You need to get them in the cohesion of the team, understanding each other. The fact that he (Jesus) has been with us for a few weeks makes a huge difference." If he wants him that much, what the **** are Arsenal pissing around at? He might want him, but Arsenal may think why pay £30m when we could probably get him for £15m. I wonder whether we'd turn this late offer down if he's nit signing a new contract, I don't think Youri would be guaranteed starter there anyway despite what he thinks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phenom Posted 24 July 2022 Share Posted 24 July 2022 They’ve brought in two players who can play a role similar to Youri so idk why he’s still begging to go there 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you're right and I think particularly last season's performances by him have seen him potentially crossed off a few lists, certainly as a must have. Bigger clubs can see better value and potentially better players out there. I do think that for a number of reasons, many Leicester supporters view him with blue tinted glasses.

We've set a very fair price for him, he doesn't want to sign but is still being very professional. If clubs don't want to bid then we can't do much about it. The likes of Schmeichel and Vardy giving the majority of their careers to us has possibly blurred the vision- we are a good club to play for but not the elite. All I ask is that players give everything whilst they play for us. Agreed, it least he hasn't done a Mahrez (yet) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted 24 July 2022 Share Posted 24 July 2022 5 hours ago, foxfanazer said: His professionalism shouldn't be called into question at all imo. I think he's conducted himself brilliantly and will continue to do so if he stays another year. The kid is class I find it really odd how some people talk about him like he was refusing to play while criticising the club and manager in public or something. He was nowhere near his best last season and I think he'd probably admit as much but the stuff about his attitude or him not being arsed is, as is usually the case, completely unfounded. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SixtiesFox Posted 24 July 2022 Share Posted 24 July 2022 Tielemans is a quality player who is capable of making defence splitting passes that most others can't. There is no evidence to suggest that he is no longer on good terms with either Rodgers or the club. I hope that the club can come to an arrangement with Youri that is in the best interests of Leicester City and the player himself. In the meantime Rodgers will play him on merit. Contrary to what a lot of fans seem to think, I believe Your's downturn in form last season was not due to a lack of application or disillusionment with the club, but rather down to the fact that Rodgers massively overplayed him. This season, hopefully with a fully fit squad at his disposal, Rodgers will be able to do a much better job of managing his player resources in order to get the most, not just out of Youri if he stays, but out of many other members of the squad too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodgers saying he was going to have a conversation with Youri and him not having any response to questions continually asked about the situation, indicates we have not implemented any deadlines or caveats regarding the situation.
