Youri Tielemans

[Ric Flair]

I think he'll stay. We've been through this before with players and the ones that leave, aren't negotiating new contracts just weeks before. OK, perhaps he was only prepared to sign a new one if we got CL football but given he's open to staying and we have won the FA Cup, I think if we are honest and fair with him and ask him for one more year to qualify for CL with a new deal worth £110k a week then he'll stay.

BR had a long word in his ear at full time after the Cup Final and I sensed something was up then.

 

I'll be gutted but he's a top, top player and in his prime. We were fortunate to see him play for us.

We want to sincerely hope he doesn’t go.

He’s head and shoulders above just about every other player at the club.

Lose Tielemans and we’ve lost our only playmaker in the team

He’s staying thank ****!!

Why on earth do you think @Bert could add anything?

Where does this Bert being in the know thing come from?

😄

I don't want to fan the flames and @Bert would never claim to be itk; but when he posts; I'd listen to be fair.

 

I often hear similar to stuff he has posted up and its usually spot on. This is a topic that always gets people angry, so lets just leave it there, but sometimes things just don't come off and it can look like the info is wrong; but actually things like transfers etc are complicated matters.

 

I'll mention one thing which is that @Bert and I (I think it was Bert) got a load of abuse when we said there was an incident (the Covid party) and I got vitriolic comments. And then few days later the story broke. There weren't many (any) apologies; but that's just how it is.

 

I appreciate how information is shared and things don't always come off 100%. You trust who you want; but if Bert posts something up, I sit up and listen.

There would be no one more gutted than me if he left Col.

 

Just my hunch, but I think he's destined for bigger things.

 

God knows how we'd replace him mind..

Well yeah exactly. He’s still under contract, we have no obligation to sell, even if he does’t sign a new deal. It’s not as cut and dried as us just allowing him to walk because we’ve fluffed our lines and we’ll be playing on Thursdays and Sunday’s. He’s a very valuable asset contracted to the football club for another 2 years - and at the end of the day the club is bigger than his contract alone. 
 

Ive absolutely no doubt he won’t throw his toys out the pram if we put our foot down and exercise our right to reject all offers if he’s not for sale. 

[Daz93]

Where the hell do people think he would even be going? It would take a huge sum, much more than Maguire, for us to even think about it. There's only a handful of clubs able to pay that kind of money and I don't think any of them are in the market for a Tielemans type player at the moment.

It appears a transfer already been agreed

The farewell at Wembley and today clearly shows there something not right

???.

 

what‘s clear is that with two years left on his current contract, he needs to do something this summer to protect his value to us 

 

that means he leaves or extends

I think if he does go we absolutely have to put our foot down and say he’s not going to a domestic rival.

 

We’ve sold a “big” player every summer since the title win but Maguire, Chilwell and Drinkwater were never going anywhere other than another English club stupid enough to pay over the odds.

 

He’s an elite player, if he leaves here there will be huge demand. Juventus, Barcelona and Real Madrid all need a midfield revamp. There’s a lot of turnover at Bayern at the minute too, they may be interested. Selling him to Manchester United or Liverpool would be beyond disappointing.

What makes you say that?

 

[FoxTrott]

Pogba is supposedly moving away from United this summer, could certainly be an option for them.

 

I really hope an offer from abroad comes in. Everything I’ve seen points towards an exit.

If that was the case Fabrizio Romano would be all over it and he's said he's in talks for a new deal. Go back to slagging off Luke Thomas instead pal.

[FoxTrott]

Probably had a gentleman’s agreement with Top I’d imagine, given how “good bye-y” he was at the end

Not sure what luke Thomas has to do with this but if you was at Wembley YT was very emotional and appearing to say his goodbyes like today

😂 utter guff

[Happy Fox]

Tielemans deserves to play Champions League football, and he probably feels that way, it would be a real shame to lose him but that’s the reality because we finished 5th. Unless we offer mega wages for him.

 

We would probably demand £80-100m and not many teams can afford that probably the likes of Manchester City and co.

In the current climate I think we struggle to get much above 60m

Hasn’t Bert got a few things wrong lately? Example Chilwell transfer 

[kyleolly]

I wouldn't begrudge him a move to a massive team but I think he's clever enough to realise he's better off being a big fish in a medium sized pond rather than being a small fish in a big pond

All the more reason we shouldn’t sell.

 

With the Tv money now fixed for the next 3 years it may prove financially smarter for us to let him run down his contract than sell in a depressed market.

I think he’ll be one of the top midfielders in the world mate. I could see him at Bayern or Barcelona

Why would you choose to be so unpleasant to a fellow poster who contributes loads to this forum? He’s been active for years. You come across as somewhat aggressive, and it’s just unnecessary. 
 

A period of reflection before you post may be helpful.
