fleckneymike Posted 31 July 2017 Posted 31 July 2017 I'd hazard a guess that all these stories emanate from Mahrez's agent to try and get a bid from Arsenal.

If it drags on he will go to Arsenal on deadline day for £25m and we will be a) a laughing stock and b) screwed! Put your tampon back in, there's no way he goes to Arsenal for £25m.
Foxxed Posted 31 July 2017 Posted 31 July 2017 Someone texted me with the rumour. If we lose our only creative midfielder then Lawrence and a hastily recruited Barnes will be our only links to our strikers. Under these conditions, if Shakespeare has done anything other than deny the move, then it'll be utterly crazy. You don't let your only first team creative player go a week and a half before the start of the season when you've recruited no one.

Yes they may be coming from reliable sources in Italy but I'd take that with a pinch of salt. European clubs are renowned for roping in favours from the media in attempts to unsettle player's in-order to try and force the selling clubs hand. Sadly for Roma times have moved on and with the financial clout that PL clubs have these days, not even smaller clubs in England's top tier can be bullied into letting one of their prized assets go on the cheap. To me this looks like Roma have upped the ante and are reverting to dirty tactics as a last ditch attempt to prise Mahrez away as they know that they can't and won't pay the asking price, yet at the same time don't want their fans thinking that the standing of their club in world football has fallen so far down the pecking order that they're now unable to acquire the services of a player from a club like 'little old Leicester'. Time will tell but realistically I can only see a move to Arsenal being a possibility as his salary is already above Spurs and Levy's pay threshold, and even then I think Arsenal will drop their interest in him immediately if they secure the services of their preferred options assuming they do actually sell one of Sanchez or Ozil. They could if they deemed him worth the value morse so with the income from Thomas Vermaelen, wages Wojciech Szczesny wages , Antonio Rudiger 30m Mohamed Salah 35m Leandro Paredes 20m as well as the expected sale of Kostas Manolas
Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 31 July 2017 Posted 31 July 2017 Riyad Mahrez's agent still watches Soccer AM weekly, but is perennially moaning that "it was better with Lovejoy"

dynamark Posted 31 July 2017 Posted 31 July 2017 Since when did we have striker s .Last time I checked we had a striker.

I will quote you on that, on deadline day, when it happens. The longer this goes on the better it is for other teams as we will just cut losses. Exactly the same thing happened with payet. Mahrez screwed us when he publicly stated he wants to leave.
Ron Combo Posted 31 July 2017 Posted 31 July 2017 5 hours ago, Bevilacqua said: I told you Corriere dello Sport isn't a reliable source... No Italian sports newspaper is reliable; each has its own tribal loyalties. Possibly the worst (and that's going some) is Tuttosport from Turin, a fanzine for Juventus. Sometimes they bother to talk about Torino but they write what the buying public wants to hear. They all have a lot of column inches to fill (especially when there is no football) so it's open house on whatever you feel like writing. And as for AS Roma, a more corrupt, favoured football club that is allowed to operate outside the normal rules.....
Detroit Blues Posted 1 August 2017 Posted 1 August 2017 Assuming the neymar to PSG rumor is real, and Barca can't lure away coutinho, perhaps they might come in for Riyad after all. It's probably just wishful thinking, as the number of teams that might pay us what we want for Riyad are dwindling. Alternatively, maybe all of this whirling transfer activity will show Riyad just how low his stock is. Players are moving clubs at a frantic pace for ridiculous fees, and there's not a club out there that wants to bid real money for him. Maybe he'll come back to us, a more humble/ hungry player. Only one thing is for certain, I'm ready for this saga to be over, no matter the outcome. I can only imagine the players feel the same way.
FireFox Posted 1 August 2017 Posted 1 August 2017 Barca would need someone who can play on the left, regardless of any change in formation for them.

I see what you did there. using cryptic messages to get across that Mahrez will go but we'll make a shock signing of Eden Hazard to replace him. Probably used as a player plus cash offer for Drinkwater.....................
ClaphamFox Posted 1 August 2017 Posted 1 August 2017 Growing irritation in Italy that we haven't capitulated over Mahrez and accepted one of Roma's joke offers... http://sportwitness.co.uk/decisive-days-leicester-city-accused-using-media-help-transfer-games/
ARM1968 Posted 1 August 2017 Posted 1 August 2017 £50 million or fcuk off!! It's not rocket. Same me to you Arsehole Wenger.
Guest BlueBrett Posted 1 August 2017 Posted 1 August 2017 He's 5/2 to stay at City with WillHill. If he's still here at the end of this week and that price is still available I'll be lumping on

Wymsey Posted 1 August 2017 Posted 1 August 2017 He's likely to be in two minds. If Iheanacho comes, he could be tempted to stay. A talented and highly-rated player. But, with Leicester not in the CL this season - Mahrez may well want to go to meet his dreams of regular CL football?
