DJ Barry Hammond Posted 30 January 2018 Share Posted 30 January 2018 Just now, Walkers said: Since when has it been a thing for clubs (I know West Ham are particularly good at this if you believe the media) to have to sign a very good, high profile player to cover a player who is out injured for a few weeks? ****ing deal with it. I'm not just saying this because its Mahrez. Do they literally have nobody capable of stepping in for a while? Pep suggests just 3 strikers - including Sterling. And of course when you have the money City have, why leave it to chance? There may also also be a bit of non-buyers remorse after Sanchez going to Utd.

Player A has sold for 250m Mahrez must be worth 150m Because his contract would be 6 months less and we would have more time to sort out a replacement.

Check out his stats compared to Coutinho and Hazard over the last 2 years, should be ashamed of yourself, we would be back in the Championship (at best) without his (and others) contribution. A fair price is what I would demand AND re-invest in quality (Ziyech and Thorgen). Why would we be in the championship? He didn't turn up at the start of this season. There is no excuse for the way he behaves. Completely taking the piss out of the fans 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sané's injury changed everything and if Sanchez was still avalaible they'd have bid for him. Jesus is still out for the next three weeks, Sane until late march and Silva doesn't seem to have settled. It's not a panic buy, it's any emergency one. I think they won't go over 65M. He wasn't the first choice on their short list but the possibility of winning the PL and the CL (they have a real chance at it) turned his head on. It's a chance of a lifetime for him hence his transfer request. Still pisses me off though and it's the worst possible timing right now, especially with Everton's game tomorrow in which he'll definitely won't feature. Oh dear my heart bleeds for them. They have a huge squad. What are they going to do next week if they lose two more players.Hunt around the world for out of contract players. They have a couple of minor temporary injury problems to deal with not a plague wiping out their entire squad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How any one could begrudge him the chance of a big move over 60m, only 4 months ago Just Roma showed a firm interest He cost 400k his payed his dues a million times over. Not sure why people are bothered about the extra fee, its not like its gonna effect them or the club in reality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARM1968 Posted 30 January 2018 Share Posted 30 January 2018 If any of us was Mahrez we would jump st this chance, just like he is trying to do. It is galling but it’s life. Still don’t think it’s gonna happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I certainly don't begrudge him the chance but I don't see why we should just roll over and accept any old derisory offer. If Man City want to pay what we want then fair enough. It doesn't have anything to do with what we paid for him. We took a chance on him, developed him and financially rewarded him pretty well. The timing is the real issue.

Not sure why people are bothered about the extra fee, its not like its gonna effect them or the club in reality. To the contrary to the many here I couldn't care less about the money asked for him to go. 20, 30, 40, 100M makes 0 difference for me as he's beyond numbers when it comes to his importance for the team. We won't replace him with 100M player because no 100M player will come, so we have to do what we do best, unearth a gem or buy smart. Maguire, Ndidi, Iborra, Silva and probably Diabs are all good signings. Like Mahrez, Vardy or Kanté were. I don't begrudge him, he always was clear about wanting to go and behaved professionally in the meanwhile. I also understand that with his talent he wants to achieve something that he'll probably never get here. You're right when you said he paid his due even if some people here don't see it this way. We plucked him out of nowhere but he gave enough in return to go without one being mad at him. It would be unfair. That said, it's simply sad because we gained some momentum are an exciting side to watch with a real chance to aim at Europa. With a settled team and Puel getting it to click, we could have been in for a treat the last part of the season. Even if he stays, i don't know in which mental state we'll find him.

ARM1968 Posted 30 January 2018 Share Posted 30 January 2018 It's a sellers market. I don't begrudge Mahrez a move to Man City - I'd take it if I were him. However he cannot begrudge us wanting a fair price. As we all know, in January prices are not all that fair. Tough! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He feels his achieved all he can at Leicester, this is probably one of the top 3 clubs in world football. Maybe he needs to act a certain way to force the clubs hand, im not saying its right.... but he got on with his football last time. I cant see that happening again Don’t bite the hand that feeds you seems to fit in with Mahrez at the mo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I literally don't give a shit, it doesn't affect me in any way whatsoever. Of course its unprofessional but the only part of football that really matters is the 90mins on the pitch. He's done a good job of that this season and most of his time here so I can get over him not turning up to training. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
