Youri Tielemans

[Mister E]

Premier League team of the season vote includes Emi, Rogers and Watkins. Sadly - and inexplicably - Tielemans is excluded. He has been immense and has been wrongly overlooked.

[Tuscans]

🚨 NEW: Youri Tielemans is likely to be offered improved terms to reflect his importance to Aston Villa. Tyrone Mings is also expected to hold talks over an extension.

As a freebie, Youri's wages must be up there already. Surprised with Mings though. I would love him to stay but just don't see much game time for him.

Tanswell said recently that Emery absolutely saw Mings and Torres together though. Maybe there's a preseason together in some new system that he has in mind.

Unless we structured it with a huge signing on bonus so we could keep the salary down.

I think that as long as he's happy to accept an ever-decreasing playing time role and the salary that goes with it then he's probably worth keeping hold of for a long while yet.

The Joel Ward at Palace / Lewis Dunk at Brighton / Johnny Evans at Man Utd role. Ideally not playing more than a dozen matches per season if everyone else is fit, but dependable when called upon and adding far more to the club than just what they do on the pitch.

It's not like his style of play is going to see him get worse as he gets older.

Plus if the Emi leaving rumours are true, we need to keep as many leaders as possible.

That looks like an Alex McCleish attacking line up

Konsa. Bade Mings Torres Hell no

Surely it is Konsa, Torres, Mings in a back three with Maatsen wing-backing on the left and Frimpong on the right.

Will send the site into meltdown if that happens.

Yep. Plenty of games to go round and naturally left sided. Also he has off the field interests so he can start to focus on that gradually while being an important leader at the club. And the stats show how much better we are with him in defence. So while we need to do that with Pau we have a solid back up when needed.
