It is galling but it’s life. Still don’t think it’s gonna happen. Sorry but no. A Barcelona or Real Madrid. A Man Utd or Bayern then you may have a point. Man City are only where they are due to oil money and don't fill their stadium half the time they play. Yes they will win the league and he will be joining a more powerful club but they are not on the level of the biggest clubs on the planet. All the money in the world won't make it the dream move he was looking for... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May work the other way and see us and his replacement galvanised to make the position their own. Who knows if Gray or Diabate gets a run from now till the end of the season what they can do. He will be missed though. Such grace on the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wokinghamfox Posted 31 January 2018 Share Posted 31 January 2018 4 hours ago, Tuna said: I'm not happy at all at any of this. It stinks. We've no time to get a replacement, from what it seems they are nowhere near the valuation and all it's doing is destabilising the squad. If the valuation is not met, and we cannot replace, he can sulk until the end of the season and then be sold. Stick him in the u23's and fine him if he starts messing around. How depressing that the moment there is a sniff of interest, he's "Desperate" to leave and slaps in a transfer request. His disrespect for our club is what hurts most. Cant wait to getaway and after all it was Leicester City who gave him that big chance. I want him gone but only at the right price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
st albans fox Posted 31 January 2018 Share Posted 31 January 2018 Keeping him is senseless after this. He will never put the 100% effort in to make the difference again. Maybe not even deliberately - just the way it will be. We struggled to cope with a physically committed Riyad a lot of the time! Man City know this. They won’t pay a penny more than they feel they need to. if we get 65 mill we will have done well, given the lack of any ‘bidding war’. Really sad to say it but we need to sell him today and try to get as much as we possibly can. Maybe multiple add ons and a sell on clause to inflate the figure a bit.

Buce Posted 31 January 2018 Share Posted 31 January 2018 (edited) I’ll be livid with the club if they bend over for this.

So I say stop dreaming about 80s and 100sM Cant believes I'm biting but Ask yourself this: Is Mahrez a better player in your opinion then Van Dijk? If so then he's worth 76m absolute minimum and not even including his premium as an attacking player and with the transfer window closing today.

Hammo Posted 31 January 2018 Share Posted 31 January 2018 Man City want him. He (understandably) wants to go. We want a realistic price for him but don't have time to find an adequate replacement. Solution. Man City can have him, but not now. We agree to a deal in the summer for our valuation (£80m, £90m or whatever it is) but we get to keep him until then for a slightly reduced price. That discount could be incorporated into a deal loaning him back to us or, as they do in Germany, in a pre-contract agreement. That way Mahrez knows he is getting the move and will still be motivated as he finishes the season with us. Man City get their man, and we get a fair price plus time to find a replacement. The only hitch is if Man City are desperate to have him now. Or indeed Mahrez wants to join now because he knows he'll get another Premier League winners medal and a decent shot at the Champions League. From a Leicester viewpoint, the most important thing is that our club's interest is paramount and we do not get shafted! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foxxed Posted 31 January 2018 Share Posted 31 January 2018 3 hours ago, Bluemooner said: As a man city fan this has come out of the blue, pardon the pun. he should do what JV did when arsenal came calling an stay loyal, wait till the summer and then move on, giving the club that made his name time to find a replacement. Over the summer Man City may not still want him. That's the risk Mahrez has to take. Opportunities are sometimes fleeting. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RODNEY FERNIO Posted 31 January 2018 Share Posted 31 January 2018 If Man City get him for say £50 million that will take Pep's spending at the club to £500 million. Only PSG can compete with this level of spend. Does FFP not apply to them ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They want him now for 6 weeks to cover for injured players. That isn't the same as really wanting a player. They have know he wants to leave since the summer yet they show no interest until yesterday when they suddenly get confirmation of the time Sane will be out for and all of a sudden chuck in a derisory bid for Mahrez knowing it will interest him and of course his agent who I'm sure won't make anything out of the deal at all except a small thank you box of choclates. What will they do if Stones falls over in the shower this morning offer 50m to us for Maguire? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foxfanazer Posted 31 January 2018 Share Posted 31 January 2018 There’s 2 starting 11’s in the prem that he doesn’t improve. Man City and Chelsea. It’s quite sickening how clubs can stockpile players just to cover an injury to one of their stars whilst clubs at our level have to do the ‘honourable’ thing and take whatever money they wanna give Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I say stop dreaming about 80s and 100sM And wtf do Man City fans have to do with their transfers and fees paid? We get it, you want us to sell. You don’t get it, we don’t want to sell unless the fee is what WE (the club) see as acceptable. The fans can all speculate as much as they want, means fvck all. The scousers were adamant Coutinho wouldn’t go unless they got 190m, how did that pan out? Its not the fans, the manager, the player or even the buyer that sets the price. Its the club. In this case OUR club. And our club isn’t yours, obviously . so GFY 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
