Between all those Fabrizio Tielemans tweets and the one from Dorsett, it suggests that there's definitely work going on behind the scenes, just that we probably won't ever know what. Totally agree with this. City have cut out so much of the rumour mill over the last 2-3 years. I remember when the transfer feed on here was chaotic sometimes and quite often as well. Its nice to know as a city fan but it makes it quite boring too 😴 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just can't imagine us going into pre-season with a completely unchanged 21/22 squad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taupe Posted 19 June 2022 Share Posted 19 June 2022 A lot can happen in 10 days, but I wouldn't hold you breath on anything. With players being involved in internationals and then wanting some time off, I can easily see little happening in the short term, preseason or no. Teams don't really settle until a few games into the season anyway. Reading between the few lines we have re Youri, I think there's an answer of some kind not far away. He'll certainly know if there's any legit interest in him, if there's something that interests him - and there's probably not many moves that fall into that category. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seems happy enough at Leicester; his agent, however, looks desperate to manifest a deal with Arsenal. Youri knows the offer is on the table from us and he’s been consistent in saying he wanted to see what the summer holds in store. I wouldn’t be surprised if his agent has been blowing smoke up his ass. If Youri were Arsenal’s top priority, as the agent-friendly accounts continue to insist, Arsenal certainly ain’t acting like it. If it comes down to it and he stays next season, his contract can’t give us a repeat of season’s chatter: aone-year extension would give us the same headaches. And Youri needs to return refreshed and motivated to make waves with us. Looks like Arsenal want him on the cheap. If they won't stump up and he won't sign a new contract we should bench him and leave his World Cup place in the balance. On last season's performance we won't be missing much. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ask yourself where the stories are coming from. We don’t know what Arsenal want yet; we know what Youri’s agent wants. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lambert09 Posted 19 June 2022 Share Posted 19 June 2022 fab has fallen into the trap of thinking he has to constantly tweet. He obviously just fills the gaps far too often as was evident with our lb situation last year. I don’t think he has a good source with our club just agents who tend to have things to gain from him 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarriedaLeicesterGirl Posted 19 June 2022 Share Posted 19 June 2022 3 hours ago, sm1 said: Youri and his agent have got to face the facts. He's an afterthought for most top clubs, who'll put in a cheeky 20-25M offer if other targets dont materialise. One thing about Youri: He’s not an idiot. He signed a 4-year deal instead of a 5-year one to give himself the upper hand in negotiations. He knows he dropped of last year, lowering his stock. If Arsenal drop the chase, it puts him in an awkward position once he's due at training camp... I think last season put a lot of "elite" clubs off: He gave up -- personally, 100 percent his fault -- a lot of goals. You can't do that at elite level. A 25 million "cheeky bid" is 25 million that the "big clubs" might use elsewhere. I still think he's gone this summer, but will be less surprised if he stays now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leicester City midfielder Tielemans has been one of the club’s key targets during the transfer window and had been expected to join for around £25 million ($30.5m). But GOAL has been told that the Gunners have taken a step back in their pursuit of the 25-year-old while they focus on completing other deals this summer, including that of long-term target Jesus.

turlo Posted 20 June 2022 Share Posted 20 June 2022 (edited) If there's no other interest in Youri, Arsenal are just focussing on other signings first know they can come back in for him towards the end of the window.

We're going to get completely f.cked over. Find it hard to believe absolutely nobody else is in for him at the price quoted everywhere (25m). I suspect something else is the issue (price is higher than reported OR Youri isn't convinced by Arsenal but other teams are waiting to see before coming in with interest so as to not drive the price up). That said, if they are the only interested club and they do sit back, our window is going to be a nightmare if we're relying on sales to make signings.

Dames Posted 20 June 2022 Share Posted 20 June 2022 Just shows how one bad season can really change things. I also suspect Youri isnt that convinced by Arsenal either hence the ‘cooling’ of interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
