Wishlist Youri Tielemans

[Stingray 9,441]

He started again in the Anderlecht xi in their second competition match and played a full match. Had a couple of chances - decent game for the 16 year old!

[lucio 5,371]

Do u reckon he will make the world cup squad (assuming he has a good season)

That seems way off ... Such competition and he is just sixteen and 3 months ...

Is this kid rated higher than Charly? He's younger too

I think they 'r different types of footballlers!

[bethos 2]

Are there any youth players rated higher than charly?

[Moros 86]

Yeah like stingray said, playing a few good games as a 16 year old in Belgium doesn't mean you can compete with an almost completely Premier league level squad. However if he progresses I can see him play for the NT in a few years time.

Is his potential higher as that of Charly Musonda? That's hard to say. Charly has the advantage of being around and playing against better youths. I guess Chelsea will have better youth staff and training as well. And indeed they're quite different types of players. Considering Charly's flair (he has that Iniesta flavour) most perhaps would pick him. He's great though and always effective and rather composed as well. If Chelsea would buy him he'd certainly could make it in the starting line up some years later.

There have been no links between Chelsea and him though. Not yet though.

I was under the impression that he was an attacking midfielder,turns out he is a central/box to box midfielder so he is definitely one to keep an eye on for the future.

I don't think Chelsea has a better youth staff or youth training. Anderlecht is top of europe and won lots of youth tournaments the last years (and had lots of great talents coming trough). We don't have a single youth player on our bench or squad in the average game.

Are you seriously comparing Anderlecht to Chelsea or the Belgium league to the Premier League? Anderlecht have the opportunity to play their young players because their league is that bad. Oostende are probably comparable to MK Dons...

I'm comparing international youth tournaments. Even if I was comparing PL and BL (which i don't) chelsea only has got terry in its line up as a youth player, which is quite poor. And If we would compare youth players (which is -21 according to the UEFA) anderlecht has bred the better talent pool in my opinion.

Januzaj and lukaku (which are Anderlecht youth players) would both be on our bench or XI

So would Chalobah, Ake, Omeruo, Van Aanholt, Piazon, Bertrand, Kalas - None of which would be first team players for Chelsea, because our squad is better than Anderlecht and our league is more competative, I'm still struggling to see your point...

euh almost all of those players spend the majority of their developing years 8-15/16 at an other club. Once again my point was anderlechts youth coaches and training is better. I can't even see why this is an issue, ask any scout (see our own piet de visser) who has a better youth system.

Edit: Our bench; chelseas bench.

Where was Anderlecht in the next gen final last year? I saw four teams in the semi finals and one of them was Chelsea. I didnt see any Anderlecht. I think both clubs have really good youth systems and the only way to know would be a match between our youth teams.

Anderlecht did win some of the most prestigious international tournaments. Viareggio & Aegon cup for example. They had to play next gen just a couple days after a grueling 8 game Viareggio tournament. even then they were quite unlucky to lose that game. Their academy is after some heavy investments one of the top in europe since a year or 3.

And so is Chelsea's. Roman has invested a lot into the youth academy since he's come here - difference is though it's a 100 times easier to break through to the Anderlecht first team than Chelsea's (or any top European club), which in turn obviously means talents get a larger scale of opportunity there. Doesn't necessarily mean their youth academy is better than ours.

Players like McEachran and Chalobah would easily start for Anderlecht by now (no disrespect).

Rumours say City are in for him, should cost 6m€..
