Youri Tielemans (Summer 2022)

I don't see any club paying the fee we as fans would want. £50m tops for a player with 1 year left, but maybe less. 

 

He is a fantastic player but I don't think he improves any of the teams he's been linked with. Maybe I'm just being bitter in anticipation 🤔 😕 

An ageing Ings just moved for ~£30m with one year left. We will still get an okay fee, particularly if there are multiple clubs interested. I suspect he will sign a new deal regardless, with a CL clause, and leave if we don’t get CL. 
 

It would sour his legacy a little bit for me if he let his contract run down, meaning we get a reduced fee and are unable to adequately improve the squad after he goes. It shows a lack of respect for the club, and I don’t think that’s an accurate description of Youri tbh.

Seems as though his agent is very keen for him to go to a 'Big Club' and maximise his own earnings. 

 

It would be great if Youri signed a new deal that was good for him and the club - we did sign him when he was at a low ebb after all and help resurrect his career. 

 

His legacy with us however, is assured.

There is first "our" Business at hand...

what happens in 2022....hi interest what so ever...

 

This Mix of Rumors Works because every dozo, causes Clickbait, and wants a Slice of the action...

Has been off the boil in the first three this season (as has the whole team tbf).. head been turned?

I love Youri....mainly for scoring the winner in the FA Cup final but I don't personally think he's a world beater. Plenty of times he's gone missing in matches and if I'm honest I think we are his level. This to me could be another Van de Beek situation.....grass isn't always greener Mr Tielemans.....you may have a sexy name but in my mind you still have a lot to prove......controversial comment finished.....dons tin hat

 

Arguably there are a lot of other players playing at lowlier clubs than ourselves that should be moving on soon....Kalvin Phillips, Declan Rice, Richarlison, St-Maximan, Traore, Mcneil, Coady, Mings, Zaha, Bissouma......just because someone thinks they should move doesn't always mean that they will

Hahaha all I pictured when reading this was some bloke on his knees, snot bubbles and dribble all over his face, screaming "you'll never find another one like me again, please don't leave!!"

I wish our other players looked this good when off the boil, I wish they looked this good when on the boil

I can see him leaving the UK, he's a smart kid and the lifestyle is so much better for someone in his wahe bracket in Spain or Italy. Even PSG. 

[Blanchflower78]

Trust the club to have a replacement in mind. Shame but it's just the way it goes with us and others like us.

Didn't work out too well for him at Monaco though, Voted biggest flop of the year before they loaned him out to us.

Be interested to see how he gets on. Just because it worked here doesn't mean it'll work elsewhere. 

That's true for players at the level of Drinkwater and Chilwell but not for Youri. He's like Kante was, he'll be mustard wherever he goes.

Don't get me wrong i love the guy and desperately want to keep him as long as possible . But he definitely does have these " off the boil/knackered " spells . I kind of thought after his Monaco spell he might be more hesitant to go for a big move . 

But the signing of only a 4 year contract said all along we were just a small part in the grand plan .

He gives the ball away too much unexpectedly to break my heart.

I think where Youri moves may well depend on what happens with Pogba

 

Pogba has been linked to PSG, Madrid, and Man Utd want to keep him, can see whichever 2 teams miss out on Pogba going for Youri

We've already signed his replacement. It's Soumaré.

[Phenom]

United have larger needs than an 8 and they’re going to get in a bidding war for Haland. I don’t think he goes there.

 

I too think he leaves but I’m not going to dismiss his talent. He is the first name on the team sheet, and he’s been our best player again, even with Maddison being absolute crap.

I wouldn't be so sure. We have a tendency to plan ahead, and I wouldn't be surprised if Soumaré was the guy the club plans to take Youri's place when he inevitably moves on.

[FerrisBueller]

Hoping he does us a favour and signs a little bumper deal with a view to leave this summer, even an extra year would help massively with his valuation.

Enjoy the beautiful bastard this season because it’s almost definitely his last

....Soumare is not of the same quality...he is more Ndidi.!!!

A formation of 4-3-3 would be more the transition of this team, and a midfield three of Soumare, Ndidi and Tielemans makes more sense. Soumare will give Tielemans the opportunity to control the game and influence our play more.

 

[WigstonWanderer]

A most welcome thread. Makes being in denial that much more difficult.

They don't. That's their main weakness to me.

 

It'll be them or Liverpool I fear. Liverpool is largely just because he keeps getting linked though, it seems an odd one to me, he doesn't really feel like a Klopp type of player.

 

Please not Chelsea either. Wouldn't feel right if he ended up there given what his best moment here is. I'd much rather sell him to Spain.

[filbertway]

Madrid would make a lot of sense with their midfield having an average age of 83
