I think they've put a low bid in knowing we'd reject it so they can say we tried to get mahrez but leicester wanted too much for him.
ozvaldo Posted 7 July 2017 Posted 7 July 2017 He'll be sulking like a dog that's chewed up your sofa.

Funnily enough it's reasons similar to that why Vardy didn't go to Arsenal last year, they liked the release clause price - but really they weren't interested in building their side with him at the helm - he would have been a guy to come off the bench. If I was Riyad i would be getting my apologys ready, that big move is really looking like it never existed - no-one actually in the Champions League wants him as a top target, the only clubs interested are really around Europa League level/or if they can get a "bargain" deal - and he's not going to be a guaranteed starter. This has all got rather silly - and it's a shame because it's left him in no mans land now, shows that it doesn't matter how good you are for one season - scouts aren't daft and can work you out. Really the offers we are getting sadly reflect what sort of player he's become over the last season Exactly and we shouldn't be the ones that take a hit to make it happen. He wanted to leave but his team clearly haven't done their research to see who wants him which has left him looking a bit stupid. Arsenal isn't his dream move surely, so I'm hoping the sulk isn't as big as it would be if it was Barca. You're on £100k p/w, we're looking like doing decent business getting players in and Shakey seems like a forgiving man. Get your head down and show the likes of Barca and PSG that you're a real player. The only problem I see is if he's burned any bridges with current players at the club

The only problem I see is if he's burned any bridges with current players at the club The french/Arsenal thing might sway him more perhaps, but i'm sure his dream move is the BIG BIG clubs - but it also has a smell of "i'm looking for an easier life" to me, perhaps it's just me but that's the impression i get from Arsenal, they are a "big" club but the way they constantly underachieve or justd get the minimum requirements done (almost) every season (4th place) it just doesn't strike me that they've got self-motivation, perhaps Riyad looks at the team there and just thinks he can earn a load more money for doing less, i would hate to think that's what his true mentallity is - but after last season i have to question that now. He looked at times iscolated, like he had pissed off a few of the boys - and looked so checked out that he's damaged his own reputation. Completly agree with you man, I can see those bridges being proper burnt now though if the team spent a year trying to play with him and he was offering nothing back to them. The other players are more important than him now. I like the shout of perhaps getting a player in and perhaps a few add-ons to take it to the 50million, i'm just fairly confident if they were performance related then we wouldn't see them Riyad, you've basically ballsed this up good and proper
Max Power Posted 7 July 2017 Posted 7 July 2017 Arsenal back in with 40m bid for Lemar. If There's Any Justice In The World he'll go there Mahrez will stay.

On the other hand he'll be under a lot more scrutiny there and won't get away with the lacklustre performances for very long. ArsenalFanTv would tear him to shreds
AlloverthefloorYesNdidi Posted 7 July 2017 Posted 7 July 2017 I don't really understand the point of that statement. Statements like that on twitter I can see as having value only in that the player wants to explain his decision to the fans, but this one seems motivated by a will to garner interest, which if it was there would surely have been known by his agent anyway. Seems very desperate and very ill advised, as others have said on here before. Unnecessarily making himself look like a dick and if anything worsening his position in general
Daz93 Posted 7 July 2017 Posted 7 July 2017 2 hours ago, LCFC_Oak said: If he does stay though... Give him a free role in front of a midfield four. 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/ This is exactly what I was thinking. I think we're geared up to play 352 next year. If we lose Mahrez, Iborra can come in. Or we splash the cash on Sigurdsson if Everton can't get him.
TAFKA Castroneves Posted 7 July 2017 Posted 7 July 2017 It's interesting if you compare how Mahrez has handled this summer vs someone like Schmeichel for one example, Kasper's had a bit of interest, still could for all we know (although a chain reaction of keepers moving might have to occur) but unlike Mahrez he's kept it all behind closed doors, there have been agents meeting clubs and etc - but he's never said, i'm looking to leave etc - and it looks like he'll stay, no harm done, no relationships tarnished. I think Riyad should ask Kasper for his agent. Wouldn't surprise me if Riyad's agent now was heading over his house with leaflets about how lovely China can be as a country as a last ditch attempt to get a decent personal payoff

Unnecessarily making himself look like a dick and if anything worsening his position in general The point of the statement is to drum up interest because he knows last year not many teams wanted him. He will be here till deadline day as he clearly isn't the first choice of the type of teams he wants to join.
MikeyT Posted 7 July 2017 Posted 7 July 2017 Kate U @Liveorangejuice Jul 5 We couldn't get Mahrez so we spent the remaining transfer budget on transforming Walcott into Mahrez. Ladies and gentleman,Thiyad Wahrez(с)

Old Fox Posted 7 July 2017 Posted 7 July 2017 Our owners should and I believe will stand firm £50m is the price!! We don't need the money and need to replace him plus ideally they would like him to stay so why give him away - I think they will stand firm!!

That will be a hell of a story if the owners stick with their 50 m price , and ending in anither photo of vichai stretching mahrez s ears or Learning anither character of mahrez telling some words as did edward norton when talking to himself in a mirror in the 25 th Hour movie Hahahahhahaha
leicesterseddon Posted 7 July 2017 Posted 7 July 2017 Going public with it was always a risky move - needlessly risky, in my opinion. As others have pointed out, the basic problem seems to be that his "dream" clubs aren't (yet) interested in him, leaving him with the option of playing for a bigger English club or simply staying put. Let's not kid ourselves - Arsenal would still be an upwards move for him. But is that really where he wants to go? Transfer speculation is annoying/destablising enough, even when players haven't said publicly that they want to leave. My prediction at this stage is that he will end up leaving, because the club will accept an offer below their valuation to get an unhappy player out of the dressing room. But if he went public with the aim of getting it done early, it clearly hasn't worked...
