I'm quite concerned about his development, he seems to have gone backwards like chilwell, not sure if he'll be good enough

It's also very annoying when I keep hearing different figures of what we offered by Man City. Talksport saying we were offered £65m plus a £30m player today

Do you think that if Riyadh had have kept his gob shut and negotiated with the club only we'd have got his market value? I do, so I think the only person at fault here is Riyad and co.

This may cost the owners in the long run but it shows we are a club that won't be a pushover. The right move for me

How the hell could he argue against a contract he signed to play for the club for 4 years irrelevant of how talented or wanted he'd become.

Surely nothings changed, the players know that Riyad wants away, I'm sure he's not the most appreciated player in the squad by certain players but they're pros and it's their job so I'm sure they'll just move on from it after a clear the air meeting

As someone else has mentioned, this is probably bigger than Mahrez, this sets a president that the owners wont be bullied into letting a player go under their valuation and lets face it, due to the Coutinhio fee if we wanted to buy a replacement for him, their fee would also be inflated. I'm sure Puel and the owners know the player better than we do and made a decision based on that. I'm sure the players were annoyed tonight and I reckon it affected their game which is a real shame but I'm sure it will be smoothed over and Riyad will be back to his best on Saturday

I feel the same way, just stating a fact that if our fans turn on him like Stones at Everton it will force a cut price deal in the summer. I think majority want him gone but hope club works out a way to get the dough we deserve for him

If our fans turn on Riyad, his value will be drop further

was looking forward to watching that

Does anyone else find the Musa debacle absolutely bizarre? You tube videos show goals and past performances and he looked brilliant, surely the scouts saw something, what the hell happened here?

I said on a post that he's not my first choice but should be supported

I think up until what I think was the Fleetwood game, where slimani was pulled Puel didn't know which striker he was keeping. Then came the statement that nacho was staying and now he scores another brace and to add to it looked to link up with Diabate like they've played a season together. Puel looks to be a good man manager, he's also says (from what I've read) he wants to give nacho more game time, he must be thinking he needs to give Nacho so game time in the first 11, so he either plays him with vardy or drops vardy

Why, Puel has given the lad an opportunity and he's shown he has delivered. Why is it a given Vardy starts every prem game when most of the other players get rotated?

Course they're interested, can't see Ashley stumping up the £50m for him though can you?

The best thing to do to keep Vardys agent quiet is to keep Iheanacho and Diabate scoring goals. Whilst vardy seems our only option and he's a sought after player from other clubs he's got every right to maximise his earnings, he'd be stupid not too, this is a World where Sanchez is on £500k a week after all.

the 2 goals he scored today were class, it doesn't matter who they were against. He puts himself in the positions and he finds the corners of the net. He looks a natural finisher and has to be given game time in the first 11 imo

I think he's a really good ball playing defender, he's got a great touch on the ball and lacks no confidence, but he's just so rash.

Everyone of our players deserves full support unless it's clear they're not giving 100%, fair criticism fine if you don't think the players are quite good enough but comments like that about a player that has given so much to the club are disgusting imo

Watched half of that video and he just seems to run with the ball to then lose it

Vardy angling at an improved contract perhaps

If the big teams put in an offer and we want to keep we offer the player a new contract, if they refuse then depending on the offer is whether they stay or go

mahrez replacement?

Scored a great goal, had a big part in creating the third, certainly put a shift in, not bad for a player thats probably quite rusty. Give him a run of games as a striker and then he can be judged, it's taken okazaki at least a season to come into form and he plays the same position

I love slim and have been saying for ages he needs game time, some of our fans think he should be a world beater when he has his chance but when he's had so long out the game he's clearly needs time to gain his sharpness and confidence and then we have a top notch striker
