Youri Tielemans

[Risso]

I actually thought the atmosphere was fairly decent there in our game this season, until our second went in courtesy of Bert and then they deserted the team in droves. Stoke's the worst one that I've been to.

Yes they made a decent amount of noise.  That drum though...

At least they seemed to get rid of the clackers, the tin pot dickheads.

Only time I went there was for the infamous 3-2, leaving the ground i'd never in a million years have expected the season to go the way it did for both sides.

Reading through that bitter Leicester thread, they've suggested that his contract with us is €5m per annum, which in weird footballer-only terms is about £90k per week.

Which doesn't seem in the least bit unreasonable, considering the sums that players command these days.

It wouldn't surprise me if that's his weekly wage, per his contract.  But I suspect there will also be a significant signing bonus, paid weekly, that takes him comfortably into the six-figures a week range.  The two will be treated separately to ensure we stick to our wage structure.

There’s nothing like relegation to bring you back down to earth. We had the double whammy of relegation and then near bankruptcy and I’d say that’s made our fanbase better. I mean that in terms of being wary of who owns the club and how much it’s spending.
I reckon it’ll have the same affect on Leicester and their support. Losing your better players hurts when there’s absolutely nothing you can do about it.

You're spot on Risso, mate.

My dad is truly the only Leicester fan I truly respect. Even a couple of mates who I've known for over thirty years are massive wankers when it comes to Filbert Fox and his rubbish family.

It says it all to me that my dad would much rather come to Villa Park with me, would rather watch Villa than Leicester, has admitted to me that it doesn't matter what Leicester do, they'll never be anywhere near the size of Villa. His tone of voice suggested resignation that they'll never get anywhere near.

I'm still rejoicing in their relegation

You have a truly lovely sounding dad, i've lived in Leicester for 44 year's and can honestly say i take great pleasure in anything that goes against the fox's, utterly full of themselve's and where they stand in footballing terms, take care sir, both you and you're dad.

Leicester are the QPR of the Midlands.

[Somniloquism]

I know I'm way over the top when it comes to them, but it's been a whole lifetime of having to put up with them and their delusions of grandeur.

I loathed them winning the league. The fact that we went down and were so shit that hear just fanned the flames.

It was my daughter's birthday party at the weekend, and we had quite a few parents over. A fair few of the dads are Leicester fans, and the common opinion amongst all of them was "why has Tielemans gone to a team like Villa?"

Because a team like Villa are playing in front of a packed 42,000 stadium every week, are back in Europe with one of the best managers in world football, have a team full of quality internationals and are going to have a proper crack at the top 4 next season. We're also not going to be "looking forward" to trips to Rotherham and Plymouth on a Tuesday night. That's why, ******!

"Now stop that blarting and enjoy the clowns.... like you did every other weekend last season"

Has he officially signed yet? Haven't seen any shirt-stretching or affirmations on how he has become hopelessly devoted to us.

[Hookeysmith]

There are some direct quotes on line with commenting on why he chose us

Is that the interview in French that was on Twitter earlier? I'm assuming he's away with Belgium atm.

[kippaxvilla2]

‘I chose Villa because I do not have to move house and hate fcukin clapperboard crisp munching cnuts.’  Or words to that effect.

[Somniloquism]

How long before he is back in the Dutch  Belgium squad?
