With all the ridiculous money flying round at the moment, it absolutely staggers me that nobody has offered more than £32m for him. 

It's absolutely bizarre

 

His stats are better than Coutinho's over 2 seasons & a £138m bid was turned down for him & he's got the best goals+assists over 2 seasons

 

£45m would have been a bargain in a world where Kyle Walker went for £50m, Coutinho bid turned down & a kid went for £166m - With the prices going around he could have been bought for £50-£70m

 

Staggering. Oh well, our gain

[mozartfox]

At least he has not feind injury like DD did.  He has been badly advised by his knob of an agent. welcome him back with open arms.

Does anyone know Riyad Mahrez's current whereabouts? Looking at potential flight departures to Barcelona from Charles de Gaulle airport?

 I'm sure I've just seen him here in Montenegro!

 I actually think he really likes it here.

Well he had me fooled !! ..

[Wymsey]

Would take £40m and Munir.

If he was more consistent, personally wouldn't take any offer under £50m.

If he rips it up, someone could end up pumping £80m on the bloke... come on Mahrez son, prove a point.

He really could.

 

If last season he had a similar season to 2015/16 we'd be talking about £200m for Mahrez.

Yeah but Coutinho has looked good for Liverpool since he joined. That's three/four/five seasons.

 

Mahrez messed up last season really. If he'd had looked interested/played well then perhaps there might be more interest. Nobody is going to pay £50mill on the back of one superb season.

Suspect he told them a deal was definately going to happen when that wasn't the case

Him or his agent ??

 

cannot understand why the Algerian FA wouldn't ask our permission for him to be available for transfer negs???

No, they pay £166m for that

 

Mahrez isn't as bad as made out last season, the team were collectively awful - He just didn't hit the heights as the season before. Would you say the same about Hazard

 

He's showing this season he's the real deal with 3 assists again already

Either or tbh, pretty obvious his agents had a complete mare with this

 

He wouldn't have been able to leave the Algeria camp unless he was 100% certain something was going to happen yesterday

 

You can say Silva wouldn't have been able to do it either but I think the Drinkwater to Chelsea deal was pretty nailed on even before yesterday

Yes they were collectively awful but if you're a supposed "world class" player then there's games you win single handed - look at Gerrard as an example, he carried Liverpool at times.

 

Hazard has been superb since he joined Chelsea. One bad season out of five or six. Mahrez has had one superb season, it's not comparable to Hazard.

 

And yeah, he has started the season well. I posted about it the other day in the artist thread. I've been impressed with him so far. Of course I like Mahrez and I think he's a good player, don't get me wrong, but there's a reason why nobody will pay £50mill.

And what good does that do?

 

The team needs him, he didn't refuse to play, he already got humbled by what happened the least 3 days, no need to humiliate the man, that's just asking for trouble!

The environment in here is really toxic, and I am sad for Mahrez to have to live with it any longer!

This crowd is rude ( with some exceptions of course), and does not deserve his talent nor his status of the Best Player of the Year. They compare his last season to Coutinho's or Hazard's!!! If at least they had the dignity and courage to acknowledge that the whole squad is a Championship level squad at best (with 1/2 exceptions), plus all the pressure and burden he had to handle to create the game while being asked to drop back to help a shameful porous back and mid- defense. 

 
I only wish for Riyad to keep up with his art and class till January, and move on from this place! Time will tell .. and will prove his value somewhere more recognizant than these masses.

The reason is he plays for Leicester!!

Comparing Gerrard and Hazard the past seasons with Mahrez is to my humble opinion an insult to the guy. Compare apples to apples for God's sake. Gerrard and Hazard were surrounded by world class and recognized talented athletes. Mahrez was surrounded by whom??? huh? This is soccer not ping pong. A talented player needs still a solid matrix around to flourish and bloom.

It's definitely not soccer.

I'm sorry but this is a forum for Leicester fans, not player fanboys who support whoever their favourite player plays for and then jumps ship the moment they leave

No it's not because he plays for Leicester. We've just sold two class players to Chelsea.

 

I wasn't comparing Hazard or Gerrard in terms of ability. Read again. I was comparing Gerrard in terms of being the only "world class" player in the side.

 

It's definitely not soccer either.

 

By the way, we're Leicester City fans not Riyad Mahrez fans.

How is it good for us?  I would rather he was playing, increases his probability of staying!

Just don't.  Don't.

 

Yesterday was bad, today is worse in my opinion. Waiting on Silva, and Riyad possibly going, with no opportunity of replacing him if he does.

Dude, chill out a bit.  Don't take the vocal minority as a representation of all Leicester fans. We love him here and I'm sure the vast majority want him to stay.  He's one of the most talented players we've ever had, certainly in my lifetime of supporting the team since the early 80s.  Lots of people are being repressed Brits and resorting to the "never wanted him" or "he's rubbish anyway" as a way of coping. It's what we do.  Like when rejected by a girl/boy, you say "well, I never fancied you, and your breath stinks..."

 

As for reading the "insults". Do what a lot of us do, ignore them, take them as throwaway comments or, if you are a real Leicester fan, think of the bigger picture.  We welcome all comers to the boards and having a different insight into the game is great.  I love hearing other fans' perspectives, but you aren't going to get any love taking a player-centric view of the world and defending the individual above anything else.  People are mainly on here as they love Leicester, and some will take every opportunity to attack you if you talk against the club. Hopefully knowing all that helps see where "we" are coming from.  Again, welcome to the forum, and remember, we're all Leicester here!

Sounds like "gtfo, next time think twice before making us look like fools". Wether it's hs agent or he knew what's going on, that's two terrible days for him.

I guess you've never played ping pong then. You've no idea about that either.

So are you saying footballers have to choose either the red pill or the blue pill?

 

That's the only sense i can make out of that!
