He will never win anything there and their fans have proven to be just as bad as Spurs and Arsenal fans. If we were linked with a player from a foreign team but we kept having bids rejected, i highly doubt any of our fans would be spouting off saying we hope that team gets relegated etc. Bunch of ***** and they can piss off with their crap offers way below his valuation! A few dumbasses on the internet don't represent a whole fan base. Just look at the state of this place.

Supporters can range from those who wish Leicester to be relegated to those (like myself) who even went out to celebrate with friends. We've got nothing in common with neither Spurs nor Arsenal fans. You guys have got a reputation. I support Atalanta in Italy and massive bad blood between you both. All teams have idiots as fans, us included but it does seem like these offers are deliberately insulting.

Yet... mahrez is wanted by a number of clubs who won't meet his asking price. drinkwater is allegedly chased by Chelsea Kasper should replace De Gea if he ever completes his move to Real Maguire should've signed for Spurs instead to boost his England call ups Kelechi is so talented Man City were desperate for a buy back clause. Vardy should've gone to Arsenal Ndidi is listed as a possible partner to Pogba at United Gray is chased by Liverpool and Spurs Chilwell was seen as Liverpools answer to their full back problem where are all these shit/mediocre players than? Signing for Roma in a what is a poor league and playing for what is a poor national team will not enhance Mahrez appeal. Don't jump at the first girl who caught your eye. Earn the move you really want. That's nowhere near good enough to compete. And that's not because Leicester isn't great but simply because the top 6 are that much better.
SaporeDiMahrez Posted 6 August 2017 Posted 6 August 2017 1 hour ago, Wymeswold fox said: It's quite clear that Roma are being somewhat disrespectful towards the club more than Mahrez. If he's sold, yes, we'll make a Tudy profit even at only £35m - but some of the skills he has produced against some of the best in one of the world's most-competitive leagues are quite rare to see and most fans know that, o his day, he's valuable as pure gold in football terms. The lowest, considering everything, I'd accept would be £45m. Just hope we activate a 'buy-back' clause - in case he turns up regularly (if he leaves) and performs strong consistently. Who knows, he might end up finishing in the top-six next season, whilst Roma fail to qualify for Europe and he wants to leave there potentially.. There's not a chance Roma fail to qualify for Europe after having finished the last season with 87 points.
lcfcdamo Posted 6 August 2017 Posted 6 August 2017 Im starting to get worried we will lose him on the last day and have no time to replace him. If he goes we need someone creative and good on the ball. To be honest what ive saw of him in pre season he has looked on it and very creative.

We both know what happened was a miracle. You can get lucky once rarely twice in the Premier League. Also I don't believe the top 6 were that much better. Quite a few were on rebuilding mode.
brucey Posted 6 August 2017 Posted 6 August 2017 2 hours ago, Albert said: The common consensus is that he'd downed tools and couldn't be arsed last season which personally I think is very harsh. We were a poor team as a whole last yr. He has that nonchalant style which people mistake for laziness when it's not going great but it's hard to have an impact on a game when you're being marked by 2 if not 3 players. His thought process (influenced heavily by his agent) was to come out early with his intentions and get a big move. That clearly hasn't materialised. It's been made clear to his agent that it's £50m or nothing Have the owners privately set a price of 50m, despite saying publically they haven't?
SaporeDiMahrez Posted 6 August 2017 Posted 6 August 2017 3 hours ago, Babylon said: Their mentality that we should do them a favour and take a shit price is laughable. No one has that mentality here apart from nutty fans spamming the net. Let alone Monchi who's the man in charge. He has said it clearly: if we can get him we'll be happy, otherwise amen. No one is expecting Leicester do us a favour.

I am not saying that we are out there to "compete" what I'm saying is three years ago, yes we could have been bullied. It's a different kettle of fish now. These are players being recognised for this clubs remarkable achievements. Roma are trying to remain great but are not the power they use to be. Mahrez wants to go, we are willing to sell. The player has a price. If Roma cannot meet that price, they shouldn't play with the big boys. It's as simple as that. The club are basically keep bidding till you get to where we want you to be. Due to our owners ( and the business we have already done this summer), Mahrez sale has no effect on our plans.

That's true, but the situation for your team still remain extremely delicate at the moment. One, because even if Leicester decides to keep Riyad they'll be keeping an unhappy player. Secondarily, assuming you manage to get fair value for him, what kind of player do you expect to get in his place? Because you could find a £50m substitute but what makes you think he'll interested in joining a Leicester without Riyad himself? What if Drinkwater without Mahrez wants to leave too? What are the odds of ending up (not necessarily this year) with a team twih plenty of cash but no appeal to attract top players? In a scenario where your options are to either buy really young prospects with high bust potential or pay silly money for someone overvalued like Siggurson? As a Leicester fan, that's what I'd be worried about: it takes one player to leave for the domino to fall.
foxfanazer Posted 6 August 2017 Posted 6 August 2017 Remember the days this forum used to get hijacked by Bristol City, Watford and Hull fans. Now it's Roma! We are massive!

When have they said anything publicly at all? They don't need to. They're multi billionaires who have a prized asset on a 3yr contract. More fool you if u believe anything u read on twitter or in the papers. £50m is the price tag they've set and won't be bullied into anything less

We have just bought one of the hottest young strikers in the Prem, an experienced 3 time Europa League winner in Iborra and a highly rated young CB in Maguire, what makes you think we cant attract top players just because Marhez wants to move on.

Reading this post makes me smile because it reminds me that we picked Riyad up from nowhere for a paltry 400k.
richardsfoxes Posted 7 August 2017 Posted 7 August 2017 Why is there even a debate, pay what we want for Riyad or **** off its as simple as that.

I don't understand why we're being slated for holding our ground on the price wanted. Why let one of our best players go on the cheap? Roma wouldn't let Nainggolan go for cheap, so why should we with mahrez?

As a Leicester fan, that's what I'd be worried about: it takes one player to leave for the domino to fall. That player was Kante and we seem to have plugged that gap rather well all things considering. It took Manchester United about 6 years to recover from losing Scholes. If we lose one or two more big name players it really doesn't matter. When Riyad joined he didn't join to play in the same team as Gary Taylor Fletcher. When Kante joined he didn't join to play with Jamie Vardy. As long as we are in the Premier League there are a lot of players who will want to join us because we pay well, we help develop players, and we seem to achieve great things. Our recruitment policy speaks for itself.
bpfox Posted 7 August 2017 Posted 7 August 2017 well we are only doing the same as what swansea,and everton are doing with there players, if u dont match there asking price , go away.
Jattdogg Posted 7 August 2017 Posted 7 August 2017 Comes a point where someone doesn't get it and is a broken record going on about the same ish. We get your point. Time to move on and talk about serious bids now. Accept it.
CosbehFox Posted 7 August 2017 Posted 7 August 2017 The fact that Roma won't even offer what they received for Salah makes me think Roma's offers are pathetic. You cant set a market value and then attempt to undercut for a better player.
mozartfox Posted 7 August 2017 Posted 7 August 2017 You can if you think the selling Club are not very savvy in their transfer dealings. It is called 'mugging someone off' or taking the P**s.

As a Leicester fan, that's what I'd be worried about: it takes one player to leave for the domino to fall. And accepting a below par bid from Roma for Riyad would some how change that potential scenario?? Football, generally is a merry-go-round. Players leave, players are replaced. You have to trust the recruiters at your club to do that. We lost Kante and Ndidi (albeit a different player) who was attracted with the prospect of proving himself here. We have two ageing centre backs and seem to have filled one of those gaps with an up and coming young player who wants an opportunity to prove himself further in this league. Not to mention Kelechi, who on his day could command a starting berth at probably any team in Serie A. The point is, as comments from within the club have shown, we are reluctant to sell Riyad but will listen to the right offer from the right club. Leave the replacement recruitment to us. What is annoying about this situation is Roma are trying to mix with the industry big players and quite obviously do not have the balls (or money) to do so. Respectfully, we have rejected the bids because they just don't seem to have the means to compete.
