019 Share Posted 27 April 2019 I am confident we’ll get the lad. If not then I trust BR to find someone of the same ilk. That’s whats needed,it’s obvious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given his age, his international profile and his seamless arrival in the prem, I expect he is worth north of fifty mill. 40m would likely have Adrian’s valuation on top.

La-li-lu-le-lo Posted 27 April 2019 Share Posted 27 April 2019 Bonus is he’s playing with a group of lads his age, he’s playing every week and he’s back in the Belgium team. I think he’s happily come here, and Monaco don’t think a great deal of his so ball is firmly in our court. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayfox26 Posted 27 April 2019 Share Posted 27 April 2019 So strange that Monaco don't want a 21 year old who is clearly going to be a top player but want a 30 year old who is way past his best. Im guessing they must need to money to invest in other areas of their squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not even remotely strange, it`s a personality thing, Jardim hates YT, YT hates Jardim :-) had Henry not gone YT wouldn`t have gone either he was captain and first name on the team sheet.

From what I've read about Monaco's troubles this season, a big problem they've had is that the squad lack experience and their young players have struggled. I guess that's why they brought in both Fabregas and Silva and allowed Youri to leave in Jan. To be fair to Silva, he's had a mare in his time with us but I still think he's a very tidy footballer, he's just ill-suited to the relentlessness of English football. I've seen a fair bit of Ligue 1 football and it's nowhere near as physically demanding. Adrien can probably play his natural game at Monaco and no doubt looks more like the quality international we thought we were getting. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whoareyaaa Posted 28 April 2019 Share Posted 28 April 2019 Honestly think we will sign him, if you think about it from an agent's point of view then they could get two big transfers instead of going straight to a top 6 club. Plus he loves it here, he's ours I recon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest SO1 Posted 28 April 2019 Share Posted 28 April 2019 Have a feeling this is going to go late in the window. Best for us to see what the market will be before we start chucking millions. To our benefit he won't need settling in time that new signings often require. Sure that Brendan will give him a fitness program to keep him fit until he's signed.

Get it done early, get it done quick. If we wait in the market there's also more chances that the likes of United panic bid for him after realising that they're no longer an attractive club and can't get Rakitic or whoever.

You can always pull the trigger early if you want. If he wants to come here he will no matter what Monaco does or they can keep him, piss him and his agent off even more. If he wants to go to United and possibly get buried in their squad good luck to him. He's not an indentured servant. I'm sure he'll come here for a reasonable amount of money and a nice resale fee as well notwithstanding Silva. Youri has the best opportunity here to build his career and then in 2 or 3 years he can go to PSG for 100+ mil and everybody will be happy ever after. I want that 15mil for wages or another player. Confident we're loaded for Bear no matter what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
