useless Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 Point being maybe he isn't such an unrealistic signing after all, although of course I've no idea if we actually want him or not. People have been asking for another DM, or a strong eight, Tielemans isn't really that kind of player, he's more of a skill based midfielder, if we feel that we have a problem with other teams walking through our midfield for example, then he wouldn't really be the kind of midfielder that's going to help with that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it’s a cunning plan to sign Tielemans on the cheap, having infiltrated the Leicester forums, then snatching Rogers once the window is closed. Genius pincer movement.

He might not be a powerhouse midfielder that some on here want, but if he can retain possession he'll improve our midfield massively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sulberto21 Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 (edited) There’s only two players from Leicester who I’d like at Villa Ndidi obviously. The other is Albrighton for sentimental value. Imagine him scoring a winner at the Holte End last minute of a game. Epic. Edited August 24, 2022 by Sulberto21 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is true - we do seem to have a defensive fragility and Tielemans probably isnt the answer there. But he probably can help going the other way. At the moment unless teams back off us and give us lots of space we find it pretty much impossible to connect. Defence + Kamara to forward 3/4 players. This isnt something McGinn and Ramsey excel at but Tielemans should be much stronger in this area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
