Trouble is I don't see how this gets resolved, even in the summer. 

 

Reportedly clubs could have bought him for £50m last summer and declined. 

 

Now because of the mega-deals that have taken place since his price tag has gone up to £80m. 

 

Question is - why would the clubs that didn't bid £50m for him last summer pay £80m now, especially given his behaviour & the fact he's a year older? 

 

Either we're overestimating his value or bigger clubs are trying to have us on because they consider us small fry. 

 

In any case - the only way I can see him moving on is if we lower our expectations...but will that happen? 

Cant believe the "bigger clubs" are acting as a cartel and have a joint policy to try to get our players on the cheap !..If one of them had considered Mahrez was worth  80 million i'm sure they would have bid that amount,the fact that nobody did and only Man City made a bid  (which was below our valuation) says something.

OK he may be worth that amount to us and we should therefore keep him for the time being,but he will be a depreciating asset and in 3 years if nobody meets our valuations he will leave on a free,aged 29...

[Chrysalis]

and whats so bad about him leaving on a free at 29?

 

If our owners have decided they dont need the money why should we care about the money?

The bad thing about him leaving on a free in 2 years is that he doesn't want to he here and could have a negative effect on the squad. We just need to sell him and whether we get £40m or £80m is irrelevant. He's been a great player for us, the best I've ever seen at Leicester, but we've had our monies worth out of him and it's time to move on and sell him and find a replacement

But why should it have a negative effect on the squad? If he refuses to play/train, he won’t be in contact with the squad. They’ll get used to not having his presence around, and get on with their careers. He will be  the only person affected, by losing his fitness and being out of the limelight. I’m so pleased we have such great owners who have brought us so much. I still chuckle that we had the balls to tell Man City to get lost!

I do thing he is a great player though, and grateful for all he did for us in the title winning season.

The owners have got the right idea. Only sell to desperate clubs because they are easier to rip off. That's what Southampton did with Van Dijk and Liverpool and that is what we should do from here on out. If Man City were desperate enough they would have bid whatever we wanted for Mahrez. I'd rather let players run down their contract and leave for free unless they are either unwanted fringe players or we are ripping off the buying club, that's what every other big club in the world do and we will never be seen as a big club by neutrals until we start telling the supposed big boys to do one, no negotiating, the price is the price. We shouldn't even be entertaining offers below 100 million for Mahrez.

I do agree that I'm glad we told city to get lost as well and a big part of me wants to see him rot. But we just need to move on now. If only to get rid of the Algerian fan boys on here and all over Facebook.

Well done the Thais : No transfer money , 100 K weekly as wage ,  and a player whose value is depreciating from day to day. 

If you want some advice on how to lose money ? Just ask the owner or some here ... ?

Only til the summer...then we get rid for 50 million minimum...against the 400,000 we paid for him I think that is making money no?

i'm sure they are looking at the bigger picture. They are billionaires, so their record speaks for itself. Not every deal/choice you make will result in instant profit, however it will set a precedence

Are you one of these Mahrez-obsessed fan-boys I keep hearing about?

I think The Fox 1 has missed the point totally. It's the dog that wags the tail not the other way round.

If you check Forbes, Vichai's real time net worth is estimated at $5bn https://www.forbes.com/profile/vichai-srivaddhanaprabha/

 

But yeah, you're right - if you want advice regarding how to lose money, he's your man!

[An Away Move]

What kind of message wold the owners be giving to all clubs if they let Mahrez go for less than what they think he is worth in the current market? It's as simple as that. It's actually not about poor little 'depressed' diddums.

You could have pocketed more this winter + a free player .

I'm not sure that you will get a 50 million offer again this summer after what happened !

A chipped image for the club , owners that don't keep their words (greedy), new players who will hesitate to sign there ...

5 or 100 bn $ dosesn't mean he will not lose money on Mahrez between this winter and the next summer.

1  Who cares even if thats true?  It means we keep him for this season and have more immediate success because of it  Plus we dont need the money, its nothing in the scheme of things

 

2  -  See point 1

 

3 -  Check the media.  Many are saying we've flexed our muscles and shown we wont be f****ed with and not many defending Riyad anymore

If the mardy arse doesn't want to play for us and refuses then he shouldn't play for anyone . Kneecap him.  Will teach all the other spoilt bratts a lesson who are thinking of going on strike.

You are dismissing the fact that it isnt just about the money. Im not going to harp on about 'bound by contract' setting a precendence as its all been stated 10,000 times in this and other threads.

 

What chipped image? 

 

Maybe when all this came out, but not now. The media/pundits and reports now are all pretty much stating he is being a baby and needs to get back to work. And oh wait, that is exactly what he has done today. 

 

[azzathehack]

Maybe we'll get more for Mahrez in the summer, maybe the offers will be less; the key point that some are missing here, however, is the precedent. The so-called 'big' clubs will come knocking for Maguire and Ndidi before you know it, and by standing up to 'player power' now they have shown that they cannot be forced into making decisions against their will.

[CosbehFox]

If Mahrez is the difference between 7th and 10th plus a Cup game at Wembley, we make any money lose on the transfer fee in prize money

We sell him in the summer for £399,999. Not that hard...

Something that these Mahrez fan boys fail to understand it seems. They think he came to us as a £100 million superstar and now we are losing money on him for not selling him, when in reality we plucked him from obscurity, helped him develop his talent by giving him the necessary freedom on the training ground and in games, funded him and turned him into a superstar, obviously we benefit from this as a club, but if we'd not signed him he would probably be still playing in the minor french leagues, never had got in the national team and been a player no-one had ever heard of.

We won the Premier League with a player we found going nowhere special in the French second division.

 

If we sell him for two buttons and fluff from my belly button we will have made a profit.

[deep blue]

TheFox1. Someone said that Vichai's personal wealth stands at  £5 billion. He's probably in the right ballpark. Do you think that anyone on here, unless their personal wealth comes close to Vichai's, can be in a position to criticise Vichai's financial dealings?

When are these fan boys going to get it.

 

This is a Leicester City forum for Leicester fans. No player is bigger or more important to us than the club.

 

One day he'll be gone along with the fan boys (Thank fvck) Then most of us won't give him a second thought.
