urban fox Posted 21 June 2019 Share Posted 21 June 2019 According to The independent United make £36m Tielemans offer (18th June) Manchester United have reportedly made a £36m offer for Monaco midfielder Youri Tielemans. Completely unfounded of course but it plays right into our hands surely If that's the best they can do. £25m plus Silva = deals done 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Maybe to Monaco to be honest) We reportedly paid £22m. just because he didn't fit into our system/league doesn't make him a bad player. OK so he is a couple of years older but by all accounts he has been turning it on for Monaco and is well liked there. £15+M is not an unreasonable price and their initial valuation of YT was around the £40m. Many on here seem so desperate to get rid of Silva that they are happy to let him go at any price as long as we get YT. I actually think he may well be the key to the whole thing and Monaco, whilst possibly holding out to see if a higher bid comes in may find that they are cutting their own nose to spite their face if they do try to sell elsewhere cos we will simply raise the price for Silva if they don't play ball (that is of course assuming Silva wants to go there and YT does not opt to go elsewhere himself) Edited 21 June 2019 by urban fox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jayfox26 Posted 21 June 2019 Share Posted 21 June 2019 Im sure United are just spouting shit to the press to try and make it look like they are signing top players when realistically they are probably doing **** all until they can offload some of the crap in their squad and bring the wage bill down. They may be the richest club in the world but the loss of champions league money will hurt them. Really cant see them spending massive unless they can get rid of Pogba.

Panic, Panic He isn't, but he is tried and tested in our team. We have seen that he is the key to getting the best out of Vardy, Wilf and Maddison. He has the perfect chemistry with the team and since he came in, only Liverpool and Man City got more points than us. Tielemans is one the most highly rated young midfielders in Europe and really should be at a bigger club than Leicester, but somehow we're in with a chance. That's why this is such a crucial signing. Other midfielders are available of course, but who's to say they won't flop like Silva, Iborra and Inler. You can roll the dice if you want but we won't get anyone better. Who did you have in mind?

Grebfromgrebland Posted 21 June 2019 Share Posted 21 June 2019 Iborra was ok but we'll never attract a top player like this normally. This is probably the first time ever we've been in this position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tielemans is a once in a <insert long period of time here> opportunity to get a young and gifted player who has potential to become even better…. He slots into our team like a key into a nicely greased lock…! If we only got him this summer I’d be over the moon! I must check this thread 3 times a day!
