Tielemans is too fresh faced for me

I’d snog Amartey instead,.and have him in a 3some with Cattermole.

Truth is comming out

[TheSomersetFox]

He looks brilliant. Quietly had a great start to the season and is only getting better from here

[Tielemans63]

Bargain at £40 million. I think he could go on to become the most talented player we've ever had if we can keep hold of him.

[foxfanazer]

And to think the Foxestalk moguls had him written off after the first 5 games of the season

[StanSP]

He and Praet link up so well. You can tell they've got a special bond. 

[ScouseFox]

said it after about 3 games last season, in the top 3 best footballers to have ever played for us

[Corky]

There were doubts about the wisdom of signing him on a fairly short-term loan with no option to buy; there is no doubt getting him permanently was the key acquisition of the summer.

[Marshall Cockney Fox]

He is a classy player. Just stands out as a talent with time to pick a pass. I also like his body language, not a fancy Dan at all. Happy to put the effort in.

5 goals and 4 assists already this season. What an absolute thoroughbred of a footballer.

Wow! And just to add to this slightly, he's scored 8 assisted 8 in 26 games for us. Over a 38 game season at that rate he could get 11-12 goals and assists per season! Those numbers over the past 2 seasons (as far back as I could be bothered to look) are better than the likes of Alli, Erikson, D Silva and Pogba. The only player putting in better numbers than that is KDB who's not too bad at kicking the bag of wind around. 

 

After the game yesterday, this is what Chris Davies had to say about him:

 

“Youri’s an excellent player,” Davies said. “He’s a pleasure to work with, he’s got a top-level mentality in the way he approaches the game.

 

“Everything that Youri does is quality: the way he lives his life, the way he focuses, tactically, his intelligence on the pitch, the way he can solve problems on the pitch, he’s very coachable, he’s a good team-mate.

 

“He’s got a lot of qualities. And there’s more to come from Youri.

 

“He will get better. You saw his power in the first half, driving away from people, setting up the goal. He was excellent.

 

“With Youri he’s got this real focus. He’s in the gym, he’s doing his work, he’s preparing his body constantly for competition. He’s a very focused player.

 

“Hopefully his good form can continue and he can develop even more.”

 

I really do think he'll become one of our all time greatest players, to think he's this good and still only 22! 

[Fox92]

Class. Controlled the game yet again last night.

[m4DD0gg]

Got to be commanding 100m + for him when the time comes. 

[TheSomersetFox]

His song is class as well

[Mark 'expert' Lawrenson]

Quality signing, oozes class, great age, and seems to be a fantastic “team” player, he will be worth a fortune when he eventually wants to move on, he’s another indication of our change of tact with our player recruitment. 

[StriderHiryu]

On his way to the very top! We are now getting to the stage where he’s contributing a goal or assist every game and capable of controlling the midfield area alongside Maddison.

 

His real tests will be against the Champions League / big teams. He bossed Arsenal at home last season but can he dominate teams like that consistently? Against Man U we had the possession but he couldn’t stamp his authority on the game for long enough to force the game to be played at our tempo. 

 

I suspect he will get there soon enough and that’s when the megabucks offers will come in. A bit of a slow burner this season compared to how fast he settled last season but now it feels like he’s back to his best. 

 

Needless to say he’s a truly wonderful player. Appreciate him whilst he’s here!

The key will be in what system we deploy in the next round of tough games we face later in the season, if we go with Maddison on the wing and the lack of the dual number 8's where Tielemans revels then it could continue to be difficult for him against the very best. I thought he was one of our better players vs Liverpool though a few weeks ago.

[ARM1968]

He’s all right but come on, he’s no McTominay. 

[CosbehFox]

Am I correct in saying he’s never played against Palace? 

 

I think the best thing for him was the news of his second daughter which tells he’s happy with himself off the pitch, where he’s playing and will probably stay here for a couple of season given the baby.

No, his second game for us was the 1-4 v Palace last season.

[Sol thewall Bamba]

I love him.

Sign him up! Again!

 

Already showing his class in preseason. Great awareness, great range of passing, plays with either foot, can shoot, decent tackler, works hard, etc. I don’t need to tell you this because you know it already.  

 

I’ve read plenty on other news sites and forums that “Leicester got mugged by Monaco for a player that had a decent spell under no pressure” but these people are clueless. In fact when he leaves I’m sure he’ll be lauded for being one of the best midfielders in the league. I’m not sure how we’ve ended up with him because he’s a class act that would improve everyone other than the top two. But their loss is our gain!

 

All about the Tielemans hype train!

 

 

They can't understand how we've signed another quality  player. So they make up stuff that fits their view of the world. It's easier to make rubbish up, than believe the truth in front of their eyes.

Yes he's not quite in Winks' league either.

[Koke]

Maddison is a good footballer but Tielemans is more intelligent. Together they compliment each so well. Along with Ndidi.

[RutlanderFox]

I like to think he’s committed to the club’s long term project. Hence why he turned down reported opportunities to join bigger fish in the summer to come here

He didn't turn them down, come on and the shorter than normal contract (it'd normally be 5 years for that outlay). Says to me he knows it's a stepping stone. 

[Babylon]

Still don't think he's reached last seasons efforts, which is frightening considering how good he still is this season now he's come through an average start.
