ScrumpyJack Posted 12 February 2022 Share Posted 12 February 2022 Not bigger than the club, and we’ll definitely move on from him. Brilliant on his day, but he hasn’t had too many days this season. Hopefully we can sell in the summer while his stock is high and rebuild from there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerard Posted 12 February 2022 Share Posted 12 February 2022 14 hours ago, Kopfkino said: Thought he’d already gone Rankles with me that we couldn’t even get an extra year (rather than signing a new 4 or 5 year deal) to protect his value as had been rumoured last summer. It’s why I’ll never understand Maguire getting any stick, signed a contract and we ended up with a pretty sweet. Tielemans barely wanted to be here in the first place. IMO I think the club desperately tried to get him to sign a 5y deal but Tielemans was adamant it would only be a 4y deal just to protect himself. For top up and coming players Leicester is never their intended final destination. If he had signed a 5y deal then the club could play hardball this summer demanding £60m+ and keep him here an extra year against his wishes. Now the club's hand is very much weakened which only favours Tielemans which is why we'll let him go for around what he cost us in the summer. End of an era as we had a fabulous team when we signed him which had 10 players we would struggle to improve on and just needed that RW to complete the first XI.

I don't blame Youri, when we didn't get top 4 he still didn't demand a move, he wanted to see how we reinforced and whether we could challenge again. We've failed on both so why should he sign? I'm not too worried about him going spurs, utd, arsenal though as I think it'll be a few seasons before we sort ourselves out. I think we should aim at surviving in the premier league, develop the stadium (I don't think we're going far enough with that), and invest heavily in the side in a few years, hopefully we'll have youngsters coming through to compliment the squad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pliskin Posted 12 February 2022 Share Posted 12 February 2022 I would only use him from the bench now. Let’s get KDH playing regularly, no point in giving Youri game time now if he’s off. Plus it means Wilf, KDH and Soumare can start to forge a relationship. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

breadandcheese Posted 12 February 2022 Share Posted 12 February 2022 Don't really get the upset around this. He wants to play champions league football with a big club. You can't begrudge him that. Hopefully we sell him to a European team like Bayern. In the meantime, he's still one of our best players. So get him on form, now this distraction is over, and play him so that he and we can finish as strong as possible. I'm sure he'll want to end his time with us as successful as possible.

Youri looks like he’s given up to me anyway, his performances have ****ed off along with his mindset. Literally no point in playing a want away player week in week out. Play KDH regularly, and it could save us some cashola in the summer! Plus KDH wants it, Youri doesn’t anymore. He’s a legend, I love him but the squad comes first and he needs to be given a reserved role now in my opinion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mee-9 Posted 12 February 2022 Share Posted 12 February 2022 Can’t blame the bloke, we’re only going one way at the moment. One of the best players to don the shirt on his day, and he gave us the moment our clubs been waiting for over a century. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He simply doesn't deserve to start on form, regardless of whether we want to "blood the kids" or not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
st albans fox Posted 12 February 2022 Share Posted 12 February 2022 Anyone who saw him standing on the touchline after the previous spurs debacle last may waiting to do the post match interview knew he wasn’t staying …… I believe he wanted to stay (against his agents advice) but had to accept that our not making CL meant he wouldn’t. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather have a year of delicious spite and lose him for nothing than sell another 100m player for next to nothing to a cvnt club in this country again. Just as well you're not in charge of the club then as your policy of willingly flushing money down the toilet will get us relegated sooner rather than later. We've not progressed alongside Tielemans so we have to take our medicine. Maybe if we got CL the last two seasons we would have progressed and he would have signed up. Now we have to face reality and sell him for the best price we can rather than have a tantrum and cut our nose to spite our face. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He came across incredibly humble too. What a player for us! But, seasons come and go, as do the players. As you say, Leicester City will always move on, hopefully onwards and upwards too👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The club would've known and they should be at least two years into scouting a suitable replacement. The last thing we need is to be scrambling around for a player in the summer only to end up with Rodgers indulging in his Southampton fetish and bringing in some dross from the south coast.

I've said that we failed to reinforce to a level we could challenge for top 4 (we failed to properly better the side, and we failed to challenge for top 4). It's clear he's an ambitious player and if we'd have demonstrated we could fulfil his ambitions I think he'd have signed, but we failed to do so. I didn't say reaching 5th was a failure, youri believes he's a better player than being in a team that isn't going to challenge for 4th that's why he wants the move. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ely fox Posted 13 February 2022 Share Posted 13 February 2022 (edited) Clubs aren’t spending a lot now it seems the amounts clubs are buying players for are decreasing so how much would Soyuncu sell for if Tielemans sold for £35 , 000 , 000?

Dan LCFC Posted 13 February 2022 Share Posted 13 February 2022 I've got no real ill feeling with him, should I have? I think he's a bit of a luxury on the pitch and that's the case even at his best but he's been one worth having. At the end of the day this place is full of blasting of the team and situation we're in so you can hardly blame a player of his talent for wanting to play at a higher level when everybody knows he's capable.

That would be an absolute bargain for a 24 year old it would - but with only a year left it makes it tough. I’m sure there are a couple clubs interested which would usually drive the price a little but the player may be stating that he will only leave for one of them and if we don’t take €40m then he’ll see out his final year and go for nothing. The club may have called his bluff on that which could explain his recent level of performance. In turn, that may explain why we’ve seen stories that we’re prepared to take €40m. 5 hours ago, Ely fox said: Clubs aren’t spending a lot now it seems the amounts clubs are buying players for are decreasing so how much would Soyuncu sell for if Tielemans sold for £35 , 000 , 000? We will be v lucky to get out money back on him, given how he’s playing and that he may well not play that much between now and the summer. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
