MPH Posted 18 August 2016 Share Posted 18 August 2016 1 hour ago, Col city fan said: Let's hope he starts showing his form quickly. I think this team looks really really short of playmakers. If Mahrez form remains as pants as this, I can't see where the chances are going to come from. I think now that the whole contract situation is sorted he will focus a lot more. I also think it's a bit of extra spice that the game is against Arsenal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Col city fan Posted 19 August 2016 Share Posted 19 August 2016 Another 100k per week player (alleged). I ask again (to those who are bemoaning big wages, team morale etc)....worth it? Personally, I think Drinkwater is worth every bit as much as Mahrez, in terms of his value to this team. And we were always going to have to do this.....it's the 'price' of success in the modern game. The only surprise for me is that Vardy is 'only' on 80k...

We do not have another player who can do, what DD does in the middle. It is quite obvious however, that DD needs help defensively as King vs Hull was absent again.

Whether they're 'worth' £100k a week is still a matter of opinion though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubt we could get players of their quality for 21 million and then you still have to pay them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with the sentiment but that's an unfair comparison because most or all of any fee we pay would be covered by the sale of these players.

Bluetintedspecs Posted 19 August 2016 Share Posted 19 August 2016 Why are people so obsessed with players wages? Our infrastructure and financial set up and security are poles apart from the dark days. Call me old fashioned but wages are private and it's none of our business, as long as we comply and are sound that's fine! If you want to retain top players there's a price and the club seems damned if they do or don't by some on here. Meltdown if might be going and meltdown if we pay the alleged premium to keep them! I prefer great we've kept them . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically they could have been paid more elsewhere and had substantial bonus payments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mozartfox Posted 19 August 2016 Share Posted 19 August 2016 If These Players establish us in the Premier League, then they worth it from a business perspective. Potentially it is a good deal for both parties and the fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarriedaLeicesterGirl Posted 19 August 2016 Share Posted 19 August 2016 I think this particular window it is important to show everyone on the League, both players and other teams, that the club is serious about being a contender. To do that, you have to keep your stars, and pay them star wages. When the club has regular European football, is contending regularly for titles, then it is easier to play hardball. But this summer, potential new players (including youth signings) need to think they will be rewarded for success. If that means overpaying some of the players in a squad that made history, that's the price you have to pay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
