coolhandfox Posted 27 August 2022 Share Posted 27 August 2022 1 hour ago, Ric Flair said: He was very good, as he was for the first hour vs Brentford. I am gutted to think this is his last season and reluctantly ought to be his last week here if we harbour getting anything for him. The only way he stays here is we qualify for Europe this season which looks nigh on impossible right now. Reluctantly I'd keep and let him leave on a free. It going to be difficult enough getting a new CB and RW in before the close of the window, let alone a quality CM. My biggest worry is Youri goes late and we end up with Soumare and Praet acting as his replacements. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a new manager, everything changes, we go on the front foot and the players are no longer inhibited by a formation and style that stops them giving their best. Top 6 this season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrielCaziado Posted 28 August 2022 Share Posted 28 August 2022 (edited) He’s been brilliant for us. I hope somehow he’s still here in a weeks time and is convinced to sign some sort of extension just to give himself some sort of insurance for if he picks up an injury etc. maybe another year with a lowish mark where we have to sell him if a club offers us that money. Suits us In that we get something and suits Yuri in that he gets a bit of insurance. Edited 28 August 2022 by OrielCaziado Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he picked up a bad injury next game then the club's insurance would cover it, allowing him to have his surgery and recuperate. If he had an injury 20 games further down the line, then the same thing would happen. Should he have an injury in the last game of the season, then the club's insurance will cover it. Should he have an injury after his contract has expired and he is at his new club, then their insurance will cover it. If he had an injury whilst out of contract by rupturing his ACL, (whilst walking his dog) then his personal insurance will cover it, providing he had not as yet taken up a new contract, at a new club. Depending on the terms of his personal contract, he maybe missing out on an agreed payment that would been made by the club, as against the personal insurance payment that he would have agreed.

Phenom Posted 28 August 2022 Share Posted 28 August 2022 It’s time to go. Getting 25 million for him this late in the summer would be n fine. Use it on a RW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DezFox Posted 29 August 2022 Share Posted 29 August 2022 Reports suggesting we are holding out for 35-40 today. I just can’t see it. Surely we would be expect not more than 30 at this stage?? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sampson Posted 29 August 2022 Share Posted 29 August 2022 9 minutes ago, ronnup said: I'd say he's been one of our better players consistently the entire time he's been here Really disagree with that. He was one of our best players on loan in the 2nd half of 18/19 and our best player in 20/21. He wasn't one of our better players in 19/20 or 21/22 though and often looked really underwhelming in those seasons. Think he's made a better start to this season though, or at least played well vs Brentford and Chelsea. But he's always been a very streaky player for us, he can go on long runs where he looks amazing and long runs where he looks poor. I think overall he's been a very good player for us, but I definitely wouldn't call him consistently good the entire time he's been here. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It ain't up to Ruskin to reject it is it? The order will come from above. I honestly believe if we keep Praet and Soumare then get money for him, he's not going to sign a new deal it's been on the table over a year, let him go and get some kind of fee for him. Play Wilf, KDH and Madders with Praet Soumare and Brunt etc in reserve and maybe pick up a loan or Harit or Barkley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamilton Fox Posted 30 August 2022 Share Posted 30 August 2022 I actually think we might keep him for the season in the hope that having him keeps us up. We will lose a lot more than £20 odd million if we get relegated but then I thought that about selling Fofana as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
st albans fox Posted 30 August 2022 Share Posted 30 August 2022 Tielemans is not a holding midfielder like elneny and partey he lacks the discipline to hold the space if arsenal buy him thinking he can do that then they will be disappointed in that respect 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A very very close offside (given by VAR) saved him from conceding another penalty. He seems to play when he knows he has to, and we should be holding him to these levels, as opposed to him now and again being able to thread a good ball and keeping him in the team. Great when he came to us on loan, and his levels plateaued for most of the time he has since been here.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
