Seems like rumours of a cut price deal for Youri Tielemens are flavour of the week.

What do people think?

I for one think he would be an excellent addition to our midfield, hardworking, technically excellent, great strike on him and PL proven. On paper a perfect Pogba replacement.

I would be disappointed however if he comes in at the expense of an out and out CDM.

Hopefully, the budget stretches and we have the resources to identify most or all of the areas on the pitch we are deficient in.

I'm not convinced, he's not got the same level of ability as Pogba, works slightly harder, but has the same propensity to disappear in games.

He has one good game, two average games and one poor one every month. But the good game often gets over egged and people remember that.

I think he's found his level, any side that is aiming to finish between 6th-3rd consistently.

If we are aiming to win the league then we need players good enough to be first choice at City or Liverpool. Tielemans isn't in my opinion and for that reason I think we should look elsewhere.

He is a good player, but we should go out for Bissouma iver Tielemans.

I’m with Shappy on this. Good player - but not better than Pogba - albeit he’s clearly off.

Wonder if Ronnie still visits here? He'd need an industrial size tissue box.

I bet Liverpool would take Tielemans to replace Henderson.

Ports, I'm not sure they would. He doesn't work hard enough for Klopp's midfield.

I think Liverpool would bite Leicester’s hand off. Would love him at Utd, far more consistent than Pogba although they aren’t really the same kind of player.

Came 5th last season for most ground covered Shappy.

MH,

I think given MG's issues there is zero chance of us getting Bissouma.

Found his level Shappy? He’s 24 with potentially 7-8 years left in him.
Do you not think Liverpool or City would snap him up?
He’d walk into our midfield, whether it’s Poch or Ten Haag, I really hope we’re in for him over the summer.

Big fan of Tielemans. I’d take him over Pogba any day of the week. Covers lots of ground, classy passer, and doesn’t come with an agent who’s an enemy of football. For moments of pure magic, you can’t deny that Pogba is a gifted footballer, he’s a luxury we can’t afford though. Been treated poorly by the club as we know, but United have never been his number 1 priority either. I’d probably compare Tielemans to a classier and more refined version of Ander Herrera.

Pogba been treated badly by the club? Have I just read that right! Do me a favour! Been paid obscene amount of money for off the top of my head a dozen top performances! Another player whose taken the mick out of our club and clearly has pulled the wool over some eyes!

{Ed0666's Note - or he’s never had a manager who could get the best out of him at United?

Regarding your point about “we should sign players who would start for Liverpool or Man City” isn’t that the problem Shappy?

You’re buying players based on who you think is good enough rather than whether they fit? Liverpool have signed players to fit a system and a philosophy.

By your measuring-stick, we wouldn’t have signed a relegated Andy Robertson and Gini Wijnaldum, a kid-table winger Mane, a suggested Chelsea reject in Sarah because none of them would have been deemed as good enough to play for the top 2 at the time?!

Forget Liverpool and Man City. Your club needs to put a rigid plan in place, a playing style and philosophy that’s clear for all and then buy players who best fit that philosophy and style.

Just my opinion mate.

Excellent point smplfc. The problem a few of our fanbase have is they want a team they would put together on Fifa.

So Ed are you suggesting we base our manager search on someone who can unlock pogba? After five years of looking for midfielders to help unlock this wonderful talent ( who puts a performance in when he can be bothered) your now suggesting we go and find a manager who can unlock him and then the manager who can unlock him can go and get some midfield partners for him who will also help unlock him! Most over rated footballer in world football!

{Ed0666's Note - what are you talking about stop putting words in my mouth. I didn’t say you should go and get a manager who can get the best out of him or go get players who can play with him.

Tielemans a much better player than what we currently have available. I'd have him over Pogba.

He is the type of player klopp would take an turn him into an animal IMO.

My mum is a better midfielder than those currently at Utd, nevermind Tielemens.

You already have the Fifa team Ports but unfortunately the guys in charge weren't told about the importance of fifa chemistry :)
