allani Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 IF we can get Tielemans back "in the groove" then this could be an excellent signing. I'm slightly worried about alleged commitment issues - but in Emery I trust. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s a very good player 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MachoFantastico Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 We need depth, but I worry about his commitment. He looked so disinterested in Leicester this season, though who knows what was going on in the background given how poor Leicester were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s a very good player Not doubting his ability. But his apparent lack of commitment / disinterest is a concern. Hard to tell from the outside how accurate that view is and (if so) what may have happened behind the scenes to cause it. But if we get the player of 2 years back - it has the potential to be a great signing. If we get the player of 2 months ago - less so. Fingers crossed!

Zhan_Zhuang Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 I must admit being a little indifferent regarding Tielemans, just because of his recent form. Yet it makes so much sense, an experienced body in the midfield. 58 caps for a top national team, five years PL experience. Luiz Kamara McGinn Ramsey Dendoncker Tielemans Iroegbunam Sell Nakamba and Sanson. We have a very good midfield for the season, Cup competitions etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We needed a midfielder given that Sanson and Nakamba were leaving this summer. sssshhhhhhhh don't broadcast that they only cost £17.5m, Tottenham will be on the phone offering us Onamoah + 6 million quid for our entire midfield 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HKP90 Posted June 10, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted June 10, 2023 If Emery called him personally, I'm pretty sure he would have sized up his personality. This will be really good, I can feel it. I'm still a bit hesitant until we see him at VP. It's still at agent stage until he does the pen-paper thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s highly unlikely. Ash signed a one year deal with us at the age of 37 to be a utility player. Tielemans is coming in as a guy in his prime with no shortage of offers. One would have been amongst the lowest earning players in the first team squad, the other will be towards the top. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaVilla Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 just reading the Leicester forum. The general consensus is that he has been poor and not made the effort over the last 1-2 years. However, if we get the Tielemans from prior to that, it would be amazing signing, if we get recent Tielemens, we wont be happy with what we see on the pitch in terms of effort and commitment. I guess we have to trust Emery to get the best out of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was their POTS last year I’m sure I read. so I think it’s just been this year he’s been below par. yep, in Emery we trust Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
