Pelle Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 He's really come on well here. I have no doubts he will be important to us. The biggest problem now is who you pick as your first choice midfield out of him, Douglas Luiz, Kamara, SJM and Ramsey? I think we'll start with 3 of them in most games, but which 3?

I think this is a great point, after the last few seasons he will probably appreciate some rotation so i'm not too worried about having him, Dougie and Kamara to choose from 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWARLEY2 Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 Such an intelligent footballer. And will not get overrun with Boubs mopping up. . Criminally mismanaged at Leicester. Kind of the same as McGinn and Luiz were with us until Unai took over and got them into the best positions to show their ability . He will get the correct amount of games in the correct position with the correct coaching now. And we will see the very best of him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 I literally cannot believe we did not have more competition for him. Unreal we signed him on a free.

STO Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 Lovely to have players to bring on who will not drop the quality when they enter the pitch. Tielemans is quality. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jbvilla909 Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 Was class last night, his ball to set up Ollie for the goal was perfect, unlucky not to score a trademark banger 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a great problem to have and we have the same problem at centre back. Do the same in the next 2/3 windows across the other positions and you have a squad that can challenge.

Insania We’re really used to talking down the club’s squad building- largely because the grealish money wasn’t used that sensibly overall. But you’re right that central midfield is an area where we’ve got outstanding quality for excellent value in Luiz, Kamara and tielemans. And it’s a credit to the off field staff/scouting given they were signed under three separate managers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villa 59 Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 What a great performance. Looked dangerous every time he touched the ball. Kamara and Tielemans for free. How did we manage that? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's some business! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
