On loan at Bournemouth and likely to sign for then permanently. Not sure what the attraction is about signing him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

majaco Posted 12 March 2022 Share Posted 12 March 2022 When we were flying, Tielemans, like Rodgers, was in high demand. Both have been off form and are not so attractive to tother clubs. They kind of need to prove themselves again. If class is permanent, hopefully both have genuine class. Tielemans dip in form means he is not automatic first choice currently. I think he will come good again. It might be in his best interests to sign a new contract at Leicester. There are few clubs where he would have won a trophy.

He will look at offers in the summer and like I always believed, he will decide to stay. That will be a bad move, as we will probably go overboard to keep him, but with his performances this season and how inconsistent he has been, even in the same game, it will prove to be an ill advised decision in the long run. I can only believe he has no control over his poor passing and inability to drive this team, as it happens too often and you do do not expect, someone with his talents to constantly be so poor in games. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agent hosts signing on fee auction and the Mrs decides where he is goes from St Pancreas, Flight to Milan or straight back to Leicester....... with a new contract and 20 million in his pocket.

When you posted that I thought 'well, he's nothing like Youri and won't be on our radar'. But Rodgers has clearly told Percy that a high energy box to box no.8 is a priority - and no one fits that description better than Gallagher. A 3 of KDH, Gallagher and Ndidi would go a long way to addressing our lack of pace and physicality. I like it! Mendy, Soumare and occasionally Maddison (as an 8, though he's better at 10) would give us good depth and rotation/substitution options. So I'm with you @Lesta2014, if Youri leaves, CG's the man. Small problem then of persuading Chelsea to sell... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not suggesting he's the better player at all but I just don't believe that you should play players merely upon reputation or past glories. Hero worship should not come into it. Tielemans has had ample opportunity for a return to form this season but he simply hasn't taken them and he's a weak link offering little. Mendy, fresh and confident following his return from Afcon has produced consistent performances. His passing is accurate and progressive as opposed to Tielemans who is constantly giving the ball to the opposition. A spell on the bench would serve to rest him if fatigue is part of the problem. If its something more sinister like coasting because his heart isn't in it then he's just going to have a rethink if he wants to play and get himself in the shop window. We certainly wouldn't miss his current limp contributions. Edited 9 April 2022 by volpeazzurro 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingsX Posted 9 April 2022 Share Posted 9 April 2022 A proven, Tielemans-like player is out of contract in June. Brentford have won three of the four matches Eriksen has featured in, with him missing their defeat at Leicester due to testing positive for COVID-19. They were going at a rate of 0.44 points per game in 2022 before he played; since his debut it's been 2.25 points per match in his four appearances. He's not young, he'd have to be coached to defend more ... but he's at his peak and, given his health risk, may have little choice but to sign a contract built on a reasonable base salary plus incentives. If he could stay healthy, he'd do great things for our attack. Too much of a flyer? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone can find a Dr. Spaceman (30 Rock reference) to give you a good bill of health. A tricky heart is a tricky heart.

Bptiger Posted 9 April 2022 Share Posted 9 April 2022 Don’t worry about signing a player to replace YOURI , the way he is playing we could put a 10 year old in and do the same job . I can’t believe how much he had fallen , he’s either just waiting to leave or he doesn’t give a damn anymore because in a year he can walk away and demand a higher salary as the new club won’t pay a fee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sacreblueits442 Posted 9 April 2022 Share Posted 9 April 2022 ....taken from the Monaco site!!! Posted September 19, 2018 Same as Amstram, no matter where he plays, his performances are always average/mediocre. I hope golovin's return will not make him slide lower (and lose balls by missing every pass), but on the bench. As long as he does not put intensity, he has nothing to do as a holder (except when we have absentees obviously like at the moment). He runs even less than Rabiot, a scandal. He absolutely does not move his ass, he doesn't give a damn. And that's the problem with him not the position where he plays.

I've changed a bit now though because he could easily have retired and never played football again. He must be set for life financially so it's his love of the game/wanting to compete at the highest level he can that has got him playing again. If someone really wants to do something and knows the risks then it's up to them. I can't see anyone giving him a long contract, as he won't get insured but a yearly contract with someone will definitely happen at least so why not us.

Just reading their Youri thread, they were exasperated with him in 2018 and it just never seemed to get better. The talk was his position in the team and whether he should be a 6/8 or a #10. The thought was that a 3 in midfield would help him but his lack of work rate, even with players around him doing the hard yards, gave a greater contrast to his lack of efforts out on the pitch. I have posted before that me biggest dissapointment with him was that he has repeated the same scenario to happen here. He is either a very good and calculating businessman or there is something inherent missing from him that he fails to understand the feelings of the people surrounding him. ....Taken from the Monaco thread 25/01/2019: If ever there's an offer of 30 million, I don't see them refusing, especially since you shouldn't dream, and accept not to always make a big gain on everyone. At least, you recover a little more than the starting bet and you limit the damage. I'm sure he doesn't have the right mentality to succeed at a club like ours, he reminds me of Almamy on this point, these guys can be good at a team that rotates every year but if you can't count on them when the team is in a difficult season. Because it's not players who go to the coal, who will put themselves shabby on the ground. Him, we were sold as the future football star but he played in Anderlecht, in a team that dominated his subject every year, I don't blame the leaders too much to have bought it because its personality was difficult to define, beyond its simple potential player. I think they were fooled by the fact that he was captain despite his young age. However, since he has been with us, we no longer see a player who is hiding, who is running away from his responsibilities, I don't see him exploding in intermediate teams when he can be good in dominant teams. Frankly, it must be sold before its value drops dizzily and the English clubs are the obvious pigeons. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
