He's played himself into this position and if he isn't careful he'll end up with something far worse longer term than what he has currently should this continue to roll on. If there are no offers for YT what chances are there of selling lessor playersNn, zero I suspect. Need a plan B fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can 'remind' him all we want, but there's ultimately nothing stopping him from saying, "Thanks for the reminder chaps, but I'm going to take my time over this important decision." The ball is completely in his court and there is nothing we can do about it. Totally agree. For fear of drumming home the point for the umpteenth time, setting a deadline is preposterous. It is the club that WANTS to consider selling him. The club WANTS the potential money. The only deadlines the club like setting are acquisition of away tickets for European games; 364 days for bus1 priority, 15 minutes for everyone else with 4 or 5 minutes notice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah Thats nonsense imo Even if Tielemans stays and sees out his contract, there’ll be plenty of top clubs interested in taking him on a free at the end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly correct, the top 6 have a bench full of players most at a similar level to what’s on the field. If he moves he has to accept that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Product of 84 Posted 12 July 2022 Share Posted 12 July 2022 Surely, it's in the buying clubs best interest to delay his move as long as possible simply to put us under pressure. I'd imagine he knows where he is going and the club who are buying him will be waiting until the end of the window to prevent us getting his replacement in. Also I'd imagine they have offered something silly like 6million. Leicester will have gone back and said we will only listen to xxx offers. So the buyers wait and put in a 10million offer at the end of the window. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not taking him in the pre-season tour? Threatening to leave him out of the Prem squad? Because there is literally zero chance of either of those things happening while he remains a Leicester player.

Life doesn't stop just because someone's priority differs from yours. There is a squad of players who need to know how we are going to proceed for the season. We just accept that he is going nowhere and plan accordingly. We do not have to instigate punitive actions, he has a contract and unless he is violating the agreement, there is no reason to demote or put him up for ridicule. In one stroke, the club is then back in control of the situation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
