sushimonster85 Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 One caveat I'd also add to Tielemans. He may be deliberately waiting out his contract. If he is available on a free in the Summer it likely means a big signing on bonus for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, it's more that I think Kone would be a better fit for us and has a higher ceiling, same for Thuram. The trap you are falling into here is the presumption that Tielemans would end our want for more midfielders. This isn't MAs NUFC anymore. Reckon he would be Shelveys long term replacement. We would still very much in the market for someone further up the field. 15m would be incredibly smart business and virtually risk free. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with this, I can’t see Tielemans accepting a move in Jan, when he can get a mega signing on fee and slightly higher wages if he waits till the summer.

STM Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 Not EVERY player is entirely focused on money mind. I suspect some of his previous suitors have disappeared. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite useful when you are about to start playing 2 games a week. I thought Maddison was a number 10, no idea he could play in midfield of a 3. We'll see, nice problems to have.

Nucasol Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 Think Tielemans and injured Maddison are a smokescreen for the real business being done by Ashworth. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stal Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 Is he legit injured? I had a sneaking suspicion that he wasn't playing so he didn't get injured for a January move. To us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 (edited) i am a bit sus of Tielemans but he has scored some crazy goals and been huge in past so will trust in our team if that is true (not sure it is, and not sure leicester would entertain strengthening us so much) but say it happens it does give us some exciting options so against a team we should beat we can field (assuming we keep with 4-3-3 which is fine by me) ASM Wilson/Isak Miggy Maddison Tielemans Bruno or Maddison Wilson/Isak Miggy Bruno Joelinton Tielemans against a difficult team we need to do some containing Big Joe Wilson/Isak Miggy Maddison Tielemans Bruno Suddenly there are a lot of options basically would be exciting, equally if Isak is an option on right as well gives us chance to rotate out Miggy but that assumes Isak ever isn't injured Edited December 30, 2022 by Tiresias Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gawalls Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 1 hour ago, sushimonster85 said: With his contract being up in the Summer I honestly don't see how it can be more than £15m at the absolute most. Wouldn't be shocked if it were £10m. It's that or he walks for nothing in the Summer. I honestly don’t think Leicester will sell - they played hard ball with Maddison and tielemans last window and kept them. With this window being harder to replace them and Leicester somewhat struggling I think they’ll keep them and take the financial hit to ensure staying up and a higher league finish.

I don’t - people know he’s a class act, wanted to go in the summer and is essentially counting the days now for a move. Still think this has arsenal in the summer written all over it.

Dokko Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 (edited) Tielemans is a perfect replacement for Shelvey. He's younger, fitter, faster, better all round player and less of a liability. If you can get him for £20m or so it would be a great move. He is playing like he wants out, which is obviously what he wants, but Shelvey played like a total cunt before Howe arrived, the starting base is hugely different.

Guest Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 If we look something like this after Jan 31st I will be extremely happy: GK - Pope/Darlow/Karius RB - Trippier/Ashby RCB - Schar/Lascelles (address in summer) LCB - Botman/Burn LB - Targett/Lewis (BDB here forever) DM - Shelvey/Tielemans (Bruno & Tielemans maybe switched) RCM - Bruno/Longstaff LCM - Joelinton/Willock/Anderson LW - Maxi/Thuram ST - Isak/Wilson/Wood (Isak, like a new signing) RW - Almiron/Murphy (address in summer with Murphy leaving pls) To go/leave out: Fraser, Ritchie, Dummett, Gillespie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel like Howe will want a better out and out LB long term. Only knock against us I can really think of at the moment is (with ASM not playing) teams know to expect 90% of our danger to come from the right hand side with Miggy and Trippier.

Mazzy Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 If Leicester are going to achieve nothing this season (looking likely) then Tielemans may well look at a move in January being better than waiting till the summer. He'll get more chance of winning games and finishing higher up the table with us than he will with Leicester. Maybe he wants to wait it out till the Summer but do Leicester want him to wait it out till the summer, they do still have some say about this. If they accept an offer from anyone for him that could easily sway him into moving now rather than waiting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 I have a feeling that there's more chance we'll sign Maximo Perrone than Tielemans. I just get the feeling Tielemans is running down his contract and will then move to the club of his choice, which might not necessarily be us. Perrone rumours have been rumbling for a while now, he seems to fit our bill of buying young up and coming stars, and maybe he will suit our pressing style more. Although if Eddie wants Tielemans then he obviously thinks he can do all that as well. Although we don't actually know that we are definitely looking at Tielemans at this point, it's all conjecture.
