Youri Tielemans

[Risso]

Best midfielder at the club .

Probably on current form he is. Luiz hasn't looked right for weeks. McGinn had a good game last night though.

I think Luiz is the best all round, but you could make a case for Kamara or McGinn. I really like Youri, and think he’s a vital part of the midfield. But he’s slightly lower than the rest for me.

He's the best passer of all of them by miles, and I don't think he's below any of them now he's fully Emery'd up.

[KRS]

Wasn’t he captain for Belgium in their recent friendlies? The more leaders we have on the pitch the better.

Beats arguing about who is least shit as we seem to have done for a while!

I think he’s the most dynamic passer, one of the things I love about him is he sees and tries things others don’t. He’s got a very creative mindset. But I actually think on form Doug is best all round passer.

As Drummond says though, it’s nice having a debate around who’s the best in a positive sense, rather than who’s the least bad!

[LeeB]

Yeah, I second that.

Just look at his career and what he's achieved . Class player above Luiz for me and Kamara , McGinn is close .

Hasn't won the Scottish Cup like SJM though.

[LeeB]

He is a player of serious pedigree that we managed to nab for fuck all in a lull in his career.

[nigel]

Nope, but an important player who offers stuff that’s unique to the squad.

Agreed, took his goal very well last night.

I thought very Hourihane esque
Strikes the ball very well

We will be the third club Tielemans has played for in the Champions League - Anderlecht, Monaco, and now Villa.

In fact, his only club he didn't manage to play in it with was Leicester.

He was too polite in the Sky interview with Meatball not to add "Monaco too!" although didn't their fans take against him?

Think it was more that he didn't really fit in when Jardim came back as manager. Jardim didn't really use him, got fired, Thierry Henry came in, played Youri loads, they brought Jardim back and as he wasn't going to use him they sent him straight to Leicester.

Think their fans just saw a promising, young expensive signing not being used and then being moved on, rather than having anything really against him.

[eamonn]

Cheers. I think when he wasn't playing great early on in the season for us there were mumblings from some on here that he was a wrong'un based on apparently "downing tools" at Lesta and Monaco.
