Youri Tielemans

[coolhandfox]

We have been spoilt by Maddison and Tielemans, some City fans will only realise how good they are next season when we have neither.

He’s on 75k ish atm  

 

if you believe we would re sign him on less than that and without a stonking s/o fee because he’s out of contract then I’ve got a lot of bad news for you regarding what’s happened since 1980 ……..

Thought he was on a lot more than that but nevertheless, wouldn't want to sign him back on in his current state, time to move on.

He's definitely in the reckoning for our best XI, depends on what you base it on in terms of whether he just gets in or just misses out.

 

Unless you are going for 15/16 team as our default best ever XI Drinkwater shouldnt be anywhere near our best ever XI

But he was brilliant that year.  Tielemans FA Cup winner was phenomenal.   He is a hell of a player but probably not in the best ever XI

get him gone

[Tuna]

Got to stop the lazy passes toward the end of the game, put Maddison in big trouble and earned a booking.

[Always Next Year]

Be glad when he’s gone, lost all respect for him.

Genuinely don't think he's giving his all, tbh.

[Your Honour]

Just gives the ball away constantly, he’s had his moments for us but will be glad to see the back of him.

[Nod.E]

He starts to lose the ball because he is criminally unfit. I'd know, it's what I do after about 5 minutes of 5 a side. 

 

Get the man off the choccies and on a treadmill. 

 

It'll be as simple as discipline. He has looked at his best for us when he has looked anything like being half able to run. Usually mid-season after the summer gut has started to shed.

 

I don't think he consciously tries less on the pitch because of his pending exit, but does he work relentlessly off the pitch, sticking to a strict fitness and diet regime right now? No chance.

[tomtom]

All those wanting him gone probably wanted Kasper gone too,  look how that worked out.

[StanSP]

Not sure if he's mentally checked out or just struggling to regain any kind of form. 

 

Best bit of play was the lofted ball for one of Vardy's chances. But it's staggering how many times he's just dallying on the ball these days and gets the ball nicked off him. 

 

We need him to step up. Anything below 7/8 out of 10 is unacceptable.

[SouthStandUpperTier]

Too often gets dominated by technically inferior players simply because they are better athletes. Unfortunately I think that will always stop him going right to the top.

[Matt]

Won’t be sad to see the back of him.

 

He wants to be at a top club playing in top competitions. Best start improving on the tippy tappy shit and the sloppiness. Gives the ball away so easy in dangerous positions.

 

Delusions of grandeur.

I honestly think he is one of these footballers who see it as just a job and generally can’t be bothered. I think he more then capable but generally doesn’t put in the effort.

I have to disagree. He ran himself into the ground tonight, several times he was running back as fast as he could and was blowing out of his arse. He cares, he's just not fit enough!

[Kierzz]

Its strange for a professional sportsman to be so so unathletic like tielesman - weak, slow and has no stamina.

 

He is still our best CM though which says it all.

[Miquel The Work Geordie]

You can say he's class but a bit fat

[Chelmofox]

Soumare is his replacement. He won’t deliver the bangers but that’s all Youri has in him now. Soumare has come on leaps and bounds last few games and will lose the ball, but I think will get better and better.

 

Thing is, I think Youri has a key banger left in him.

I suppose the obvious difference is that we weren't in the process of getting relegated when Kasper left. And he appeared to like playing for us.

[kristianity77]

Tielemens is like a fat Gary Taylor Fletcher.  Bits of skill here and there and a lot of knackeredness thrown in for good measure

Reminded a bit of the old Ronaldo (the Brazilian one). Incredible skill, and capable of scoring great goals against the world's best defenders. But unable to stop a decline into chubbiness.

...but he was never pulled up with this by Rodgers, he was indulged in all he wanted!!!

...he seems to perform when he feels that he needs to!!!

  In his first loan period he was top draw, when the deal was done, the quality dropped off for a long time. Just before the World Cup, he was right back on it, the quality went off the charts again. Back from the World Cup,  and his level has dropped once again.

 You can be sure where ever he goes, he will be top quality at the start of the new season again.

I've just read that and though what, how has no one picked him up on this!? 

 

Thanks
