He has much more than that, but it is great to see that pace on the pitch, something we have missed without Barnes and Ricardo not at full tilt. For a young kid he has awareness and a tremendous composure on the ball, not greedy and loves to attack. What ever his assists figures are then it should be doubled, as chances went begging over and over and their #8 missed two glorious chances in the middle of the goal 8 yards out. We are a team that can still play on the counter, and someone like him, will mean that we can sit against teams like Man. City and hit them on the break as they are weak and susceptible to teams playing in that fashion. And he's only 19 and can play anywhere across the front 3, he's my new number 1 target for this summer.
Sankey93 Posted 2 June 2021 Posted 2 June 2021 If only @Ric Flair we could get adeyemi! Be a monster of a signing. I still want that player who can play behind the strikers and actually score. Calhanoglu ? Boadu ? Oliveria - Porto ? Adli ? Jonathan David ? 1

SkidsFox Posted 2 June 2021 Posted 2 June 2021 For once I'm more concerned about losing one of our better players. In previous seasons I've been fine with the loss of the likes of Chilwell, Maguires, Mahrez, Drinkwater, and even Kante (given that was the contract deal). But if we lose Tielemans then I can't see us getting in a player as good.

I agree that it's unlikely we'll be able to replace Youri with a player as good when he leaves, at least straight away. However, I think we'll be alright. I think we'll strengthen other positions and improve the depth of the squad. I was fine with the losses of Chilwell, Maguire and Drinkwater, but not so much Kante or Mahrez. Those two are on another level. We coped with the losses of all those players, and if we can do that, then I don't really worry about losing any player. 1

Nicolo Barella Posted 3 June 2021 Posted 3 June 2021 Whoever we sign for the RW will make or break our season. If we can get someone as good as Raphinha, let's say, we will have a fantastic season. It's really all we are missing imo. If we had someone as dangerous as Barnes on our right wing, teams would have a much harder time defending against us, and our other attackers would have more space to attack into as well. 1
Nicolo Barella Posted 3 June 2021 Posted 3 June 2021 Latest unrealistic wishlist Outgoing £15m Praet £8m Choudhury £7m Ghezzal Incoming £20m Soumaré £20m Madueke £20 Adeyimi £0m Bertrand £0m Cahill Net expenditure £30m Adeyimi and Madueke can compete for the RW spot. Both are flexible, Adeyimi can act as a 3rd striker and LW and Madueke can be a 10 and a LW. Shame Daka seems unattainable as he seems likely to become Vardy's spiritual successor, great movement and ridiculous pace, good finishing as well. Cahill and Bertrand on one year contracts, to provide a bit of experience after the losses of Morgan and Fuchs. Cahill can tide us over until Tarkowski is available on a free next summer, and Bertrand is just for a bit of depth whilst Justin recovers from injury.

Those two are on another level. We coped with the losses of all those players, and if we can do that, then I don't really worry about losing any player. Agree with this. Initially, the thought of losing Tielemans is terrifying but our strategy seems to be to lose one player and then invest to strengthen overall. If Youri leaves and Soumare comes in and performs, we could up the calibre of RW targets from say the 15m mark towards 30m and really improve a problem area. You’d expect to have change from a Tielemans sale if you did that and we’d have a midfield/team more balanced and less reliant on one player. If you look at Maguire (replaced by Soyuncu and probably funded the Tielemans acquisition), Chilwell (funded Castagne and Fofana) etc - we lost decent players without necessarily seeming to have a like for like replacement in the squad (nobody thought Cags was ready to step up like he did), but you can’t argue we didn’t come out stronger.

Dahnsouff Posted 3 June 2021 Posted 3 June 2021 (edited) If, hypothetically, Youri were to leave this Summer, we would need another ‘lock picking’ midfielder, as the pressure/requirement on Maddison would be just too high, and although Soumare may get us up the pitch, I see no indication he could provide the final ball for the strikers/attacking players.

Deeg67 Posted 3 June 2021 Posted 3 June 2021 Soumare is in no way a Tielemans replacement. Praet and KDH are closer in skillset. But BR will never put that level of trust in Praet, and KDH isn't ready for that level of responsibility. Therefore if Youri goes you pretty much have to spend on an established, deep-lying creative midfielder. 1
An Away Move Posted 3 June 2021 Posted 3 June 2021 (edited) I’d like Tielemans to stay but wouldn’t be devastated if we sold him for a stonking amount of money. For all that he does amazingly well I find him slow and he gives the ball away in a hurtful way sometimes. He doesn’t score THAT many either, even though when he does he tends to score beautiful goals. His vision and orchestration is his best attribute but Cambiasso’s vision was a league higher IMO. He’d have been brilliant with this team around him. There might be an older player out there who reads the game in a similar way. I’d like to think so. Or then again maybe I’m just a fantasist in denial. Edited 3 June 2021 by SydenhamFox 1
goose2010 Posted 3 June 2021 Posted 3 June 2021 Looks like Arsenal are willing to sell Smith-Rowe. He has bags of potential and has looked good in a poor Arsenal team. One I would definitely have a look at. 3

Don’t think we could turn our nose up at Zouma when Amartey is our only centre half cover going into next season. Get what ya saying but im sure he has a huge wage and personally think we can get better. Like I said the Chelsea fans I know which is a lot considering I’m from the south of England dont rate him.
