It has been an absolute pleasure having a player as talented as Youri playing for us. Really hope that he goes abroad when he leaves as it would be hard to see him playing for another team in the PL. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He leaves Leicester as a legend in my eyes due to his FA Cup final heroics. He bought silverware to the club and has been superb in 2 out of 3 seasons. He deserves a really good send off tomorrow and hope he gets it, he will from me. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look, if he wants to go, fine, on his day he is worthy of Champions League football. I could genuinely see him eased into a Real Madrid midfield to replace their aging players. He hasn't been at it this season, for whatever reason. But we've had some glorious moments from him, none more so than arguably the greatest FA Cup Final goal of all time. Go well, my sweet Prince. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Col city fan Posted 21 May 2022 Share Posted 21 May 2022 I think he’s a great player and will go on to get better and better. I’ll be slightly sad when I watch him performing so well for another side, cos I think that’ll happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig Posted 21 May 2022 Share Posted 21 May 2022 On 10/05/2022 at 14:13, FoxyLeon said: People are forgetting he was considered a failure at Monaco, and has been consistently poor/average for Belgium. There have been times where he has shown huge glimpses of quality, like the FA Cup final. But overall, he has been average, especially for the fee. His quality, compared to Fofana for example, is clearly lacking. He's not in that Mahrez/Kante/Vardy bracket that people want to put him in. I'd argue he doesn't even have the consistency of a Fuchs, and definitely not an Ndidi. But I will also say, Rodgers has to take huge blame for Tielemans and our midfield. You can't be this close to a relegation battle, with the likes of Ndidi/tielemans/Maddison to choose from.

If we had been watching him this season playing for another side with the same personal performances in that side that he's had here, with the ambitions we have, if we were linked with him for 35/40m, would we be really keen to sign him?

Not condoning it but I think the reason Mahrez gets booed is because how he acted to try and force a move going on strike etc and the comments he’s made in interviews since . 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guarantee, he never wins a domestic league title in a major league during his career. I didn’t say he belongs in that bracket. To suggest that he’s simply been an average signing ‘for the fee’ is laughable. This season he’s not been great, but it’s amazing how quickly people forget just how good he has been for us in previous seasons - player of the season and players player of the season last season… As for the comparison to Ndidi… if you think Tielemans has been bad this season, have you watched Ndidi? Given how poor and average he’s been for Belgium he plays pretty much every single game for them and has been captain recently… He has also achieved far far more than Fofana ever has, albeit at an older age. Fofana is a wonderful talent, but so was Tielemans, and he’s achieved a lot and played at a very high level for most of his time here. Tielemans has been below his usual standards this season (certainly not as bad as some make out), but let’s not forget what those standards are.

Don't be surprised if he decides to stay. Hardly a queue for his services is there? It would be ironic if he decides to see his contract out and then kicks into top form. Mind you Pogba hasn't so it probably wouldn't happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s something we’re going to struggle to replace. I think people also seem to miss how teams have set up to stop him playing more this season. A few teams have targeted him by doubling up on him, Roma in particular doing it very effectively. Without him they’ll concentrate on stopping other threats, presumably Maddison. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are plenty of players highlighted on this forum who can take over his role and give us the consistency we need in that area. Stopping him has always been too easy, just pressure him and you take him out of the game, exert pressure on our team and and he is nowhere to be seen. He is limited by his lack of pace and his stamina does not serve him well. He is coasting and needs to work on his game, the occasional brilliance does not excuse the average performances he trots out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolhandfox Posted 21 May 2022 Share Posted 21 May 2022 Legend..... He could be a dossers for the rest of his career at another club. Or be brilliant somewhere else. I couldn't careless, he scored the winning goal in FA Cup final for us. He's a Starman forever in my eyes! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
