Yes. Not that I'm a big fan of Chambers, but he's a better deputy than some we have at the club.

35 mill plus Chambers. Yes

So basically they would be paying about £52 million

thats not gonna happen

Wonder if he'll get his head down and try to start looking like a decent footballer again.

 

I remember in the championship and first couple of years in the prem, I used to get excited when Mahrez was near the ball. Since the title win I'm just expecting him to give possession away cheaply and usually moan at the ref before slowly picking himself up/ jogging back.

And that, my friend, is precisely why we ain't getting flooded with bids of 50 m quid. If you and I can see that, so can everyone else.

For any club to seriously come in with an offer near to matching our valuation, they'd have to be pretty sure they'd be getting title winning Mahrez.

If the Arse come in with a serious offer for Riyad, would anyone take Callum Chambers plus cash?

He plays right back and centre back, which could solve a couple of our problems quickly, with the window about to close.....

Depends how much cash.

It doesn't matter a jot what we bought other players for. I'm sure you agree the 30 m for Slimani deal is looking like we had our pants pulled down? Yes?

And the Neymar transfer has blown any notion of sensibleness and financial expediency out of the water.

I'm fundamentally of the view that it doesn't usually work out well if a club keeps an unhappy player. The market is dictating that we are having no bids near to what the club value him at. That looks to be around 50m.

So, one last time, there needs to be a compromise to some extent, in terms of fee. The club COULD hold out for nearer 50 m and this COULD end up in a formal bid. But it might not too.

If it doesn't, we are left with a sometimes great player but one who doesn't want to be here...and no transfer fee whatsoever.

Fine margins.

You don't know if the club would accept less, so far we've not had a single sensible offer, so we don't just don't know.

 

The only thing the club have said in public was Top and he seemed to state quite clearly the price was a fluid thing. Which is fair enough, you judge each situation and each bid differently depending on details.

Wrong, if Mahrez had a similar season last season to the one before he'd be going for £100m-£150m.

 

The reason the asking price is £50m is that there is a risk in buying Mahrez. Which player are you getting?

[Devonfox1884]

I'd take £25m + performance-related add-ons + Chambers who I'd value at in and around the £20m mark as he's young, English and versatile.

Chambers is not worth £20m IMO. As for being versatile, this is usually the Achilles heal for players. I.e. They can't get into the side, as they master neither one position or another.

personally i think that snake wenger is waiting until maybe 2 days before the end of the transfer window and will bid a bit less than roma knowing mahrez will want it , he will kick off and want the move and we will be left with less money and no replacement for him at the end of window or pay high amounts for a deadline day shit player . 

 

either we get a replacement in now or we put it out there if no bids come in a week before deadline day then the player will not be sold .

I don't know what world you are living in?

Where are these bids of 50 mill? Where?

Agree to disagree about his value, but I do get what you're saying about his versatility, Amartey is a prime example, but he did look very good at CB in the U21 Euros, and has looked good at RB for Arsenal - I think he'll come good if he is played continually in one of this positions.

 

This is all conjecture of course as I doubt Arsenal will even come in for him!

In your world we sell to the highest bidder regardless of price as the market dictates the price to us.

 

We are entitled to value the 26 year old former PL POTY and last year's 7th placed Balon d'Or who has three years on his £110k a week contract at £50m, it's not excessive at all in a world where Sigurdsson is a £45m player, Kyle Walker is £50m and Liverpool are rejecting £100m bids for Coutinho.

 

The fact that we've made him one of the better paid players in the world so that should be a message that we want a fee that relates to that.

Yeah but if they bid less than Roma we'll reject so I don't see any logic in your post. If Arsenal want him, they'll have to pay £50m. It's all crystal clear.

 

As for Mahrez kicking off - when had he ever shown that he does this? He's gone about everything very professionaly so far but some posters on here seem to like to fabricate this horrible Mahrez monster that is a ticking time bomb.

 

It's all bollocks. I'm quite optimistic he'll  have at least half a decent season with us at the very least. If he doesn't go this window he will be a model professional, I'm sure of it.

[Almo-Fox]

what about benching him next Saturday against Brighton znd start with Gray for the 90 m as we see CS handling his match 

at the end no body will blame him and we will have a quiet day and without posts from mahrez lovers one may say 

or mahrez will be out of the squad do the press will go and with all the opposite directions of the news  is he injured or mahrez had done a payet or hd is doing the Medical at roma or at an EPL club so the press people will earn done money and then comes CS with s big smile at the CP saying : we .......

To be honest, 50mil is a steal not excessive. If no club is willing to put 50M on him, then fuchs them all, he will be happy to stay at Leicester

mahrez wants to stay in the prem and if arsenal come calling then he might just kick up a fuss to force something with deadline day approaching ?

 

he could say to shakey sell me or ill just sit on the bench until january , then our hands might be forced to either a) accept arsenals offer or b) get in another player at more expense and have an unhappy mahrez mooching around the club until january . 

 

clubs always come out and say we dont want unhappy players who dont want to play for us here and at the minute the club think well hes ok and says hell give 100 per cent so we can fend off bids. The minute his mindset changes and gets advice from his crap agent then all that could change. 

 

unless you know mahrez personally and know he wont do this then i apologize and agree my post has no logic

[VIKTOR-LE5]

Mahrez aint going anywhere this window so knuckle down our Algerian fox.

I bet you can't wait till his future is sorted so you can know which team you will support this season! 6 confused fanny boffers!

As I said before (don't you get this?)..we are entitled to charge whatever we want for him. That don't mean we are going to get it!

It boils down to the simple question, for me. One which so many just swerve (it gets tiresome having to be one of the only ones on here to ask the important questions). Do you want a player at your club who has publically stated he doesn't want to be here (and which is reflected in some of his performances) or do you sell him for what appears to be the going rate, thank him for his time at the club and spend the transfer kitty wisely?

He doesn't want to be here, ladies and gents. He's said so.

[Edingleyfox]

Does anyone know much about De Rossi 34 year old Roma captain rumoured links to Leicester and if there is any connection to potential departures?

 

Can see a rocky couple of weeks ahead with last minute comings and goings which are not always the best. Hope we stick to our established targets with premier experience and don't sell anyone on the cheap.To be honest would be happy if transfer window closed today.

Normally I'd agree and say if a player doesn't want to be at any Club then it's best to get rid.

However, In the case of Mahrez I'm not so sure. I think his problem is frustration with how he's being used.

He's been asked to track back which he clearly doesn't like doing.( He only see's the game in an attacking sense. ).

When he receives the Ball he's usually 60 + yds from Goal with no support. He then has to try and take on 2 defenders.

I think if we played Albrighton behind him he'd have someone who can help him then I think he could rediscover his form and love of the Club.

At the end of the Day, it's all about happiness with players. If they're enjoying their Football then they are usually happy and it's when you get the best out of them. Has anyone at the Club tried to find out why he's unhappy or want's out.
