As long as he has ‘a shield’ Ndidi is the perfect team mate for Tielemans as is the the bloke he plays with at Belgium (plays for Dortmund..?) Tielemans needs time and space and needs other midfielders to play the ‘dirty game’. Given that, he’s sensational 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hammo Posted 9 January 2021 Share Posted 9 January 2021 This is the Youri Tielemans we all got hyper excited about when we signed him. Paste together his first 45 minutes against Man United and his second 45 today (and throw in the goal at Newcastle for good measure) and you have a world class midfielder second to none. If he keeps up this form through to May, and gets the rest of the players dancing to his merry tune (as happened in the second half today), we will be genuine trophy-winning contenders. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StriderHiryu Posted 9 January 2021 Author Share Posted 9 January 2021 15 minutes ago, Goober said: He ran the game at walking pace today. He's sensational. Belgian Toni Kroos That's exactly the player he is most reminiscent of, and given that Kroos is 31, is why I think Real Madrid are a team that would have a heavy interest in Tielemans. The one thing that probably works in our favour is that Madrid usually buy the finished article. They signed Kroos on a free from Bayern after he won the Champions League for example. So Tielemans needs to play a few seasons for us in that competition before he can go! But as others have said, he would not look out of place in that team, or any team at all. Jamie Vardy is and probably always will be our greatest, but Tielemans might well be the type of player where you think "Did Youri Tielemans really play for Leicester!?" as he picks up a Balon D'Or, etc. Deep lying midfielders don't usually win it, but for me Tielemans can start to be discussed along the likes of Pirlo, Kroos, Xavi in terms of the way he plays. Just needs a few trophies to compete with that lout, hopefully starting with the treble for Leicester starting this season! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshall Cockney Fox Posted 9 January 2021 Share Posted 9 January 2021 First half he was off it mostly. Second half the Rolls Royce slid into gear. No surprise that when that happened we won at a canter. Class player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durnerz Posted 9 January 2021 Share Posted 9 January 2021 A real gem in the middle but when you've got a runner with the intelligence of Castagne it makes the job so much easier to thread balls through the defence. I can see this being a deadly combination. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmono84 Posted 10 January 2021 Share Posted 10 January 2021 If we manage to nail him down long term then it really is a statement of intent. Would be massive for any potential signings to show to them were taking the top 6 seriously not just off the pitch with the wonderful training ground but on the pitch also! Get Tielemans signed up! The guy is the bees knees! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Flair Posted 10 January 2021 Share Posted 10 January 2021 Fast on his way to being the 3rd best player to play for us in the modern era behind Vardy and Mahrez. Unbelievable and is fulfilling the ridiculous hype I bought in to about him when he first came through at Anderlecht and he was the poster boy of European youngsters. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koke Posted 10 January 2021 Share Posted 10 January 2021 Tielemans in full flow is ****ing sensational. Incredible football IQ. Vision, passing and movement in abundance. That ball to Albrighton he has done so many times, he made almost an identical pass to Under away to Arsenal. 17 hours ago, Ric Flair said: Should be our 2nd highest earner behind Vardy and captain next season. As Vardy and Schmeichel are nearing the end of their contracts soon, Tielemans will become our highest earner when he signs a new deal. Might as well give him the captain armband as well.

Col city fan Posted 10 January 2021 Share Posted 10 January 2021 3 hours ago, The whole world smiles said: Not a fan of kante Ric? I honestly think the Premier League win was founded on Kante. He was the engine room that enabled Mahrez to play in the way he could. He also made Danny Drinkwater into a better player than he was Vardy for me is Leicester’s best ever player. But I hold Kante in a higher regard than I do Mahrez in respect of our title win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
