What's he on about? He played regularly whilst Schmeichel was injured, but looked awkward whenever he needed to make a save you could tell he was done. Luckily for us Schmeichel came for the run in and the great escape happened

Schwarzer only came in because Hamer was crap. Only ever a temporary solution until Schmeichel returned.

Tielemans recovered from his 'cantbearseditus' and scoring for Belgium against England.

You have a short memory. Against Fulham last January he pretty much ran the game, hit the crossbar, did all he could to lift us. 
 

With the talent at his disposal the so called elite manager we had at the time utterly ****ed everything up. We became a total shambles.

I'd argue you have a short memory.

 

That last season he was with us I saw 80% of his games home and away. The bloke looked less bothered than almost any other footballer I've ever seen and I include Gareth Williams in that. He simply gave up. He did have the odd good game because he's immensely talented but, largely, he stunk the place out.

 

And it isn't an isolated case either. It was very much the case at Monaco too. He's got form for doing **** all if it doesn't suit him.

2 for Youri...

If Faes and Maddison get on the pitch there will be a lot of international players that got relegated with us last year in one place.

Fully agree with the BIB.

 

Tielemans needed to be at that level for the other 37 games though, which he certainly wasn't.

Tielemans looks a Stone lighter.

 

Its really criminal that we got nothing for him other than a year of him running down his contract at Greggs

Edited 26 March by 5waller5

[dynamark]

he was some player though when involved.Greggs computers have been down hence the weight loss.Belgium were no 1 rank team with him Timmy and Denis incredible

[notnow john]

He now looks like an athlete, not the pilsbury dough boy!

Would like to know his weight difference from last season to this .

[HybridFox]

Knowing we got relegated with these internationals...

[HarryDee8]

Apparently man utd want Southgate after the euros

We probably would have gotten more if he wasn't a fat lazy **** in the last season for us.

Hated when here (by some) hated when gone.

Watching the ex Leicester boys today is like bumping into your ex with her new fella!

[Wymsey]

Heavy loss for Kevin Phillips at Hartlepool..

We’d have got more if we’d sold him! 
 

He clearly wasn’t motivated in that last season, piled on the pudding and left for free. 
 

I’m not even sure who to be more mad at - Rodgers or Rudkin for letting it happen

[melrose]

I see that Tielemans has picked up his tools tonight!

Do we actually know if anyone wanted/bod for him in that time?

 

He always alluded to the fact he wanted to go to a "top 6" club, but I doubt any of them would have wanted him.

They couldn't make him go could they! If Tielemans decided he wanted to see out his contract then they're stuffed. He probably believed that by doing so, he'd be a more attractive prospect for a big club and in the process, get higher wages and a big fat signing on fee because the club didn't have to shell out on a huge transfer fee.

 

Logically he was right too. Unfortunately, any big club watching his final season performances would have seen a midfielder lacking in effort, drive and constantly giving the ball away whilst puffing and panting like a fat girl. The best he could get in the end was a decent Villa side where he's well short of being a regular. However, that probably doesn't bother him too much as long as he's pulling a good wage.

 

You can't sell someone who refuses to go or who nobody wants.

Tielemans did it on Tuesday night, but who was the first Belgian international to score against England after leaving Leicester? 

 

That was Honore Vlamynck:

 

 

Born in 1897, he was wounded while defending his homeland from the Germans and came to England to have those wounds treated - arriving in Leicester in late 1914. In 1918 he played four games for Leicester Fosse in the wartime Football League (Midland section), scoring three goals. 

 

The Leicester newspapers were having trouble with his name. This was the Leicester Evening Mail on November 2nd:

 

 

 

The Leicester Daily Post two days later was getting a little closer:

 

 

 

Then the same paper three days after that:

 

 

 

The Nottingham press were having similar trouble:

 

 

 

As you can see from that report, he was turning out for the Belgian Army as well as playing for Fosse.

 

He returned to Belgium to play for Daring Club Molenbeek, winning the title with them in 1921. Then in March 1923 came that goal against England - a consolation for Belgium in a 6-1 defeat at Highbury.
