On a free, no doubt decent wages, but that'd be an improvement, I'm sure at the end of the season our midfield options off the bench were dendoncker and Chambers And that's it, be playing alot more games next season & midfield will be rotated at times, you get the Tielemans that won the Premier league & the Tielemans that played in the Champions league this is a very smart bit of business m, if Emery wants him then I'm onboard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's the option of him or Guendouzi, I'm 100% going for Tielemans, and that would even be if they were the same price, on a free it's a no brainer. Tielemans was awful for a team that got relegated. There's no way any of the the teams that finished above us would go near him and neither should we.

QldVilla Posted June 4, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted June 4, 2023 Tielemans is a quality player who’s had a poor season in a poor team. He instantly upgrades our squad in the midfield if he joins. He’s played consistently in Europe and won Cups in England. Leicester being on the decline for the past 18 months just may be the reason why his and others form has been poor. If Emery wants him, I’m not going to argue given his history with these players. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now it just seems a bit meh. He’s had a stinker of a season by all accounts. I have serious doubts not because of this seasons form but because he has played so many minutes for a decade or so in a position that you need legs for. I just have this feeling this season was the start of a drop off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thabucks Posted June 4, 2023 Share Posted June 4, 2023 I can see us going in for Darío Osorio again but loaning him to Vitoria to see how he develops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KAZZAM Posted June 4, 2023 Share Posted June 4, 2023 I'd be pretty happy with Tielemans on a free. Think he be a good midfield option with a high ceiling and good all round stats. Goals from outside the box too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who does he upgrade? McGinn, Douglas Luiz, Kamara, & JJ are all better than him. He's be fighting with Dendoncker for rotation spots, IMO. If Emery wants him, I'll 100% back him to be a success, but I don't think we'll be interested in any of Leicester's players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tayls Posted June 4, 2023 Share Posted June 4, 2023 Goddddddd this is the most boring window everrrrrrr. It’s 4th June… so basically halfway through the month, and we haven’t signed a single player. Guesses on when that first signing will be? 7th July for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
