All teams are made up of players that have played elsewhere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Um because you think Emery has just signed a a rubbish player so how can you trust him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 I wonder if he was shown around the Belfry first before signing. It would have been tee for the tielemans. Ahem. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really, he's hit the nail on the head from their perspective. They have achieved the impossible dream and then plummeted to the lowest point within such a short timeline.The tragic ending with their owner being the start of the demise. I feel for them as a football fan, for someone to win someone has to lose......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrumpyFox Posted June 10, 2023 Visiting Supporter Share Posted June 10, 2023 26 minutes ago, gwi1890 said: Leicester fans are rattled here’s a post on their forum Love this. Who the fck do they think they are? I'm swimming against the current with the bitterness on here against Youri. But imo Villa have fluked getting a potentially top class player who's way beyond their level. This is what Villa always do. Always have. Steve Staunton or Julian Joachim or Lloyd McGrath or Peter Schmeichel or now Buendia and Youri. They wait like vultures for players who make their name elsewhere and opportunistically pick them up. Rancid club. I don’t know why our fans would be annoyed….. I mean, we allowed ourselves to go down so what can we say? We offered him a massive contract that he just ran down, and we got no offers for him whilst he still had time on his contract. On a free he’s a good signing for you, but he might not even get into your team regularly. Knowing how he plays, and from an outsider your midfield seems fairly strong already… so it will be interesting to see how he fairs. Meanwhile we can start getting excited about Tom Cairney…………… 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

macandally Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 1 hour ago, KMitch said: If he is a sub, we're paying him A LOT of money in wages to sit on the bench... He was on £120k/week at Leicester and I'd imagine we're paying him more to bring him to Villa Park. Our 5 highest earners are now Kamara, Digne, Coutinho, Tielemans, and Diego Carlos, 4/5 players not in our starting 11. We could play 56 games next season, rotation will be key. This “subs” stuff is just outdated, everyone will get minutes. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will be a valuable part of the squad if Emery can get the best out of him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSvillain Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 Apologies if this has been posted already but an interesting watch... Seems to indicate this season he's been playing as more of a 6 rather than an 8 so could explain why he's been poor (sounds very similar to Dougie) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post M_Afro Posted June 10, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted June 10, 2023 An amazing signing. He’s a really good player. If we’d signed him for £40m last summer we’d all have been ecstatic. Getting him on a free now is quite unbelievable. Kudos to Unai and NSWE. He really is a good all round midfielder. He can do all of it. I wouldn’t be at all surprised if he was our POTS next year. Unai will have him flying. A few more players of his quality coming in and we will be well set. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 1 hour ago, Villan_of_oz said: I'm slightly unsure about this, not because I don't think he is a good player because he definitely is but unsure because of how poor Leicester were and how little fight that tram seemed to have. However my feelings are overuled by the simple mantra I follow.... In Unai, I trust Welcome Youri, you are now a Villan! The magic Emery has worked with McGinn and Watkins, among others suggests that he will get Tielemans back to his best in no time. This is a very shrewd signing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 The freebie also means we can splash more money on other players now. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marka Ragnos Posted June 10, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted June 10, 2023 (edited) I'm happy about this signing ... but a question for those more familiar with Leicester. What do you think, tactically, our squad -- with our gaffer -- will offer him that he wouldn't have found at Leicester? Not a rhetorical question. Genuinely interested in what Tielemans might discover in himself and what we might be able to unlock at Villa in 2023 that simply would not have been on offer at Leicester last year.

Fees are only half the story. In a free normally a big signing on and crazy wages. Nothing is free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
