The Tottenham game, and today until he came on, really show how Tielemans slows us down negatively. Contrast that to KDH and Tete first half, who were always playing everything first time. I said at the time that the Liverpool rumours were absolute nonsense, they'd love KDH, not Tielemans. We need more energy, Kristiansen has given us that, Tete a bit too, for me Tielemans is rapidly falling into the same category as Perez and Albrighton, as players who's lack of ability to cover ground severely limits us. Not Albrighton,,,he got around quite easily…no dawdles.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now we will lose him for nothing. Good old city! You know,it doesn’t really bother me… I get more upset on gameday results & performances…if some twat in recruitment can’t do his job,or a player works out his contract and let’s it run down…why not. Its that said players services and performances that count… If Rodgers can’t get our players performing,that’s a bigger worry… Tielemans family are not rushing around, so whatever the descision, no panic buttons… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foxile5 Posted 26 February 2023 Share Posted 26 February 2023 Any news on his injury? If he's played his last game for us he goes with well wishes but I can't say I'm as devastated as I would have been eighteen months ago. Too long an under invested passenger. Another reason why player contracts seem to only benefit the players at all right now. Scandalous that he's had his eye on the exit and performed as such for so long. Clubs need a bit more protection in these circumstances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d have been straight down the tunnel for treatment and assessment. Hope it’s like guimares’ one from a month or so back which looked really bad but was only a couple weeks Edited 26 February 2023 by st albans fox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not sure. It ‘looks’ like nobody is willing to pay us anything for him based on how quiet it’s been the last couple of transfer windows. I don’t therefore think it’s a case of getting a higher transfer fee for an in demand asset. All it would be is kick the can of him leaving for free down the road and he has been clearly wanting a new challenge. I think we need to part ways for our sake in the summer as much as his. Will be fondly remembered for his iconic cup final goal and part in the 5th place finishes but time for both parties to let ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Col city fan Posted 26 February 2023 Share Posted 26 February 2023 Now I think he’s had his time here. Being subbed and not really part of the future. It’ll be interesting to see where Tielemans ends up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazza M Posted 26 February 2023 Share Posted 26 February 2023 Quite fitting that he we should end his time here with an injury. Let's face it everyone one else has had one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
An Sionnach Posted 26 February 2023 Share Posted 26 February 2023 My best guess is replacing Tielemans and Maddison with players of similar capabilities will cost us the best part of £100 million. Maddison sale price may be limited by persistent injury problems and the short remaining time on his contract. Buying so called promising players will probably mean a period of struggle for the team. Its put up or shut up time for Top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We chase the new boy on the block, not the ready made superstar,so we won’t be paying these astronomical numbers… so Top does not have to put up or shut up.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes , but the interim means we are going to struggle greatly. These two players are far too influential to be replaced with self improvers. If our owners are not now prepared to underwrite substantial transfer fees. , the inevitable will happen. We are receiving next to nothing from players leaving the club . They have to put their hands deep down into their pockets or the dream is over. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are not in the same bracket of even Spurs,let alone the rest of the top clubs. We have to accept, what and where we are financially..It is what it is… I don’t want rich oil shieks.

I respect you for that but many on here are not patient people. Of course they in no way represent the majority of the clubs supporters. To remain patient and wait for another upturn in ten years or so requires a stoicism that many on here do not have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koke Posted 26 February 2023 Share Posted 26 February 2023 (edited) Peak Tielemans was a sight to behold. Truly a wonderful technical midfielder. His only negative is his lack of pace and he looks immobile. Remember when he was worked into the ground playing every week. In 20/21 he played 51 games and in 21/22 he played 50 games. Plus the Euros in between. Crazy numbers. I'm of the opinion he's played too much football in his younger days. He has almost 500 career games (including international football) and he's only 25.

Very true. The same thing happened to Torres and Bale, too many games with little recovery can negatively impact the most robust of players. Youri is a legend, regardless of what people think of him and along Vardy and Mahrez will go down as one of our greatest ever players. That strike helped establish one of the most unique footballing moments in recent history…… what a few years this club has had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxile5 Posted 26 February 2023 Share Posted 26 February 2023 One of the things that I fear for Tielemans is that, aged 25, there have been 430+ first class games been through them legs. He's spent vast periods of time here looking leggy and off pace. The 'needs to play himself into fitness' line has been trotted out but I sense a bit of the Micheal Owens about him. He's been ran into the ground a bit. Ironically, Barcelona might actually help this. He'll have a greater team around him and might be able to do less work in the games. Whether they will want someone running on fumes before their prime, however... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The past year its been very noticeable how much more often he struggles with the pace of games but at the same time he’s a bit of a paradox because he somehow looks less fit after a rest. He needs to play to stay fit but at the same time he’s running himself down. I do feel for the bloke because he’s very talented technically but he really doesn’t have the body to compete at the level he should be. For his own benefit he needs to move to a slower league otherwise he’ll be broken by the time he’s 27. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
