Miggys First Goal Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 Aye, these days the first solid piece of evidence we’re signing somebody is when they arrive at the training ground for the medical. Everything before that now is just clickbait rumours. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nine Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 (edited) Out of those 4 Tielemans is the most likely for this window, knows the PL and would slot right into our side without having to be eased in for long. The questions are how is he mentally? Personally? I think it’s unlikely they sell as his contract is up in the summer, wouldn’t be suprised if the player wants to wait and secure himself a better signing on fee than he would now if a transfer fee was involved. I can’t see us signing a starting 11 player from outside the PL this window. Edited January 18, 2023 by Nine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, I'm pretty convinced Tielemans and his agent have decided to wait till the Summer to get a huge signing on payday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liverpool would surely be in for him, with their aging midfield and the fact he’s on a free to go with the notion they can’t compete financially with transfer fees.

The Prophet Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 There was a clip doing the rounds of Tielemans absolutely blowing out of his arse trying to track back v Forest. He's a top player and could be excellent as one of our number eights, but I don't see him as a six (or a four if you prefer) going forward. I guess it depends what we're looking for. He's still be a great option at a knock down price. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dokko Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 Both Chelsea and spuds don't want him anymore so now Everton are frantically trying to find a buyer. Id take him for a swap of Fraser & Wood. That would be it though. No direct cash for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 (edited) Does Tielemans do well in pressing and defensive stats? I can't see us signing anyone who doesn't.

He's still be a great option at a knock down price. Id see him as one of the front 2 in a 4-3-3 midfield as well, physically he’s probably not there to sit behind as the 4 or 6 but he has enough to actively press and come wide to provide cover for the full backs/forwards when needed. I’m not sure how well he fits into a 4-2-3-1 though which to me might be the favoured formation we go to long term. He’d be useful in place of Longstaff/Willock especially though, not saying that he’d definitely perform better than either of those in our system but he’d be a great option.

The Prophet Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 Aye, based on reporting it sounds like we can expect a full back and a midfielder by the end of the window. I found it interesting that during his interview with Sky, Ashworth said that we already know what we want to do in the summer. I wonder if we're seeing if it's possible to bring any of that forward.
