Doubt Tuchel would want him, he seems to be sticking to 2 in midfield which Tielemans wouldnt really fit in toCould see a Chelski ‘hijack’. Blue **** is hard to predict this window.

I just don't know if he's the right guy. I look at the game tonight, we had not midfield, Xhaka probably the best of the three. Would Tielemans have made a difference? Or would he have fallen into the same trap of crumbling under the pressure. I wouldn't say he's press resistent.
I really don't know what we need, well, De Jong would be ideal but there is no chance. When Partey Xhaka and Ødegaard are on it, they are great, when they are off, we have no control.
Don’t think he would have helped today, if anything might have made things worse as he’s less reliable than Xhaka. We need a greater level of consistency from Partey and Øde (øde needs to get better at finding a way into high pressure games), and a more mobile, technically secure player would probably suit us better than Granit.I just don't know if he's the right guy.

We need someone more mobile. It's clear as day that Areta sees the LCM as someone who is going to be more attacking but still track back to our box and that player needs pace. Xhaka is not equipped to do it, Tielemans is better technically but also not equipped to do it. We need a Paqueta type in that role.
Xhaka was our best midfielder today.Thought he had a good game...but there was one moment in the second half, when Xhaka randomly tried to press their backline and keeper.
Don't know what he was thinking, was like watching Per try and press
I don't understand why Arteta has him making runs in behind the striker. If that's what you want from the role then play someone with pace, technique and end product. He was fine but for the ridiculous dive and putting his hands on the ref. Another day and another ref and that could be a sending off out of absolutely nothing. We just can't have that kind of stupidity when the margins for getting back in the CL are so thin and against better teams, having him bombing up the pitch is going to see us ripped apart on the counter because he has no recovery pace. It's a position that should be upgraded. The whole midfield is still very shaky before we even think about the possibility of availability issues. Someone like Paqueta would be a massive upgrade and security blanket.Thought he had a good game...but there was one moment in the second half, when Xhaka randomly tried to press their backline and keeper.

He was… that said there were a few times yesterday where I could say that if it was Tielemans there instead of Xhaka then Jesus may have scored 1 or 2.Xhaka was our best midfielder today.
Time to get him edu we suffering from dominate anything when Ødegaard hiding and Xhaka focusing more in defending than going forward.
Tielemans might not have alot of fans but adding guy who give you something different is important. We only have Lokonga who offensive minded central midfielder but he still developing
Guess just wanna get him as cheap as possible so we save money for winger.Tielemans would offer anything we are looking for control in the middle of the park. I have no clue what our club is thinking to not go for him already. he could be the missing piece in midfield.
Yep. One moment in particular stood out when Jesus tried to make a diagonal run in behind and Xhaka ignored it and played it sideways. I think we need two midfielders still.He was… that said there were a few times yesterday where I could say that if it was Tielemans there instead of Xhaka then Jesus may have scored 1 or 2.
Jesus was up for give and go on a few occasions where we could have stretched Palace and Xhaka simply just cut inside and played a sideways pass, I don’t see someone like Tielemans doing that.
Even if you don’t want to replace Xhaka with Tielemans could easily replace Ødegaard with Tielemans when Ødegaard is struggling like yesterday.
I get we do have Vieira to do that but it’s doubtful to me that Vieira will be able to offer the impact Tielemans will being so new to the league.
As already mentioned Xhaka took that exact pass in pre-season.Yep. One moment in particular stood out when Jesus tried to make a diagonal run in behind and Xhaka ignored it and played it sideways. I think we need two midfielders still.
The ability to play accurate first time passes with zip from either foot alone creates a big problem for pressing teams that they don’t currently worry about.I just don't know if he's the right guy.
