Absolutely agree with you...he would...we had our chance last season and blew it, the fact we were largely below average last season will have a bigger impact than most people think....

Too right, I don't know whose strategy it was last season, but we missed a massive opportunity to recruit some badass shit

[Wymsey]

Seems very quiet at the moment - regarding this one, Iheanacho and Mahrez.

When you think of the names we were linked with it's really heartbreaking to look at who we actually bought! We could have got Siggy, Silva, Nzonzi, Keane etc! 

[Lambert09]

Out of curiosity, if we had the option of Mahrez staying and not signing siggy or signing siggy and selling Mahrez, which would make us a better team? 

 

Surely theres no doubt that on his day Mahrez is far better than siggy, or most players in the league tbh. 

 

Even though he had a mare of a season I like to think if he settles down and  realises  he needs to play well to get signed by a 'big boy', we'd get quite the season out of Riyad

Depends which Mahrez we got. The POTY Mahrez is a better player... last year's Mahrez wasn't anywhere close to Sigurdsson.

 

Sadly I don't think we'll ever get THAT Mahrez back at City so I'd rather have Siggy now.

I think I'd get sig in and let riyad go, especially if we could get another proven winger in.

Absolutely pal, were now just a mid table, mid country team, competing with others that maybe more attractive

Get those extra seats built fast. One way to speed up the percesption of being bigger, is be bigger!

[foxinsocks]

ambition.... ambition??? I think we're a pl team with a first div recruitment operation.  Lats year it cost claudio... I wonder if shakey is tarting his cv up

When Mahrez is firing on all cylinders, and he wants to do something, he'll do it.

If Mahrez get's his head sorted and knuckles down then Mahrez but after last season, lacklustre performances, he's not reliable is he? Should he stay which Mahrez are we going to get?

 

He should sort his head out and think "right, gotta knuckle down, have a good season to prove myself, put me back in the shop window to get a move next summer...hey, have a good half season get a move in January maybe!" or will he drag his feet, i'd like to think he's honest and it's the first scenario.

 

Now Sigurdsson seems more consistent, hard working.

 

Oh his day Mahrez, without a doubt, but sometimes, last season especially he has more than a few off days.

Keep Mahrez then Sign Boudebouz to play along side him.

[waylander]

Feel it in my water signs in the stars we have him if Everton don't .?

[mozartfox]

He will sign for Everon and we will get the other Ziggy....... Ziggy Stardust.

Footballs about opinions and all that but any City fan that says they'd take Siggy over Mahrez needs their head testing. Not knocking Siggy as I think he's a fantastic footballer but Mahrez is one of a kind and it's been a complete pleasure to see him develop over the years into a truly World class player that in reality we won't see such a talent in a City shirt again anytime soon.

Clearly he had a poor season but who didn't?He set the bar so high in the title season and was so influential that the majority of teams we faced this yr came with a game plan of just stopping him playing by doubling if not tripling up on him which was always going to effect his game. 

After everything Riyad has done for us and the moments of joy each and everyone of us will never forget the negativity I've read about him on here is shocking, totally unloyal & truly embarrassing. 

 

You dont know know what you've got til it's gone...

Your not wrong on many points. BUT his pending exit could have been handled differently.  I think what riles some people on here is, it 'appears' he is expecting LCFC to let him go at a 'knock down' price because of what he has done for us.   I personally have no objection to him moving on, but it must be at terms and at a price that is acceptable to the Club and not to Riyaz Mahrez and his Agent.

 

Add into the mix he went missing for half a season, this may be this explains to you the reason for the negativity from some quarters.  To accuse people on here of not being loyal is a strange one.  Players come and go, but it is how they go that matters for the fans.

OMG. Are... are we West Brom?? 

 

I know WE don't see it that way, but any potential signings are just going to see a team who, for the most part, play 'unattractive' football, have a relative unknown as manager and is a fair whack away from the big cities. 

 

It's a hard sell to anybody looking to make a sideways step.

I sort of agree but we can point to a PL win and CL campaign over the past two years. If the owners can sell their ambition to a prospective signing then there is proof that it isn't pie in the sky as would be the case with all the others outside the traditional top five.

Where does it appear he thinks the club should let him go for a knock down price? Do u actually the believe a player has any say in what price he should be sold at?

There was a report a couple of weeks ago that said he was frustrated with is wanting a high price. 

 

And he might not have a say, but he'll as sure as hell have an opinion.

In some instances - 100% yes.   This is the wrong thread anyway.

This ain't gonna happen ...    I hope we are keeping our Plan B close to our chest and look forward to hearing about it in due course when the deal is done  ...

[spaghettilegs]

Would love to sign him but I think the closest anybody from Leicester will ever get to Gylfi is if someone goes down Freeman's Park and cracks away at Mecca Bingo
