He's somewhere in the middle, really. On here just over a year ago , he was world class and worth 100 million. There were few dissenters as I remember. Now they are doing it to Fofana. With a longer contract Youri is a 50 million player , he has never been worth more than that. He is a very fine, intelligent player but de Brunye he is not.

I think he just needs to experience it first and get humbled before he realises his level. id be surprised if he goes anywhere that doesn’t have regular first team football nailed on. So I actually think he’ll have to move from England to get that. I could see him in Germany or France. I could see him thriving in Italy too. I think he’ll get the champions league football he wants but it will be on a lesser wage or comparative at best and it won’t be for the size of the club he originally had his mind set on. but he seems fairly level headed and I think he will go for what’s important- regular first team football. This won’t we his last chance of a ‘ dream move’. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This won’t we his last chance of a ‘ dream move’. I keep picturing him in a Juve shirt and I have no idea why. Spain would be ideal for him, Italy has actually become a bit of a faster and entertaining league in recent years. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the media (exclusively London oriented - unless it's a Liverpool or Mancs banner leader) have run and run with it. It's the biggest non-story since Lord Lucan alive and kicking somewhere in the South Seas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is a very fine, intelligent player but de Brunye he is not. And the difference between them is one shows commitment and the other is diffident. As for the comparison with de Bruyne - van Dijk would be a more appropriate one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RowlattsFox Posted 16 August 2022 Share Posted 16 August 2022 Tielemans will look great if he did sign for one of the best teams, but would probably miss out on the biggest games. He'd be happy signing for a Bayern Munich for example and play here and there and pick up some trophies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because if we sign a replacement now, arsenal will know we have no choice but to sell and will low ball us even further this way we bluff them out saying ‘pay the fee or we keep him’ high risk strategy and you’ll only know if it worked come sept 1st btw, it’s feasible we’ve decided not to replace him if he leaves Edited 16 August 2022 by st albans fox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think your last line is the most likely outcome. I disagree with this outcome, and I think he needs replacing. If he leaves late on and we don't replace him, this will be viewed by the vast majority as a massive failing. Also, Arsenal kinda know already that we have no choice but to sell, for a reasonable offer. Edited 16 August 2022 by FoxinNotts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is where he will become stuck, as no-one except us or a lesser team, are prepared to offer him that position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPH Posted 16 August 2022 Share Posted 16 August 2022 I’m sure everyone knows this… But every first team player we have, the scouting network starts drawing up a list of potential replacements and then if there is any hint of a player leaving or when they enter the last two years of their contract, the scouting gets serious very quickly. Now that doesn’t mean the ones we want will join us as there are many variables involved. But I can promise you, we are seriously looking at 4-5 replacements for Youri and Enquiries about them as we speak.. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A season to bed in and there you go. If you believe scouting networks know what they are doing , look at Man.Utd. or in fact us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hossem Aouar is literally begging for someone other than Notts Forest to come in for him with an offer, if reports are to be believed. The fact is we have 6 CM already, KDH, Maddison, Soumare, Praet, Mendy and Ndidi. If we buy a new one and Youri's move doesn't work out, we would have 8. Even with BR crazy tactics of playing 4 at a time, we would still have 4 spare Edited 16 August 2022 by coolhandfox 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jim5000 Posted 16 August 2022 Share Posted 16 August 2022 I’m starting to think I wouldn’t mind if he left this window. Im a bit bored of watching him sulk around midfield and play one good pass for every five poor passes. If it takes him going to get our window moving, then let’s do it. £40m to Arsenal - done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cincinnati Fox Posted 16 August 2022 Share Posted 16 August 2022 (edited) Youri must be a bit disappointed. Lots of (rich) (big) teams need a ball playing cm. available for 20-30m. still young and no firms offers. May go free next year but not exactly showing that the really want him. I think he will be panic brought on deadline day Edited 16 August 2022 by Cincinnati Fox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxes96 Posted 16 August 2022 Share Posted 16 August 2022 (edited) Rabiot to Utd off now due to his crazy wage demands. Can’t believe they’ve not looked at Youri yet, at only £20/25m would surely walk into their team ahead of McFred.

It's such an obvious transfer. Only thing I can think of is his lack of physicality. He’s more of a DVB/ Fred type rather than a more physical player, perhaps why they looked at FDJ and Milenkovic-savic first. That said he’s still better than anything they have currently. Selfishly we could hopefully extract a decent fee from Utd still, given their current predicament. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
