Hes a strong lad Dennis took that tackle from the spurs player and got up and got on with it. - Madders would still be rolling around now.

Look good

He's definitely strong and not afraid of a tackle, Just what we need in the midfield, As it's not really Madders or Youri's best assets.

Which is why I'd keep him in the team.

Full debut he means, he's only ever came on off the bench before. Got a decent assist to mark the occasion too! 

I know Belgium have a ridiculous wealth of talent in some parts of the pitch, but if that's true it's incredible. I'm also shocked at how few games Tielemans had played for the national side given he was their boy wonder from 16 onwards.

Fair point, I did mean full debut.   He's played more minutes for Belgium in one match since joining us than in the last five years playing for other clubs.

I've got this sneaky feeling Praet will be here years. So early to say it I know but he just seems the type, the level headed, under the radar kind of player that isn't going to grab the headlines but will keep the team ticking. Bit like an Albrighton, Fuchs type of player.

I hope so! Our very own scholsey ? ;)

He's on a different level to Albrighton as well. I don't mean any disrespect to Albrighton in that either. Praet just looks so comfortable all time in every situation.

Although he hasn't scored many goals since leaving Anderlecht, if he rediscovered that ability then he could be frighteningly good. I do like the Belgian link we now have, what with Top owning Leuven, getting Ndidi before any other top level team did and us having Anderlechts best two youth products in recent years it is a trend that we should keep pursuing.

Exactly.

Belgium as a nation have really stepped up a level (or three) over the past few years, and we've positioned ourselves very well to try and take advantage of that. There's an awful lot of talent coming out of their leagues.

Hopefully OH Leuven can get promoted and we can develop a clear pathway (mutually beneficial of course) to develop top talent in both countries, as well as being a strong candidate for any Belgian or Belgium-based players to come to in order to progress their careers. 

Exciting if it pays off.

Tbf, Moussa Dembele, Kevin De Bruyne and Axel Witsel.

All 3 have had a number of long term injuries in the past though. I can't even think of a player in our country that this would be on a par with, won their domestic division player of the year and numerous other domestic accolades and trophies and then moved to Serie A where he's been described as one of the best midfielders in the whole league by his manager and yet up until this week had never made a start for his national team?

If he becomes anywhere near the club player that Marc has become i`d settle for that...Albrighton or Davie Gibson 2 will do me fine!
