Leicester should've cashed in last summer and he lost his way there in last 18 months but top quality when on form for them. I can remember some ITK last August saying we were interested in him so perhaps this is more club/Lange deal regardless of who the coach is. I actually don't think it would be a bad pickup. Guy with excellent premier league and european experience who can chip in with goals and decent passing and not like he'll just be starting every week if he's playing poorly given how much quality we've got in central midfield now. Different profile but he could be Dendoncker's replacement for all we know. Or just replace Sanson and Nakamba in our general squad given both will be moving on permanently soon. 42 minutes ago, AshVilla said: Tielemans.... why. Not an upgrade on anything we have. I don't care if he's free he's lazy and crap. A complete waste of wages. dont want him another free kamara omly good free if thats the standard were aiming for i will be very dissapointed and shows lange should be moved on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d be happy with Tielemans as comp for that RM/McGinn role. If we got him on a free I’d like us to try for Arda Guler though too. I know Newcastle are sniffing but he’d be a good young player to pick up now before his stock rises further. cant be much of a budget 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted June 4, 2023 Share Posted June 4, 2023 Anyone know how the Turkish lad at Feyenoord is being linked with or what fee they'd demand? From what I've read I think he'd be a good fit for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. I said he upgrades our squad, which he does. Tielemans at his best is still an upgrade on both Ramsey and McGinn, the question is whether he still has his best football in front of him and will Emery make him a better player as with the rest of our squad? Ill leave it to the Manager if this is a target player for the club. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KMitch Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 3 hours ago, tomav84 said: kamara, mcginn and JJ play in different positions. in terms of the '8' role we pretty much just have luiz and dendonker. seen our bench last few games? we need more squad depth We need quality additions to the 1st team, forcing players like Bailey, Buendia, and JJ to the bench to be rotation options/bench players. Tielemans isn't better than anyone in our staring midfield, IMO. He would be a very expensive body for our bench demanding a big sign on fee and wages. You don't move up the table by upgrading your bench, you get better by buying better players for you starting 11 and pushing the former starters to the bench. We've been linked to quality players like this (Guendouzi, Merino, Ugarte, etc.) but Tielemans isn't on the same level. Again, if Emery wants him, I'll back him fully to succeed at Villa, but I don't think Emery will be looking at him or Barnes, or anyone from the relegated sides this summer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozvillafan Posted June 5, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted June 5, 2023 Tielemans reminds me of Hitzlsperger Both can bury a long ranger, but the rest of their game isn't all that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tielemans is incredibly overrated by the neutrals and goes missing most games. Leicester fans call him "the fat kid" because he's put on weight and didn't try at all this season. Pop over to FoxesTalk and see how much he's getting slated by their fans. They're all glad to be rid of him now, but he's somehow better than our best young player since Grealish and our resurgent captain, who has been a gladiator under Emery? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post KMitch Posted June 5, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted June 5, 2023 I think Viega is just out of our reach right now, but it wouldn't surprise me to see Emery try to bend over backwards to convince him to come to the Villa. The kid is the real deal and would be a legitimate challenger for our midfielders to nail down a starting place. We should be trying for players like him instead of trash like Tielemans. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I respect your opinion, but what I have seen of him there’s a player there, the question is whether his time has passed or whether it can be resurrected. Let’s see what happens.
