YT “on his day” grew rarer and rarer as his contract progressed. Yes you’re right. Not fair on Tielemans to be compared with another player who can only kick the ball with one foot.

elvisfmcfly Posted 28 May 2023 Share Posted 28 May 2023 Yeah he's gonna be fat.Will be finished up early 30s and will be seeing a lot of bench time at a bigger club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lcfc1994_2 Posted 28 May 2023 Share Posted 28 May 2023 Quite strange I think. He had a really good first 2 years with us (FA Cup final goal, stood out towards the end of 18/19 season etc..) However, it makes me think, IF he was that good, why hadn’t a club gone all out for him, along with Monaco letting him go. He was also rated as one of the worst signings in the French league.

Ritchie Posted 28 May 2023 Share Posted 28 May 2023 I have no time for Tielemans. I never usually take a swipe at any of our players, but he hasn’t been at it all season, but happily took his money. I hope he fails wherever he ends up. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Nacho Posted 28 May 2023 Share Posted 28 May 2023 He was world class for us for 2 half seasons and then after that it was just moments of brilliance. His lack of pace was really evident when he was in a poor side. Good example of good player in a good team, not so much in one that isn’t performing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I expect more from the 40m player than the one that progressed through the academy as a late bloomer Had we spent more wisely on midfielders the likes of Mendy, Soumare would’ve been sold and been replaced and that would’ve meant more competition and KDH being more of a squad player.

KDH is a Man United fan born in Nottingham. Whatever academy he comes through is redundant. I am comparing two midfield players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s only 26 but played over 500 professional games already with a good solid 10 years playing 30-40 games per season. Can’t see him lasting another 10 years probably why clubs have overlooked him He’s like a car what’s had a lot of mileage on the clock. That and his very big wage means no one has turned him whilst at LCFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justfoxes Posted 29 May 2023 Share Posted 29 May 2023 (edited) Youri has wasted over 6mths of this season going AWOL on the pitch so his dream of the big big move he was craving has probably passed him by, was watching him yesterday warming up and taking shots he Sky’d most of his shots and his body language and facial expressions were almost like a petulant child and that’s how it’s been for a very long things don’t go his way he sulks big time definitely not the stature of a club captain !

suffolk fox Posted 29 May 2023 Share Posted 29 May 2023 Will thank him for the wonder strike at Wembley that secured us the fa cup win, but like, Maddison wont be sorry to see him leave. Think he will end up playing in France again. His lack of pace is the anchor around his neck, often runs as though he is in treacle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was as good as Maddison in the run up to the World Cup. Granted I would agree with your description over the last month. However, people mistake his lethargic style for laziness.

mod hero Posted 29 May 2023 Share Posted 29 May 2023 He’ll probably get a good move you know. Whichever team gets him can sell him on for a decent fee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t believe people still claim he was ever “world class” here let alone for 2.5 seasons. He was far from world class in 19/20 and was pretty widely regarded as having a pretty mediocre season one of our weaker links that season - there were long discussion on why he didn’t look anywhere near as good as he did when he was on loan - go back and look at the match ratings and discussions here. He was very good for 0.5 seasons on loan and 1 season in 20/21, but he was pretty poor in 3 out of his 4.5 seasons here really. He was brilliant on his day no doubt, but probably had more poor games here than good ones, still nowhere near “world class” though, that would put him in the same bracket as de Bruyne which is obviously laughable 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shailen Posted 29 May 2023 Share Posted 29 May 2023 His role for us was to take the ball deep and get it forward to the players in a more attacking positions. He didn't do that well enough this season and lost it more often than not. No chance a big club come in for him in what can be deemed a low risk role, at least not unless they need him as a squad player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lad1966 Posted 29 May 2023 Share Posted 29 May 2023 (edited) It is madness, when so called pundits are saying we should have sold him and not let his contract run down, but did anyone come in for him, certainly no one did last summer! So how are you supposed to sell a player, if no one comes in for him! At least his wages are off our books. I for one will be always grateful for his Wembley goal, and when he was good, he was very good, but he’s not a type of player suited for a relegation battle, like at lot of our players Edited 29 May 2023 by Lad1966 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Perez helped him no end. Ndidi no longer being a monster hurt us massively as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
