McCormick Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 (edited) Where is all this talk for Tielemens coming from? Assumed he was off to Arsenal? Edited July 2, 2022 by McCormick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUPERTOON Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 25-30 million for Tielemans would be a brilliant deal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toon25 Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 If he goes for anything under £40 million in this market it'll be a brilliant signing for anyone that gets him. He'll have better options than us imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lazarus Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 Presumably if we do sign him that would rule out Pacqueta? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raconteur Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 Am I the only one who thinks we're not in for Paqueta on account of he's not a natural or specialist in any of the positions we need (ST, RW, CM)? There seems to be a lot of "just play him x" (most often CM) but I just don't see it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lazarus Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 (edited) I just love the fact weve been linked, however remote the posibility is, with a player of his calibre. Also, there was a semi plausible rumour that were gonna sign late in the window. Edited July 2, 2022 by Lazarus Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeletor Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 I'll be properly gutted if Paqueta signs for anyone else. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pata Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 4 hours ago, Skeletor said: The fees we'd get will be negligible so just write it off and release them. We would still have to pay their wages and I see no reason why someone like Hendrick would accept any less than he is owned. Believe anyone with few years left but no future here will be getting loaned out for the rest of the contract with us still having to pay some/most of the wages.

Can't believe it wouldn't have been our first signing this window if we wanted it to happen. That said we have professionals dealing with that type of stuff now that won't prioritize on sentiment.

If we're slotting him back into defensive midfield, Paqueta could take up the second attacking midfield role. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 On transfers is Ben Jacobs reliable? He's the only one reporting Tielemans and the only journo who's particularly optimistic about a Diaby deal. It feels like he's just throwing news out because he knows it's guaranteed engagement.

The price is high, but it depends if he fits our profile. He's only 24 so got lots of room to grow. If we aren't spending on Ekiteke then maybe we could reallocate those funds to strengthen other areas if the opportunity arises. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 Can't see us getting Tielemans, but if we did, that would be arguably a bigger statement than Bruno and Trippier. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotty66 Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 I wonder how we'll act on deadline day. I think a lot of our strategy at the moment is just being patient and seeing what players are available but don't move anywhere. I think if there's a top player available who hasn't managed to get a club sorted we'll spend big on the last day. I still think PIF want that marquee signing. Although trippier could easily have been that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seems to be most effective as a #10, which we haven’t really used. And there’s a case for saying Eddie might change tactics to fit him in, but changing our whole system to accommodate one (excellent) player isn’t something I see Eddie doing (this season anyway).

Although trippier could easily have been that. In some ways I hope there is absolute silence from us on deadline day. Smacks of desperation to be doing deals at the 11th hour. I can see Villa having a big one for example. I can however see why we may be forced into acting on deadline day. If clubs are holding out for more money suddenly realise we aren't taking their horseshit, they could well cave in on the final day. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

At Lyon last season, before Bruno left, he was most regularly used as a wide right forward or a false nine. He seems like a really versatile player and it's more about how he's coached than where he's played as such. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
