Gotta be worth a look, surely perfect in that RW position for us Thoughts go out to Ric at this time Still can't make my mind up on Faivre in terms of his best position. He's not really a right winger put it that way, tends to be more comfortable centrally with licence to roam. He's a good player but without sounding like too much of a broken record, I prefer Ludovic Blas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spuff your entire FFP allowance in about 18 months and then have to settle for Demarai fvcking Gray when you unsurprisingly still don't qualify for the Champions League. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve said this a few times but he could be a huge asset for a possession team. Not necessarily because he will get the goals and assists but because teams need to double or even triple up on him. He does have that scary ability to make space for others. Whether that’s enough I don’t know but people are too focused on the stat side of things to consider that. i think it was klopp last year saying how impossible he was to handle.

Jaspa Posted 29 January 2022 Share Posted 29 January 2022 Interested watching Arsenal & Man U push for Ruben Nevez, particularly considering Youri's contract ticking down with us. £40m being put out there by press. Different player to Youri, more of a fulcrum but same position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would put rice ahead marginally of youri and he's English. Never will be cheaper too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Different player to Youri, more of a fulcrum but same position. Nevez is a bit more physical, United need some presence in the centre of their midfield desperately. And frankly, Tielemans is beyond Arsenal and given that he's a smart guy with his head on his shoulders, he quite possibly wouldn't be enthusiastic about going to United in their current state. Whilst I think Rangnick shows an important policy shift, they're a long way from proving they're really headed in the right direction. Foxestalk might have it in their heads that Tielemans is off form and thus his stock is dropping but this place has a track record for not appreciating its own stars while they're here. Mahrez got similar treatment with plenty who couldn't wait for him to go. Like Mahrez, Tielemans is genuinely world class, probably better player relative to his position compared to the rest of the world than Riyad was. He's got the ability to go to a Bayern, Chelsea, Man City, Real, Juve, PSG and win titles year after year, genuinely compete in the latter rounds of the CL on a consistent basis. Just because Arsenal can afford him, doesn't mean he'll go there. He may end up going for less than Nevez but he'll go to a bigger club and have a better career, that's almost guaranteed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They really don't come much more physical than Mctominey. If Utd are weak , its their disfunctioning back four. Varane was supposed to cure that but not yet.

Either way I think it's massively disrespectful if he hasn't made his intentions known to the club by now. If he really wants to wait until the last minute then we should get the most cash we can for him sell him asap. No one is bigger than the club.

Tielemans is within his right to run his contract down but he also has an obligation to put in 100% whilst he does. If he does that, it will enhance his reputation considerablely.

Guest ttfn Posted 29 January 2022 Share Posted 29 January 2022 Seeing that West Ham are in for Raphinia (albeit it’s been turned down) goes to show quite how challenging it’s going to be for us over the next few years. He is exactly what we need and there’s not even a hint of a whisper that we’d be in for him because we all know we can’t afford it. The top 6 are to varying degrees sorting their shit out and there’s a lot of new investment in our competitors the next level down. Meanwhile our owners are (totally reasonably and rightly) committed to self-sustainability but have elected to invest in infrastructure rather than the squad. Again, not saying one is right and one is wrong but you only have to look at what happened to Arsenal once they had to fund the Emirates to see that sustainability comes at the loss of on-field competitive advantage not just in the short-term but in the long-term in the bizarre economy of football. Missing out on the top 4 2 years running is a huge sliding doors moment for the club. A year ago there were questions about whether there was now a “big 7” but we’re staring down the barrel of being another Southampton, not of course that there’s anything wrong with that per se.

The question is whether another 16 months of Youri's influence on our performance means more than the fee we might get for him. If he helped us back into the top six ,it might just be.
