Wishlist Youri Tielemans

[Moros 86]

He did good. But I can see where Mediator is comming from, if we have to start a topic on every promising young player wouldn't we be drifting away from the purpose of this subforum (especially as that whole league seems to be full of young players that are making impressive cases for belonging to the first eleven)? Especially if links with players that don't have good sources are pinpointed as not belonging here, why are topics on random promising players.

It's great people, especially Anderlecht fans, are excited about this little gem. To me it seems these kind of posts would be better in a topic on young talents in the football banter subforum.

I do however agree he seems to be very promising. Probably the most talented lad in the league together with Schrijvers. Also curious as to what Anderlecht youngster Dedoncker will do this year.

Lestienne? He's the best "young player" in league, IMO. I'm surprised that he hasn't latched on with a PL/Bundesliga/la Ligue team yet.

Lestienne is much further developped but I think he's ceiling isn't as high as those other two. Of course we'll have to wait and see if that's actually true. But yes Lestienne is already too good for the Belgian league when looking at his skills, however an extra year to ripe mentally and getting more consistency give him a better chance of starting of well in a stronger league. So it's not a bad decision for him to stay. Also he can have a shot at a title (both with the team and as an idividual) this year, why give that up? Also regular playing time can give him a place on the bench or larger squad in Brazil.

Anyway obviously I was talking also about the young ones, that are only just making their entrance. Otherwise I'd have to put eidur gudjohnsen there as well.

it's not that i'm not interested in this thread, i just said that he is not chelsea material that's all.

He could do wonders for Anderlecht within the next 2 or 3 years, and as belgian i would be happy that local gems stay in belgium, but as an anderlecht supporter as home club, i can tell you that i don't understand why this thread exists?

Dennis Praet is the only one from Anderlecht that is chelsea material into my eyes.

I disagree ... I think Youri is a top talent. The Anderlecht youth coordinator seems to think the same putting him in the same league of talent as Kompany and Lukaku (and Musonda). They probably know more than we do.

I am not saying Chelsea should buy. But it would be daft not to keep an eye on him.

Myself: i am completely hooked on he guy. What a player .... (I am from Lokeren so you know he demolished my home team like a boss).

Anyone who follows the Blegian Youths know he's the real deal. He has the potential to make it in a team like Chelsea, but of course it's not because you have all the potential, that you will make it. I'm surprised he stayed under the radar of the general audience for such a long time. I especially remember him scoring a hattrick (in a 3-2 victory) against Germany with the Belgian U16 and being surprised to hear so little of it.

Considering how much we love Belgians im sure Chelsea will consider signing him some time in the future

[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 5,418]

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.
