Bryn Posted 10 June 2023 Share Posted 10 June 2023 So he refused to sign a deal at club which was the FA Cup holders and in Europe to go to Villa? Don’t get me wrong they’re a club on the up and it’s a good move but this is what he’s downed tools for? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshall Cockney Fox Posted 10 June 2023 Share Posted 10 June 2023 This is beyond funny, or in fact weird. He's not flicked us the bird for two years to go to Villa. Surely he was expecting a bigger boy to come calling? Surely??? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eblair Posted 10 June 2023 Share Posted 10 June 2023 Embarrassing we refused to drop a player who will be on Villa’s bench next year because he was too good for us Should have played KDH + Mendy from the start 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

car1os Posted 10 June 2023 Share Posted 10 June 2023 Think the big boys will have been turned off by his mediocrity this season (with the exception of a couple of stunning goals). His attitude was questioned at Monaco let’s not forget, part of the reason he came to us in the first place 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sylofox Posted 10 June 2023 Share Posted 10 June 2023 Not sure why people bother where he goes. He's been shit for us this season. I don't care if he ends up at mansfield town. He was hoping for a big move but has not sold himself this season. I'm just glad him and his attitude have fvcked off. Hes not as good as he thinks he is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m guessing their interest waned after the poor season he’s had. He hadn't. It was all bullshit. They weren't even interested. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who the fck do they think they are? I'm swimming against the current with the bitterness on here against Youri. But imo Villa have fluked getting a potentially top class player who's way beyond their level. This is what Villa always do. Always have. Steve Staunton or Julian Joachim or Lloyd McGrath or Peter Schmeichel or now Buendia and Youri. They wait like vultures for players who make their name elsewhere and opportunistically pick them up. Rancid club. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t get me wrong they’re a club on the up and it’s a good move but this is what he’s downed tools for? I don't think he did 'down tools'. I honestly don't believe that's in his nature. Tielemans is without doubt a naturally talented player, albeit overweight, unfit and significantly out of form. As a creative mid, he's not that versatile either - nonetheless, he's good at what he does (although he showed little evidence of it this season). He'll have the same occasional flashes of brilliance at Villa that he did for us and it's a great acquisition for them with no outlay. If he finds his form again, he may yet attract the attention of larger suitors. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That salary is going to be a massive burden for them when he’s giving the ball away constantly and then warming the bench. Looking forward to Villa having their own ffp concerns.

Yeah, if he could get 3 years younger and grow some new legs then he will do really well. Was terrible for us, and awful for Belgium. Nothing suggests he is going to magically regain his form. There will be bangers for sure, and these will paper over cracks. Edited 10 June 2023 by Chelmofox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said above, I love the guy and rate him but I DON'T wish him well. I hope his happy days were with us, his mike's on the clock take their toll and he grows to resent Villa and they him.

Bazly Posted 10 June 2023 Share Posted 10 June 2023 Maybe Villa came up with the big pay cheque and a promise of regular football. With his lethargic performances of late it'd take him an entire season to get to a fitness level to figure in one of the self entitled regular play teams. He would have become more of a bench warmer than Mahrez has managed over the years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sampson Posted 10 June 2023 Share Posted 10 June 2023 (edited) Who cares? His legs went 2 years ago and he won’t make Villa’s XI ahead of McGinn or Douglas Luis anyway: We should’ve replaced him already last summer.

Lack luster to say the least. Would a top 6 club see him playing regularly. For a team like Villa they'll see it as a coup getting a player like Tielemens.
