They do seem to know very precise details. Not many staff would be travelling to an away game, so the amount of people that could leak such a story is small. Not been present at training, not on coach to everton, and players been upset over it, pretty precise info.

foxfanazer Posted 31 January 2018 Posted 31 January 2018 1 minute ago, the fox said: i was against the 50 million figure all season long, it's just too low. i see 70 as a fair price tag, we get a good amount of money while not keeping an an happy player. there is a thing that people seem to brush over. we can't attract any big young talents if this mahrez situastion gets any chaotic, players would go to everton or southampton because those clubs will be prepared to sell them when the time comes. people think it's all about the "now", if keeping an unhappy mahrez and selling him in the summer for 10-15 million less while painting a negative image of how the club deals with selling one of it's best players, then i have to decline Yeah I’d take £70m now tbh and be done with it. Don’t need the circus every window On the flip side to your arguement selling him too cheap would set a precedent that we are pushovers and therefore we’d continue to be lowballed for our players. I think our owners have been fair. He shouldn’t have signed the deal if he had qualms about honouring it

They either pay the price or don't get him. The same as every club. In fact because it was Barca we should hold out for more money. Edited 31 January 2018 by ARTY_FOX

Not going to happen. We donlt know what was said to Riyad - it was reported the club said int he summer if we get 50 million from a champions league club we will let you go and they have now changed the value... I'd be pissed off..... Why, its simple economics, So if you'd house sell in the summer for 200k and it didn't sell, and then you put up for sale today and the market value has gone up 50% during the meantime! Would you still sale it for 200K or bump up to 300K? He only has himself to blame, if he'd got he finger out last year and had a decent season he would have got his transfer this summer.

Chrysalis Posted 31 January 2018 Posted 31 January 2018 22 minutes ago, the fox said: do you think 70 million isn't at least a fair offer? i don't want to lose him but if i had to choose between 70 million or an off-sync riyad, i would take the 70 million. what i see it is, there is no "love" between riyad and the owner anymore, the made it clear that they won't lose money to please him so he feels like he doesn't need to play "fair" anymore. the roma director said that the club blocked his team and barca, i can imagine how angry riyad is by denying him his dream move 70 million is a joke of a fee. I think you havent even read my posts explaining why, because if you did you would realise it would be poor value for us. Getting relegated costs even for just one season down around 80 million. Merit payments from 17th to 7th circa 20 million revenue, for one single season. Our owners run a multi billion dollar business. We are the 14th richest club in the world (based on clubs own income). We play in the richest league in the world. Its 2018 not 1990, outgoing transfer fees dont rule our transfer budget. I think we struggling to even spend what existing budget we have. Its hard to get in high quality players who want to play for your club, especially at a reasonable price. How does this 70million help LCFC?

EnderbyFox Posted 31 January 2018 Posted 31 January 2018 £70m is probably about right in terms of value for the player - but it's the timing that leaves a sour taste. Almost impossible to sign a replacement player with half a day of deadline day left. 1

CollinsLCFC Posted 31 January 2018 Posted 31 January 2018 £70m matches the valuation for a player of his calibre. But on deadline day, no replacement and how instrumental he is for us, we should not be accepting anything under £100m. We don't have to take what everyone thinks he should be sold for 1

I'd be pissed off..... That so called gentlemans agreement is just speculation, also never expect anything to happen thats not in writing. But if we assume the agreement was made, its reasonable for the goalposts to be moved when the market changes. The market has changed significantly. Also if I owned a football club, and the player found out about a bid before the club told him, I would apply a policy the bid is rejected by the club on the grounds of tapping up.

ozleicester Posted 31 January 2018 Posted 31 January 2018 Right im going to bed soon..before getting up for the game in a few hours... im relying on you lot to keep Riyad safe and not let him disapear... if i get up and hes gone, im holding YOU responsible, and youll be for it! Dont make me come back there!!
Guest Posted 31 January 2018 Posted 31 January 2018 What we do need to do is come out like everton and state very clearly, whether or not he goes, that we are now aiming for top 4. It had a huge effect on the players they could sign, that raw ambition being signaled so publicly. I'd like us to do the same.

Two transfer requests sitting at an airport and now missing training and not traveling. I have been saying if he don't go things could turn toxic in the dressing room.
VLC86 Posted 31 January 2018 Posted 31 January 2018 honestly if we sold him to Arsenal I am at the stage where I would probably just laugh and let him enjoy it. Although I would lose £100 so yeah, not really that funny.
