djskydiver Posted 30 January 2018 Share Posted 30 January 2018 I guess if any of this is true and if he's not in the squad tomorrow, then the move would be looking likely . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me lets just take the money, if he doesn't wanna be here then fine. Not sure what you're watching down Leicester but I've yet to see a player at the KP who has put on a performance better than Mahrez at his best. 2015/16 PFA POTY 7th place Balon'd'Or In 2015/16 no player beat Mahrez on assists and goals. In 2017/18 no player is beating Mahrez on assists and goals All this in a side who have averaged just over 40% possession in the last three years and Mahrez was playing RM in a 4-4-2, at our worst he was effectively playing as a wing back. And you don't think he's a top four player FFS. 11 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankieADZ Posted 30 January 2018 Share Posted 30 January 2018 given the amount of money Man City have just spent on a defender who hasnt played in the league or anything and they are only offer 2 million less for Mahrez, its a bit of a joke tbh, can see why he'd want to go there but he'd be in the same boat as Bernardo Silva, be a first team player but mainly used as a sub and mainly playing in the cup games, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urban.spaceman Posted 30 January 2018 Share Posted 30 January 2018 Dear Riyad. Arsenal are currently losing to Swansea. Stay with us till the end of the season and we will finish above them. Then you may leave. Deal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The release clause ensures we get a good price and it ensures he gets to go. He continues to put in a shift for us for the remainder of the season as opposed to sulking. He wont sulk again regardless, he's tried that. Plus good price? They're gonna be back again I guarantee it so if your happy with 60/70 you've nothing to worry about.

I don't know what their stance is but the club hold all the cards here. Man City have to go big to get him. The owners are not stupid, they surely won't let him go on the cheap. Just because he's done a transfer request it doesn't mean he's off. He's under contract. We don't have to sell. I've always felt he'll move this summer unless there's 80-90 million on the table now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentFox Posted 30 January 2018 Share Posted 30 January 2018 Just can’t get over how much we underestimate Mahrez. Imagine him in a team where he does t really have to worry about defending! Lump on him for POTY on 18/19 if he goes to city. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the fox Posted 30 January 2018 Share Posted 30 January 2018 the club asked for 50 to let him go, they only have themselves to blame. the window doesn't end in the 15th or 30th. that's the sad reality, the management knows he wanted to leave, he put a shift in waiting for an offer, now the offer is here, it's up to them to do what they want. i would understand if mahrez throws a fit if the offer is more than 50 million Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pazzerfox Posted 30 January 2018 Share Posted 30 January 2018 Delighted that the club are not being bullied into selling on the cheap, and they seemed to have learned from having their pants pulled down with Kante. We got a decent fee for Drinkwater and holding firm over Riyad. It's so hard to break into that top 4 when your star players always want to leave. We broke up the dynasty in an epic way two years ago, but it will not be done again for a long, long time sadly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leicesterpool Posted 30 January 2018 Share Posted 30 January 2018 The appealing thing for Mahrez though is with the way Man City are this season he could find himself with a champions league medal come May. To be honest I'd luv to see this club work harder keeping there players but if you've got a player around sulking would you want him here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Livid Posted 30 January 2018 Share Posted 30 January 2018 Sorry but they've just signed an uncapped defender for £57 million, £50-60 million is not going to cut it. He cost us next to nothing, he's under contract for two and a half more years, there's no rush on our part. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balls in our court let's hope the 50 million figure was just for the summer because if not, mahrez will not be happy. the club can hold out for what ever they want, it's the "50 million" that bothers me. no one will win. if it is true, you can't expect riyad to stay happy if the club isn't honoring the agreement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Mahrez had been crap this season then I'd happily have sold for £55m but he's one of the best players in the league again so his quality has been underlined. VVD went for £75m Couthinho for £144m Man City have bought an uncapped centre half for more money a couple of days a go. We're reluctant sellers whatever the price, if we must sell we should at least feel we got a fair price otherwise no deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poznan34 Posted 30 January 2018 Share Posted 30 January 2018 You've got to be talking £80m+ for him. Especially with no time to get a replacement. He should stay, win the cup with us and then let him go in the summer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

st albans fox Posted 30 January 2018 Share Posted 30 January 2018 Just like the end of August, we are left wondering how the hell we get a replacement in on the final day. he should have been told in August that no offers after the 24th would be accepted and similarly, if a gentleman’s agreement exists with the owners that an acceptable bid would see a deal go through this window, that should have expired a week ago. His representatives should be aware and this charade could have been avoided. I don’t understand how we end up in this situation. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
