Has he been poor lately or is he just flawed in certain areas of his game?? ...only saw the YouTube videos, he does appear to make it look like hard work progressing the ball!!! Very much the French see English clubs as gullible and where they could likely recoup a fee for players they are looking to offload. Any traits that are so affecting their supporters, will no doubt manifest itself here, should he come. Just like another season, of Tielemans performing like he has this season and knowing there is no remuneration at the end of the it, will see a group of very disgruntled supporters.

Yea I mean Little Wes is probably still worth what we paid for him 2

Dahoud is a solid shout, he can also do work at both ends of the pitch, but wouldn’t you say that getting a player from Gladbach, would be easier than getting a player from Dortmund? Gladbach have been very much like us this season, underperformed and will go into next season with no European football. Those three all have similarities, but I feel Neuhaus would be the ideal fit, especially if he can regain his 20/21 form. 1

Most on here are desperate for him to leave after having a very poor season. Is he a bad player for that? No. Will he likely come good again with a fresh start elsewhere? Probably. Aouar is in the same position. .. I think you will find that at Monaco, Tielemans was playing every week and stinking the place out!!! They were praying for an English club to come in for him, as that was where the money was. We duly obliged. The recent statement that he is contracted (at least at Monaco) to always be in the first eleven, explains a lot, as irrespective how poor he has been here, he still gets to start the next game.

We do have the players, we just do not seek to offload when their value is at its peak.

Popular Post Ric Flair Posted 19 May 2022 Popular Post Posted 19 May 2022 I've just seen the best chant for this lad and we simply HAVE to get him. Aouar just a little bit Aouar a little bit more Aouar just a little bit You know what I'm look for 13

It's the only way we'll consistently be able to punch above our resources. We shouldn't be looking at any of our young talents and "building a team around them" we should be prepared to lose any player at the end of every season. Buy low, develop, sell high. 1

As soon as we come calling now , at least with any intent , up goes the price. If we are interested ,all our rivals will notice. They jump on the bandwagon and the auction starts. We think we have outwitted them , we get Soumaré and Daka. I haven't given up on Patson but if he sits on the bench next season watching Vardy, Barnes and Lookman play , his value goes if anything down and to be honest his agent will be telling him he made a mistake.

Dahnsouff Posted 19 May 2022 Posted 19 May 2022 Midfielder who is underperforming in Ligue Un who theirs fans want gone? A tale all too familiar......

He could easily be the first £100M defender. Comparing Maguire and Fofana is like comparing a slab and a diamond. 2
Tanya Posted 19 May 2022 Posted 19 May 2022 I'm not sure about this lad but if Fofana fulfils his potential he'd be a 70 million plus defender.

Don't get carried away lads , he is a defender and that generally means an upper limit. A few months ago people on here were saying £80 million for Tielemans and Ndidi. Values can change very quickly. If Fofana were already world class , he would have been recognised by Deschamps. The next couple of years will determine that. Edited 19 May 2022 by An Sionnach

Absolutely. If we haven't pushed on to match the players ambitions then we will be treated as a stepping stone. I have no issue with that. As soon as we got knocked out of Europa, Tielemans knew we weren't getting CL and therefore wants to move on.

The next couple of years will determine that. Fofana is unfortunate to be playing at a time when there is so much competition for a place in the French national team's defence, but he'll get there before too long. No doubt. Wes is the real deal, he's just signed a new contract and is only 21 years old. £40m is nowhere close to make us even consider a sale. Miles and miles off. 4
