Not sure I can believe this. Doesn’t seem like our sort of target, and as good as we’ve been this season, are we really capable of attracting players of his calibre?

I guess Tielemans was extremely highly rated and we got him.

Where is he these days anyway?

Maddison replacement

YH - I don't, but I think other places do.

Mike - If there's any truth in it, it's more likely to me that he'd be eyed up as a winger in a 4-3-3.

Sounds unbelievable (see also: 12 points ahead of United and Spurs, Tielemans, Rodgers, Praet, Perez, new training ground, ground expansion, Premier League title etc etc. What on earth happened to the good old days of struggling in the Championship - where did it all go wrong?).

and Praet considering going back to Italy 😮

He's on around £270k a week, seems highly unlikely.
