Popular Post Corky Posted 1 June 2023 Popular Post Share Posted 1 June 2023 You can't expect people to give considered opinions within a week of a totally avoidable relegation. Time will probably help but fans are fed up with a lot of the squad. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Tom12345 Posted 1 June 2023 Popular Post Share Posted 1 June 2023 I have to say the way the club handled his contract situation was disastrous. He was deemed important enough so that even though he was running down his contract the club did not sell him last summer. Now he is leaving on a free. If it was a gamble, it certainly did not pay off. Not only are we relegated, I think Tielemans has been particularly poor the whole season. To allow him to run his contract down, we gained nothing. It may have been worth it if he helped us get into a CL spot, instead of relegation. Worst of all, his situation encouraged other players to follow his lead. To have 7 players out of contract this summer is crazy considering the amount of money involved. I think Tielemans has a lot to answer for in terms of our relegation. Poor decisions were made at the top. Rudkin. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poor decisions were made at the top. Rudkin. ...we indulged him, Rodgers was constantly fawning over him, we gave him the armband and accepted him signing a 4-year contract!!! Tielemans knew exactly what he was doing from the start. We could not sell him as it was down to him to accept another club's offer, and the large signing-on fee for his next club would have been scuppered. I said that we should try to force Arsenal's hand by setting a deadline, where they either buy him now or we retain his signature and look to the rest of the season, as there are other players in this club who needed to know what our plans were for the team. There is no need for abuse, he encountered the same at Monaco (so probably use to it) but I cannot agree that it is ever called for. For those querying where he will end up, Your will do what is in the best interest of Youri, he has it all figured out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the way he had been playing, even picking up £15m for him at the time would have been a better return. His form was never there to aid us this season and if it was a genuine offer from Arsenal we should have taken it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nathan. Posted 1 June 2023 Share Posted 1 June 2023 If somehow Youri stays it would be because of pure desperation from the player and the club. Get him gone and off the wage bill. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albrighton. Maddison. Bar Vardy, who out of that list actually wanted to be here? To have alternated the armband six times, amongst players who don't want to be here and/or have already checked out, don't you think there was a clear problem?

desertfox2 Posted 1 June 2023 Share Posted 1 June 2023 He's been gone since the FA cup final really. Which puts him in our history. The club should have taken the money instead of him staying and running down his contract. Let's face it. If a player is down towards the end of their contract they are hardly going to want to risk serious injury by putting their body on the line and missing out on a huge contract with a massive signing on fee that sets them up for life. Why Rodgers would think it a good idea to make a player in that position captain is beyond me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicesterpool Posted 1 June 2023 Share Posted 1 June 2023 Think in the end we outpriced everyone which drove everyone away. I suppose if we had have sold him two years ago foxes fans would have moaned about being a selling club again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie Vard-on Posted 1 June 2023 Share Posted 1 June 2023 It could be argued Tielemans left the club about 7 months ago. The guy didn’t look bothered. Tracked back reluctantly like a fat kid running a lap during PE class. Indifference. Going into challenges with about as much tenacity as a pensioner waiting for a knee replacement. He only showed up when it was easy. It was like watching a bloated Diego Maradona making Hollywood passes on a beach tournament inbetween slurps of methadone. If it wasn’t for the FA Cup goal, and a couple of seasons of tremendous form, I would’ve benched him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerard Posted 2 June 2023 Share Posted 2 June 2023 My memory of a year ago was that Arsenal constantly flirted with the idea of making a bid for Tielemans but never followed through with it leaving Leicester and Tielemans in limbo. As far as I'm aware we never had the luxury of turning down a bid for Tielemans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winchesterfox Posted 2 June 2023 Share Posted 2 June 2023 He scored some wonder goals, but I'm not sorry to see him go after this season. He's looked overweight and unfit, and was part of a midfield that got overrun week in, week out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
