coolhandfox Posted 11 June 2022 Share Posted 11 June 2022 Just now, Sampson said: Football clubs spend millions on analytics because objective stats are incredibly useful. These rating systems aren’t objective stats though, they’re some guys subjective opinion on how to weight stats. A player can have a rating of 9.0 or 4.3 depending on whether someone decides number of dribbles or dribble success % is more important or if attacking or defend stats should be more important to a fullback. These aren’t objective ratings. Ok let forget them then, In the first 12 games his average rating on Foxestalk, was 6.35 if he had carried that on for the rest of the season he would have been 3rd highest rates after Wes and KDH which back up that he was pretty good for the 1/4 quater of the season. Just now, Sampson said: And goal contributions aren’t the be all and end all. Because he was dropped for Barnes then kept changing games when he came into the side. It’s a weird irrelevant argument about Iheanacho anyway, doesn’t really have anything to do with Tielemans. Why did you bring him up in the first place then Just now, Sampson said: And then we have to disagree. I think Tielemans really was pretty poor outside of 2 or 3 matches and no one other than Vardy or Maddison played well in that period. You forgetting Ricardo now then?

If we look at the comparisons of Kante, Tielemans and Mahrez and their contributions to our club, there are varying degrees of games played and means of departure away from our club. Kante- leaving after 1 season was not a problem for me, he had a massive contribution while he was here, after having being left with our offer, the only offer on the table available to him. He came and was instrumental in our greatest triumph. He should have won player of the season and went on to win the league the next season, with another club, and finally received his recognition. I can only feel pride for those achievements. Youri Tielemans - A couple of years of good and sometimes exceptional service, but has contrived a situation that has become chaotic and demands a resolution. It engendered a toxic atmosphere at his last club, and he has now sought to repeat the process all over again. We need a decision right now regarding his intentions, and the club needs to press him for an answer. Mahrez- We won the League with him, but unlike Kante, I have little to no affection for Mahrez. His desperation to get out of the club and the lengths he went trough to make it happen was unprofessional and crass. He is always going to be part of the team that won the league, we cannot consign his name to the trash bin, but I would not want him to come back here, not any time soon. I’m sorry but you’re filling in blanks with what you want to believe. Youri Tielemans was a very young midfielder on a Monaco side that was completely gutted of their top talent and he played in an awkward double-pivot role under Jardim that didn’t really suit him. All young players are going to have setbacks and growing pains, he had some of his at Monaco. Youri’s not out there creating a toxic atmosphere wherever he goes, he’s consistently described as a model professional. Yes, he had a poor season but, as many have said here, so did a bunch of his teammates. I was just as frustrated as everyone else. He has more miles on his legs than nearly every footballer of his age and I think he needs a bit of a rest. So he didn’t sign a new deal with two years on his contract and didn’t really want to discuss it during the season. So what? We’ll sort it out this window. And if nobody’s willing to pay for him now, then he knows he better damn well deliver next season. Edited 11 June 2022 by The_77 Grammar 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He form only really went down hill after his injury and the switch to 4-3-3 which doesn't suit him due to his lack of mobility You’ve clearly been watching a different player to what I’ve seen this season gone.

Then again, it is FT we’re talking about Totally agree Col. One of the most technically gifted players to ever play for us. We'll miss him when Rodgers replaces him with some no mark from Southampton It's pretty disgusting to see the way some of our fans speak about him to be honest. He scored the winning goal in an FA cup final ffs! The kid has been class. It's such double standards as well as they're probably the same people that insist we suck off Mahrez despite him disrespecting the club far more than Youri ever has Edited 12 June 2022 by foxfanazer 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmyC74 Posted 12 June 2022 Share Posted 12 June 2022 One positive with the Youri situation is the World Cup in November. If we don’t get an offer worth market value - say £30m minimum- and we decide to keep him for his final year he will be motivated to play and perform (at least up until the event). I still think he will go this Summer but not disastrous if he sees out his contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is my take on Youri, when we play well, he plays well If we’re poor he generally goes hiding. I also think it doesn’t suit him the way we play especially against low block sides, he’s lack of pace is his downfall, I would much prefer player like him that is quicker.

In 2017 Monaco paid £22.5m for him and we paid £40.50m in 2019. To move this on quicker and as we are going to make a big loss on this, I would take the Monaco amount. It will be better to get players in now rather than kicking this can down the street. If the new player struggles this next coming season, he should be right on top of his game for the following campaign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

messerschmitt Posted 12 June 2022 Share Posted 12 June 2022 To be honest even at 30 million he would be a bargain for Man U or Tottenham. A 25 year old regular international at Belgium and proven at Premier league level and already settled in the UK. Would he improve Man U or Spurs Midfield, almost certainly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lambert09 Posted 12 June 2022 Share Posted 12 June 2022 (edited) The one thing that must play on youris mind… if he stays with us, has a good start to the campaign and Belgium win the world cup…. he’ll have just about every elite club coming for him on a free. It would make more sense than signing for Arsenal now🤷♂️ It would be bad for us, but if he backs himself he could get all the rewards. even if he has a similar tournament as the euros, he still ends up again probably to a club like arsenal anyway, as for free someone will take a punt.

Cant see this one going full ryan fraser Yes, I think if I was Youri, this would be how I’d look at it. As long as he stays fit, he makes the Belgium squad as he’s a nailed in starter for us, unless Rodgers sends him to play with the kids for not signing for a new team or a new contract. He can negotiate a contract with the likes of Barcelona, PSG, Juventus, Milan, Madrid or Bayern at that stage. It’s a much more tempting offer than playing for Arsenal or Tottenham. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
