notnow john Posted 7 July 2017 Posted 7 July 2017 I'd certainly keep him. But I've got a garage full of bits of string,wire, nuts ,bolts and other crap "cos it might come in handy one day"

This time last year his stock was at its highest.. After his inept performances throughout the whole of last season his value has plummeted.. No one else is even interested in signing him apart from that senile old git Wenger!!.. Take the 35m fast!! So was Hazard the year we won it. Ok, Mahrez isn't anywhere near as proven as Hazard but in this crazy market where above average players go for well over £30 million, having won fcuk all it's fair to demand big dough for Riyad. He has the best first touch in the league, hands down.

We are building a competitive squad and we can only pick 11. Fuchs and Simpson do not get forward enough (but OK for WB cover or starting as CBs), if we were to play wing backs we'd need them to support attacks, IMO Chilly and Albrighton are perfect for that. Drinky was a tough choice, and I may get destroyed for this, but I think he was made to look a bit better than he is with Kante alongside him, last season was a bit of reality check. Again just my opinion.

Riyad was wanted by every club going last summer. He had the world at his feet. He than failed to show up last year and that interest is no more, clubs doubt his ability and value. Many asking, was it a flash in the pan. If he does "a payet" he has basically ****ed it up even more. Riyad needs to either convince Arsenal to up their bid (significantly) or have and absolutely amazing start the season, with us. However if he does, I say we up the value by £10 million each goal he scores.

I'm not saying drop Fuchs completely. Yeah I rate him, I'm just concerned that although going forward he's impressive, his defending is worryingly poor. Also, he's not the quickest or that skilful so he's really got to knuckle down to become the more complete defender. Hopefully he will.

If he sulks and doesn't perform push Iborra up and bring in Drinky. Vardy, Kelechi and Riyad running at your back 4 with chilly and Albrighton supporting on the wings, with Iborra arriving late a bit like Lampard used to.... Vardy Iheanacho Mahrez Chilly Iborra Ndidi Albrighton Wes/. Huth. Maguire Gibson/ Evans/ Looking at this formation reminds me of when I took some acid in my mates garage.

That's not to say he can't or won't 'do a Payet' but he certainly has no 'right'. I've said it a few times, this 'gentlemans agreement'...he does realise it works both ways doesn't he? By not turning up for the majority of last season he didn't hold up his end of the bargain, I just hope the owners have reminded him of that, he only has himself to blame.

Ric Flair Posted 7 July 2017 Posted 7 July 2017 He isn't the first, or the last to publicly say he wants to leave a club. I've no problem with him. The magic that man gave us in 2015-16 you can't quantify in words, love or fcukin emojis. I'd love him to stay and without seeming desperate I'd happily forgive and forget last season and this farce he's caused with announcing he wants out and no fcuker getting him. Stay blue Riyad!

Lesteban Posted 7 July 2017 Posted 7 July 2017 Bolaise cost £30m, we should get considerably more for Mahrez despite last season.

How do we know those haven't been broken with mahrez? He never stated he would never play for the club again... Also stated IF he didn't move he'd be happy to stay ( Obviously ) I just don't get the hate? Sorry...

That'll be the next thing he'll (Mahrez) be claiming is the owners/club have broken promises, he's already played on it abit mentioned the genetlemens agreement in his original statement, which i've already made the point about, the club have 'broken their promises' to him I guess but Mahrez didn't hold up his end of the bargain: 9 minutes ago, Matt said: He has no right whatsoever, he's under contract.

I mentioned this 'hate' thing in a thread the other week, just because someone doesn't agree with something, slags something/someone off with facts doesn't mean it's hate. Where people are getting pissed off which I assume is what you're calling 'hate' is how Mahrez has acted, not turning up for a majority of the season and then demanding a move, he's simple just not handled the situation very well.

WHY ???????????? He's signed a long term contract and we are not desperate for the money ??? well they are Arsenal fans, some are pretty clueless tbh, they could be in the driving seat to get him but they'll bloody crash when they bid something that doesnt come to our value, and some of them forget; hes not first choice for them, Wenger wants to get Thomas Lemar more than Riyad atm

I would rather have Mahrez (however frustrating) over another two signings like the ones above, tbh. He was no use whatsoever last season in the league, in fact he was a handicap. If you could guarantee a big increase in effort and end product, I say he has a part to play. If he didn't pull his finger out, and play for himself again and not the team; and let's face it he cannot be trusted; it would be another disaster. Pandering to him last season; playing him regardless of what he produced was bound to cause unrest, and doing the same again would be unforgivable by the management. The old adage, the Club is bigger than the player fits perfectly to this situation. Everything does not revolve around him. Him staying is a bigger risk more than him going for me.

Matt Posted 7 July 2017 Posted 7 July 2017 Desperate. So what does that change? I don't see what it changes! Just another case of getting in papers, getting his name about and staying relevent when no-one's that keen on taking a chance on him of the back of last season at what we value him at.
