foxfanazer Posted 7 June 2017 Share Posted 7 June 2017 I think it's best for a fresh start for all parties. Been a cracking player for us but a half arsed Mahrez is not what we need. Can see Arsenal missing out on their top targets and panic buying Riyad for £40m plus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desertfox2 Posted 7 June 2017 Share Posted 7 June 2017 21 hours ago, Col city fan said: Some great points in here and a lot of it makes sense. My opinion is that it's very difficult for a player who has publically stated he wants to leave a club to then remain at that club with the same feeling as they had before. Especially if there's been no indication that he's being forced out. If a player is not wanted, and wants to leave, that's a completely different matter. In this case, Mahrez is not being hounded out at all, yet still states he wants to go. Personally, if he doesn't now leave, it will be strange to be singing his name, knowing that he actually doesn't want to be here. However, football fans are typically very fickle, so if he scored a couple of early goals, all would be forgotten I guess. I think the best outcome would be a realistic transfer fee, and for him to leave the club. Realistic in my eyes would be around 30 mill. Fair point but as soon as he went on a run and scored a worldie everything would likely be forgiven, it's football and he has the title winning season on his side. As long as he went public and said he wants to stay. Gerrard almost going to Chelsea and Rooney for Man utd spring to mind. In Gerrards case Liverpool fans were burning his shirt in the street. Announces he wants to stay and all was forgiven. Would need to show a good work ethic though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rgc1967 Posted 7 June 2017 Share Posted 7 June 2017 IMO as soon as he released the statement he fuched up. Best of kept quiet publicly, told the club of his intentions and waited to see what happens if no offers for him came in then none of us would of been any the wiser. As it stands everyone knows what he wants. Therefore if a reasonable offer came in (35-40m) we (unfortunately) have got to get rid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought Riyad was ok second half, played a fair few decent balls that could have been assists but didn't take on any shots himself. Slim was terrible throughout, sadly. He actually seems better playing for us than for Algeria. Yeah I asked myself less than halfway through why I was watching that game. Riyad was alright second half, but when he was subbed off Algeria gained new life and scored. That scares me. As for Slimani, I honestly think we have a bit to do with his woes. He was a bit stunted by Leicester's problems with formation and player pecking order this season. If you recall, he was playing great when we first signed him, but it was downhill from that.

If we knew we weren't going to be with Mahrez next season (which for me right now is about 50/50) then we would plan for it anyway. Obviously the team wouldn't rely on Gray as much as Mahrez, but it wouldn't be the end of the world. Especially if we strengthen other positions (LM, CB, LB, RB, CAM).

fuchsntf Posted 7 June 2017 Share Posted 7 June 2017 I dont understand, the idea, any thought, on why any fan, wouldnt want Mahrez....If he found himself staying... Lets forget stupid nonsensical attitudes. The guy a proffesional footballer, after playing for us for a few seasons, enticed probably with Knockhaerdt presence. Gets up and honestly says for him its time , he would like to chance his arm or, trying his arm at a bigger more successfull club.Isnt that his right, even his duty !!! He wants to see if he can do it regularly at an higher level. He hasnt spat at us, he hasnt turned his back on his career achievements and success at Leicester. Why Harbour any bad thoughts, even at times spiteful. I am no parson myself...but why. I can only wish him luck.. Hes done us proud.....If he stays we win, if he goes we win....If we only have naggers on this forum we lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. A club like Chelsea don't need one of their players to choose their transfer targets. I'm sure the staff at Chelsea know what Mahrez is all about, after all, he has torn them a new one on occasions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley Posted 8 June 2017 Share Posted 8 June 2017 I would still have him for us like I said possibly this or another thread. Sit him down, tell him players like Glyfi are coming in maybe go back in for Adrian Silva.. With him asking us to lower his valuation that tells me one thing. One club interested.. and they can't afford him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't think it would be necessary, plus I don't think Kante would be the type. I could be totally wrong however. Where do you think he'll end up?

Even this forum is split....He didnt have a great season, but IMHO he wasnt as poor over the season as some on FT Will have it. Too many really going OTT about his defensive duties. So I will take nearly 2 seasons of good to great football, against Half a Split season of below avg form, still scoring 10 goals. He was one of the top 3 players that decided our PL title,...he did us proud. So lets agree to disagree, because I wont play tit for tat. Oh...We are Leicester not Manu..you cant undo the title...too too far below the belt!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deals take time. - The "they are a real club" exchange with Slimani was about the facilities at Man City, not about Chelsea .. - In summary, he says: he won a lot of things with Leicester and it is time for him to move on.
