shiv Posted 30 January 2023 Share Posted 30 January 2023 Arsenal enquiring about Jorghino instead of Caicedo. He might not get his move to Arsenal if that’s the case as they’ll probably go for Caicedo in the summer… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshall Cockney Fox Posted 30 January 2023 Share Posted 30 January 2023 Burnley hung on to Tarks for exactly the same reason last year. Staying up is worth a lot more than a low ball offer. Now remind me what happened to Burnley again? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahhh I know the answer to this one … they sacked their gaffer, who then joined Everton sometime after and got them relegated too (hopefully).

Ian Nacho Posted 30 January 2023 Share Posted 30 January 2023 With the predicament we’re in, I’d rather we just kept Youri for the rest of the season tk keep us in the division and let him go for free in the summer than letting him go for £10m now. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly I am not sure he gets a better offer than signing a new contract with us. It will be interesting to see what happens in the summer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyKopCorner Posted 31 January 2023 Share Posted 31 January 2023 If we can get this team together and show more ambition in the summer too then we may still be his best bet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sly Posted 31 January 2023 Share Posted 31 January 2023 In theory, us keeping Youri if we get an offer of £10m, I think we’d consider it, if we could sort a replacement player on loan. 150 days until June 30th. So Youri would in effect, we costing us £66,666 per day, if we don’t shift him. Could that with the wages of £140k per week, you’re looking at a player that would be costing us £86,000 per day. Plus we won’t need to pay his annual loyalty bonus etc Now you shift him off the wage bill, it eases FFP, we get a bit of money for next seasons rebuild. I don’t want it to happen and I’d rather him sign a new deal. However if he won’t, we should sell him now if we can sign a replacement player on loan. It’s brutal but it’s the reality of where we’re at. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That could swing it - The age and defib are irrelevant tho. Would Youri currently walk into the Man U team if a fit Eriksen was available?

Wasyls Pec Deck Posted 31 January 2023 Share Posted 31 January 2023 Youri needs to be spoken to and told how much of a legend he can be if he stays to keep us up. Not happy with his levels recently. But yes, stupid to sell now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This isn't an exact science but I think he wants to remain in this country, hence why there's been no pre contract agreed yet that he already could have done with a European club. We're in for a central midfielder from what I gather so this could be very interesting. Newcastle would be keen but he won't want to go there, I reckon we let him go though should a £10-15m bid come in which is peanuts for Arsenal, Man Utd etc. It would be stupid to sell our only no.8 (and world class) player just when we are looking to be bringing in creative players.

We can debate how consistent Tielemans is, as I doubt anyone disagrees he's a great player on his day, though for me his day comes far too infrequently, but surely we can all agree that Tielemans is absolutely nowhere near nor ever has been world class? Can't believe people still trot this out, he's categorically nowhere near the level of genuine world class midfielders like De Bruyne or Kimmich and I'm not even convinced the latter is truly world class either.

Agree amd disagree but I couldve been clearer I guess, but I blame deadline day for that and being preoccupied! Yes he absolutely is inconsistent for parts of the season. But, he's always plugging away and is one of our most reliable players out of our entire squad and plays a lot of games per season even at times when he could be rested. I've found it unusual that Rodgers seems to run him into the ground. That said, he is a football player. During all those games and when we've had a fully fit squad with the talent those players bring he does have world class games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've found it unusual that Rodgers seems to run him into the ground. That said, he is a football player. During all those games and when we've had a fully fit squad with the talent those players bring he does have world class games. That's the old Robbie Savage "I was world class at times" quote though. Almost every Premier League footballer has individual games where they look like a world beater, I mean even Ahmed Musa had 1 or 2 of them for us. But I've heard our fans call him "world class" many times over the years and it's always just seemed silly, he's never been anywhere near consistent enough for that and never really been close to being one of the very best midfielders in the world or anything. I've always found him an incredibly streaky player who I think he can be a quality player on his day, but will also go long stretches of games where he can't seem to make a decent pass. I would disagree about reliability as I think he's absolutely one of the most unreliable players in the squad, though one of the most talented. His lack of reliability has always been his big frustration with me, never feels like you know which Tielemans you'll get when the game starts. And he's had many, many poor games even when we've had a fully fit squad and in general had quite poor seasons in both 2019-20 and 2021-22 so I don't really get that opinion that he's great when the team is fully fit. Think it was the general majority opinion at the time that he was one of the weaker players in our XI after Perez in 2019-20 when we finished 5th and largely had a great first XI. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is absolutely not world class. If he was he would have been sold several seasons ago. He would probably look closer to World Class in Italy where the game is slower, maybe even Spain too but in the Premier League he doesn't have the legs or the consistency. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
