Why do people keep comparing Leo wanting to leave, with Riyad wanting to leave? The two situations are just different!

You're not wrong.

 

One tried to leave us in the shit on deadline day the other came out on day one saying he wants to be playing regular Champions League football and he deserves it.

Again this bollocks of blaming other people. 

 

I will not miss the Mahrez of last season, not one bit. He was generally lazy and shit.

 

His champions league performances only highlight his bad attitude as he never matched that effort and quality in league matches, even after Ranieri left.

 

The only regular starters who didn't improve after Claudio's sacking were Mahrez and Drinkwater, so the argument that everyone else was playing crap does not stand up at all.

 

I'm not interested unless he's interested and he wasn't last season.

Every flair player is lazy, arrogant, has a bad attitude etc when their ability is nulified by horrendous football with the opposition being able to mark him out of a game with 3/4 players.

 

Funny how he wasn't lazy etc the season before or the one before that or the one before that  despite putting in exactly the same amount of effort.

You are deluded.

 

Watch the title winning Mahrez again.

 

Direct, with a positive intent.

 

The total opposite of last season - timid and if not, over doing things and running up blind alleys - trying to beat 3 or 4 men when it was not necessary.

 

The answer to the latter issue was to pass to his ****ing team mates, but he become far too arrogant and self involved to even do the simplistic things.

 

'Same amount of effort over the three seasons'

 

Even the most partisan Algerians have not been daft enough to claim that! 

 

Check the stats on performance  if you don't believe me.

Was just chatting with a good old mate of mine from Uni who's an Arsenal fan and he reminded me of something (that i'd forgot) i'd said back when we first signed Riyad and he'd started to show he had something about him in the Championship.

 

Apparently I told him, "he's the sort of player Arsenal will be trying to pinch off us in four years time"

[Almo-Fox]

I think that some people forgot one important fact that explain leicester performance after the winning title season 

The 2016/2017 season saw all the 7-9 top teams strengthen with quality players in different positions added to new managers appointed with experience and glory ( Chelsea MU  Everton and M  city and Liverpool ) and their learned how Leicester play and it's   main players ( moins  kante ) Leicester was an open book and ranieri vital mistake not to make vital signings to vital positions so it's a miracle that Leicester  did not get relegated ( thanks to the poor performances from the second half teams ( 11-20 ) 

 

Mahrez is not to blame as we cannot blame musit  Ozil or messi for not defending enough ( mahrez was helping Simpson by backing him and loosing his energy when come to attack )

 

People will come to cold facts after half season iwhen mahrez will leave to roma or to a EPL clubs     So  wait and see

[HoustonFox]

Is the Iheanacho thread locked so the Riyad thread can be longer?  Fix!! 

 

On topic, I keep saying it, I love Riyad.  He just needs to release the ball sooner - the highlights from last season showed so many opportunities where he could have passed it so much sooner.  I even found myself shouting "pass it!" when watching them...  Mrs Hfox was a bit worried about me - I have footy Tourettes 

[Chico1958]

Come on people, ok he's messed up his legacy

 

But the guy is one of the best players we've had at the club.

 

If he stays I would be over the moon but if he leaves then all the best to the guy

 

It's been a pleasure watching him in Blue ( most of the time )

 

Ps: I still think Weller was better though

Ozil and Messi ??? Not sure that's a wise citation in terms of comparison. Ozil is keen to stay at the Arsenal and Messi has just signed a new long term contract at Barca.

I think you are comparing camels and figs ,,, or whatever the Algerian saying is for this.

Bollards.  It was when CR changed the formula that everything went wrong.  Shakespeare went back to the basics that our success was built on and won 6 in a row.

Yeah. I'm not having that other teams figured us out the season just gone. Everyone could see what we were doing during the title win season, it's just that they couldn't handle us.

 

Mahrez was a shadow of his former self last season, and I really don't think he has anyone else to blame.

you  didnt  get  it,  do  you?

Messi and ozil  are playing with top players ( CM, CF or even L/R B)  that can hold the ball and make sense to messi or ozil creativity    , thing that mahrez didint  get in leicester  after kante move 

 

Mahrez said with words and gestures and body language that he cannot play at leicester with the same unchanged team and want to move a top club , so its  his word against every body that blame him and keep explaining/ understang his statement and performance as negative , so its  his word against  their word  so plz save that thought for this coming season as he moves to Roma and every  body will conclude at the end of the season ( not only leicester  fans but the whole football world ) simple as that

I think you'll find that even with Kante we were a counter attacking side not a possession side.  That same 'unchanged' side that had just on the league.

 

Can we get minus rep points on this forum please?

People had figured us out by the start of 2016 - just no one could do anything about it. Bilic and a couple of other managers even said as much at the time. 

 

Last seasons per performances were nothing to do with teams working out how we played.

Exactly. We let teams have the ball, they knew they were going to have it. We defended like beasts for 90mins and used Vardy's pace or Mahrez's magic a few times in between. 

 

I could box Mike Tyson, I know what he's going to do but he's still going to do it. 

[ronnup]

He's irreplaceable for us , if you take into account his potential. That should reflect in his price. So Sigurdson is worth £50 mill for Swansea, we don't need to sell and he's got a massive contract. I'd test him and refuse to sell.

At least Riyad hasn't pulled a Sigurdsson yet, which I appreciate.

I can't see Roma being a 'big' enough club in his eyes, despite CL. His family is settled here and it would take a bigger club to prise him away from England.

The difference being Sigurdsson has people interested in him, Mahrez has no-one interested in him, Mahrez is in no position to "pull a Sigurdsson".

Except for Arsenal and Roma, one of which has placed a bid.

Not aware of any actual bid just paper talk. Being a Roma supporter after ourselves, Roma are looking to be in disarray a bit to me. Having sold Manolas, Rudiger and Salah ,  I don't see Marhez being in a rush to go there. Also, Roma offering 48m has to be a joke!

There's no such thing as 'didn't really try' in the professional game. 

 

Name Riyad's poor games and there will be the same ones as the team were collectively poor. 

So he played to the best of his ability in every game, and he could not have done any more is what you are saying.

 

Which is absolutely not the case.

 

With his talent and ability which is unquestionable, you are doing him a massive disservice. 

 

Everybody in their heart or hearts; whether they are now fed up with Mahrez, or they are one of the ridiculously blind 'defend him at all costs fanatics' who put him before the club in an arguament know he is much, much, better than what we saw in last season's PL.

 

If somebody could be bothered naming the PL games he played well in (this is a much shorter list than you are asking for) that would help someone else with your challenge.

 

If we are citing whole games, as opposed to being shit for 95% of the game and then doing a bit of showboating; I can only say off the top of my head say Man City home he played well - a game where he passed the ball consistantly. I did miss Burnley at home where I'm told he played well.To be fair there maybe others which do not spring to mind but I believe my point stands regardless.

 

Let it be known; if we could get  title winning Mahrez back without the 'baggage' that both last season and his shenanigans this summer no doubt will have caused with his team mates, I would be over the moon.

 

Roll on signing someone so we can change the subject.

[Les-TA-Jon]

Problem we've got is we don't want him to go to a PL rival. But if he goes to a club from the continent we will get far less. 

 

If Walker is worth £45-50m then Mahrez is surely £60m+. But only PL clubs will pay that much. 

 

Looking more and more likely he will stay. Seems like any interested PL clubs are waiting, hoping we will lower our price later in the window. But hopefully we do the opposite to account for the lack of time to replace him.
