Lesta2014 Posted 17 June 2022 Posted 17 June 2022 Nowt against him waiting to see what’s what considering his stock was high after last season. If he wants to stay fine by me, quality player!
Popular Post Guest Posted 17 June 2022 Popular Post Posted 17 June 2022 Get him another year, get Wilf back to do the tackling for him and get him a right winger to pass to 8
UniFox21 Posted 17 June 2022 Posted 17 June 2022 (edited) Still is Dorsett so take it with a pinch of salt, we'd usually slate what he says. Picture becoming much clearer from all the stories coming out that he isn't in demand as much as his agent made him believe Edited 17 June 2022 by UniFox21

Which other player cost us a goal in the quarters, gave away 5 penalties and didn't contribute a goal or an assist for half a season? He's one of our top players, and by his standards that's dreadful. In that time the team improved and he was still shit. Some people don't watch our games clearly, there's nothing toxic about this but we need to move him on as his lack of physicality is a big problem for us when he stops contributing going forward. The point you make about his standards is precisely what I’m trying to say. Of course, he hasn’t been as good as he has been but that is also because he has set the bar so high. With this logic, the ‘physicality’ holding us back is just rubbish. He was arguably our best player in 20/21, was crucial to our FA Cup win and is essentially a first choice cm for Belgium. Let’s not try to rewrite history, even with him playing poorly at times last season, he still oozes class. Technically he is arguably our best player. Him giving away a goal against PSV is also a pretty irrelevant point. Have all our ‘big players’ turned up in important matches? No, obviously not. I think you are really underestimating his ability, so much so, I propose a question: who, in a 30m price range, would you suggest is better and would actually sign for us?

urban.spaceman Posted 17 June 2022 Posted 17 June 2022 Just imagine, the list of Leicester players who rejected Arsenal: Vardy Mahrez Maddison Tielemans We should try selling them Vestegaard for a laugh 3

dbtcity Posted 17 June 2022 Posted 17 June 2022 Hopefully we can tie him down to more than a 1 year deal with release clause for a certain calibre of club

majaco Posted 17 June 2022 Posted 17 June 2022 4 minutes ago, Happy Fox said: Arsenal are shite, Youri would be daft to join them. Arsenal's lottery of buying players could work sooner or later. They have bought so many midfielders over recent years. However, they may continue to underachieve. Some of the players they have recently bought will be playing the mid week games. Their spending is offensive bit they are far from alone.
Popular Post Glorious Leicester Fan Posted 17 June 2022 Popular Post Posted 17 June 2022 (edited) I think we underestimate the importance of this year’s World Cup. If offers are not forthcoming, then l imagine Youri’s agent would strongly encourage him to stick it out and leave on a free next year. But, City could justifiably put him on the bench or treat him as a squad player. And in doing so, jeopardise his World Cup prospects. A one year extension therefore makes a lot of sense for everyone.

Freeman's Wharfer Posted 17 June 2022 Posted 17 June 2022 Quite clear this idea of a 1 year extension is because we won’t offer a release clause (I admire our stance on that after we got burned with Kante going to Chelsea). If we offered the release clause he’d have signed a while back. We won’t because it would set a precedent that others can get them too. As it stands, he doesn’t want to risk being held here and is playing this in a way that allows him to dictate to a large extent. He likely knows that even if he got a big injury that hampered a move to a bigger club LCFC would still give him a new deal (ala Ricardo). I’d be surprised if he went to Arsenal. I don’t think they offer anything that would be worth the risk of a bad move with a World Cup on the horizon. Youri seems different to your typical footballer in that he has a bit going on between the ears which means it’s not just about money or the flashy pull of London. If they were offering CL football then I could see that being a pull but as it stands it’s a club who finished last season in the same position his current one did the two seasons prior to that. 2

Not saying he's not a good player. On his day. It just depends if he turns up or not. And in terms of who's better than him there's plenty of players out there that whilst they're not better than him might suit us better. Someone that runs 12km a game, tackles and wins headers might suit us better if it allows us to free up maddison and sign a right winger. Edited 17 June 2022 by Chocolate Teapot
Wizerud Posted 17 June 2022 Posted 17 June 2022 I still like us a lot more with Youri than without, so as long as there's no hard feelings, I say welcome back Youri! Let's see if we can win another cup next year! 1
Popular Post Lambert09 Posted 17 June 2022 Popular Post Posted 17 June 2022 he will 100% turn up before the world cup. In truth i think he will realize he needs to play well to get a good club in for him. Fwiw i don’t think he completely downed tools, he suffered from a more defensive position and an overwhelming amount of fatigue. We could get a great season out of him and i’m not sure why anyone wouldn’t be happy if this is what happens. One amazing season will see us getting a much better fee… it’s win win imo 15

Grebfromgrebland Posted 17 June 2022 Posted 17 June 2022 We're forgetting that he could also target a cut price move in January

I could quote several others, wouldn't neccesarily be better players but we need someone with more physicality than tielemans. Exactly sangare has everything but is likely beyond our reach. Realistically (hopefully) we need Soumare to be that guy as that's what we allegedly bought him for. Maybe Brendan can do some of his Mr miyagi coaching with him over the summer.
jayfox26 Posted 17 June 2022 Posted 17 June 2022 Gone full circle with Youri. Scores the winner the fa Cup final: absolute god, legend status, love him. Offered new contract but nothing agreed with rumours he's keeping his options open: absoltue willy puller, played shit all season, we won't miss him, fck off Youri! Rumours he wants to join a champions league team but then further rumours he'd be interested in joining Arsenal who are not in the champions league: fckin judas, get him out our club, take whatever money we can get and move on with players who want to play for us. Rob Dorsett says Arsenal have cooled their interest and Youri could sign a new one year deal with leicester: always loved him and his commitment to the club and he always gives his all, amazing news if he signs a new contract. World class player who can help take us forward next season. 4

Why is sangare beyond our reach? His release is 30m so he's likely to be available for less. And he won't go to Liverpool or another top 6 club. Unless he goes to arsenal.
