Couple of things, firstly Ben Jacobs knows absolutely nothing. He’s laughed at by Leicester fans for his bulls*** over the years and seems to be trying to reinvent himself as some transfer guru.
Tielemans is on well over £100k a week, and has a contract on the table for a significant increase. He’s been planning his next move since he signed, which is why he would only take 4 year contract and not a 5 we wanted him to. He knew the power reverted back to him to work himself a move to a big club with European football.
Im not sure plugging away in midtable is really on his agenda for the next few years, neither is signing a long term contact for someone without European football. A couple of years down the line and it would have been a different story, as the investment starts to pay off for you.
