I think if Brendan has his way, the midfield 3 next year will be KDH, Ndidi & Maddison Yeah I think your right to be fair mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Chocolate Teapot Posted 19 April 2022 Share Posted 19 April 2022 From what I know he wants a really top champions league club but no one is biting. Spurs being thrown out there to try and get a better contract offer from us or get a bigger team in for him? He doesn't even get in our team when everyone is fit at the moment so I can't see him getting a big move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In hindsight probably should've gone last summer. As mentioned above, heart doesn't seem in it anymore. Which is odd, given he's playing for his next move.

The People's Hero Posted 19 April 2022 Share Posted 19 April 2022 Brilliant midfielders have come and gone. Seen the bright lights and left us behind. Ask yourselves ... where are the following now: (?) (Rhetorical by the way): Danny Drinkwater Mark Draper Mark Blake Lee Marshall Astrit Ajdjdjdjdjdjdjdjarerijivivijivc. Zsolt Lazcksckzkszszkzo. We'll be alright. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the thing for me which makes me question whether it's more a bit of a crisis of confidence/drop in form than him not caring. He struggled for Belgium as well didn't he? It's world cup year - a priority for him is making sure he's on that plane. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
An Sionnach Posted 19 April 2022 Share Posted 19 April 2022 I have this feeling that Youri is one of those unfortunate types who put on weight too easily. Trying to maintain the balance between aerobic fitness and weight control isn't easy. It sometimes seems he runs out of gas and in the fast paced PL that is a real problem. The pace in Italy is a bit more sedate and brain power is a very important factor. For that reason I think it would be pointless him moving to another PL club.

Could there be a possibility that we send him out on loan (perhaps a distraction to the rest of the team) with another club, outside of the Premier League paying the bill for his wages. They would then have a player for a season, with the chance of picking him up for free at the end of the loan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say there is 0% we send him out on loan unless there is an obligation to buy, in other words just deferring the fee to next season. Not happening, we need the cash to build.

Absolutely no accountability at either club and this is a bloke who could play at the very highest level if he's bothered. I actually have a horrible feeling he might end up at arsenal, my barbers a gooner and I made a £100 bet he wont join The arse, starting to feel a bit nervous.

Popular Post TommyK Posted 19 April 2022 Popular Post Share Posted 19 April 2022 Some of the comments on here... Youri is an outstanding midfielder. Not many players can spot a pass like he can. He's going to be a huge miss. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are going to have a player who appears to be under performing sitting around the club for a season. How do you maintain an air of professionalism with such a player at odds with the manager and staff. Letting him go out on loan recoups some money (wages) for the club, we will not be getting any monies for him (at the end of his contract) in this scenario, so there is no caveats regarding options to buy.

He wants to leave to better his career, he has been captain in this time and I’m not sure he has downed tools like a lot are accusing him of in here. There are no signs that point to him sitting around for a season when he clearly wants to move on to maximise his short career. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be tempted to leave Youri out of the remaining league games as much as possible. I accepted at the end of last season that he would be gone by Summer 2022 so its time to look ahead. I don't want to seem bitter about his departure when it happens but he is putting it to the test in a big way of late! The next few weeks are ideal to get minutes in to players on the periphery and get them to gel ahead of next season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewquayFox Posted 20 April 2022 Share Posted 20 April 2022 Hopefully we get a fair price for him in the summer as it looks like his time is done with us, shame it’s come to this but his drop in form is shocking, pretty much like his attitude apparently, hero to zero ala Mahrez… 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s played every match going for club and country for 2 or 3 seasons now, including European club football. He’s knackered and needs a break. Honestly, a couple of misplaced passes and not fouling a Newcastle player and now ‘he’s pulling a Mahrez’ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lambert09 Posted 20 April 2022 Share Posted 20 April 2022 i don’t see a lack of effort with youri, just a player woefully out of form. He begs for the ball but just seems to make poor choices at the moment. i actually think belgium broke his confidence at the euros 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoboFox Posted 20 April 2022 Share Posted 20 April 2022 Love these breaking transfer Twitter accounts breaking transfer news that broke about 12 months ago. We all know he's off. The club will know he's off. We rarely - if ever these days - come out of these sort of sagas worse off in the long term. They're very pragmatic. Shit happens. We'll be fine. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
