Grow up and get behind Riyad, or: stop listening to the press and wait and see how he reacts on the pitch

As for Mahrez being an icon,you'are mistaken greatly,he is not considered as an icon in Algeria and wouldn't even make it to the top 10 of the best algerian footballers of all time.

We gave you Mahrez and contributed greatly to the most important event of your entire history.

What Leicester gave to Algeria.......nada!

 

You got this the wrong way:

the **** with people coming on here as Mahrez fans telling us our team wouldn't have achieved shit without him. bullshit lol, get to ****. 

 

no problem with friendly, well-informed algerian people on this forum but draw the line at that ffs 

I bet he regrets saying yes to Algeria, if he had developed at a bigger club to us he would be playing for France right now.

Genuinely the stupidest post any of the Algerian tools have made. Before we found him he was a skinny little bit of potential in the French lower leagues, linked with no-one. His contribution to the club these last 4 years isn't to be understated, but he wouldn't be being talked about in the same sentence as big sides but for Leicester taking a chance on him and developing him.

Mate, I can't even name 10 Algerians, never mind 10 that are better than Mahrez. And if he wasn't made in Leicester, why on earth would you be on the forum of a club you knew nothing about? 

 

We've been here for over 135 years, and we'll be here when he goes, don't worry flower.

 

To be fair though, Algeria is bigger than Leicester- far more sand than we've got here as well. 

[HKFox]

 

Good interview and chat about Mahrez, some insightful perspectives on the situation.

I personally felt we should have sold Mahrez, took the money if it was the reported 65mill. and used Gray and Diabete for the remainder of season, see how they perform and if they are good enough and take 4 months to identify the ideal replacement for Mahrez.

if you want to call me a fanboy, go ahead, i'm here to hear it but i will shove those words down your throats after this summer, next year and the year after that you sad muppets. talk is cheap and actions speak louder than words so wait it out.

 

riyad is/was a clown, the biggest clown there is! he tarnished his legacy and disrespected the fans. i'm not telling you to let it go, forgive him or act like nothing happened. you want to boo him? go ahead, he deserves it.

 

but are you too prideful to see that we are a better side with him? did anger make you blind and you would actually rather us (yeah i said it, US! and if you don't like it you can kick rocks!) lose games than accepting a future apology from him for the sake of the club?

 

this post is meant for the people that feel betrayed and let down by him, not for those sad clowns that have a history with riyad. be truthful to yourselves, if we (oh, i said it again!) won this game with ease, wouldn't you be here showboating and telling everyone that we don't need him? it's painful huh? 

 

how is a "fanboy" looking for the good of the club more than you "true fans"? do i have affection for riyad? yes i do. i hold my nationality with pride! i am algerian! i was born one and i will die one! and if you don't like it you can drink a pint of piss.

 

and for the relatively new fans who are afraid to say anything that goes against what the old heads think because you are afraid will be called a "fanboy", enjoy life you sheep!

 

this is mark's forum. if he wants to ban me for life, i won't be mad, if the mods want to ban me for life, i won't be mad. but for others, keep talking and losing sleep because of this "fanboy" because i will still be here.

It wasn't just Mahrez though was it? The same can be said for Simpson, Albrighton, Okazaki etc. They all played their part, especially Kante. He was the main man that season for me in terms of consistency. They were all consistent, bar Mahrez. He ended up being carried by the likes of Vardy and Drinkwater for about 10 matches that season so have a word with yourself son, because you are chatting complete and utter pollution. We are fans of Leicester City, we will always put the club first and at present we are one of a few lucky clubs who have owners who feel the same. Fair play to them for putting the clubs image before money. 

 

You do realise that Mahrez is going to have to play out of his skin FOR US in order to get somebody to bid our valuation don't you? Excellent leadership skills by our owners. Play your best Riyad or kill your dream and rot. Love it! 

Completely agree! 

 

Because Mahrez pulls something out of the bag that is majestic every now and then that seems to cloud people's memories. He is capable of the sublime but as you say he got carried at times by the likes of Kante. 

The amount of times Riyad was on his arse up the pitch having lost the ball whilst Kante/Drinkwater was getting the ball back from a midfielder/striker who was bearing down on goal. 

 

Mahrez was crucial to us winning the league that season but so were the other 10 regular starters and bit part players that featured during the campaign.

we are talking hypotheticals here. he could have done nothing or the more realistic one, he could've edged us to a win. it was the kind of games that he puts to bad, just look at the last southampton   Huddersfield game for proof

I assume you mean Watford? Yes I see what you mean but in that game they allowed him the space to get behind. Swansea were well drilled today and it wasn't hard to see why top teams have failed to break them down recently. They don't give away a yard at the back. 

 

Was one of those frustrating games you knew after half an hour we wouldn't win and they were gonna shithouse  a draw

I'm thinking ever more that we should let him rot in the reserves until the summer. If he's going anyway, why not start building a team without him now? It'd give his replacements more game time and experience anyway. I'm one of the few of the opinion that we should have sold him. 65m plus a player is still an awful lot of money. But we didn't so we now have to consider where we go from here.  

I agree. If we weren't going to miss out on getting all or most of what he's worth, I'd be tempted to let him train with the kids for the rest of his contract.

 

I understand that contracts don't really mean all that much in football, and that keeping unhappy players around isn't the best idea, but I don't believe the club has done anything wrong at all. Does anyone really expect us to flog arguably our best player on the cheap hours before the window closes, leaving us no chance to get a replacement in? It's mental.

 

I'd really love to know what sort of cash value Riyad thinks he's worth, because I've no doubt it's more than a little bit over £60-odd million. Although he wants to go, surely he must realise that offer was nowhere near good enough? As crazy as it sounds, in today's market, that is an insulting offer for a player like him. Especially as it was coming from moneybags Man City. You can bet your arse if Riyad was at a bigger club, no-one would dream of offering anything less than around £100m.

 

If any player throws his toys out the pram because the club don't let him go for far less than he's worth, then sod him. It's just so unprofessional. He's doing himself no favours whatsoever.

 

He's been a fantastic player to watch (as well as awful for almost all of last season) during the most successful era of the club's history, but that's just what he is now - history. It's time to move on. With Puel in charge, and a decent summer transfer window, I believe we're more than capable of doing so.

[theessexfox]

I hate how it's made out that we did Mahrez a massive favour in plucking him out of obscurity like we were being very charitable and generous, all that happened is that we bought a player we liked and he turned out to be pretty good, with his development going hand in hand with the club's. Hardly think he owes his entire career to Leicester just because we bought him, of course we have given him game time and helped improve him but it's nothing generous on our part.

Good point.

 

Bar his first goal against Brugge Mahrez was patchy in the champions league.

 

For a player requesting to move to one of the big clubs he didnt exactly pull up any trees against Sevilla or Atletico. If he had proven himself more at that level maybe more clubs would have taken a chance on him.

 

[Callabinho]

All arguments aside, Mahrez is the best player ever to pull on a leicester shirt. However that Mahrez is gone, and quite frankly I couldn’t give a shit if I didn’t see him in that shirt again. Let him sulk and sit in the reserves for the rest of the season and then **** him off to Spain or something. If we’re going to take a financial hit because of his childlike behaviour then he can get what’s coming to him and that’s a move to a mid table foreign team who’ll deal with him and his immature agent.

We were but we had the chances. Another day we're minimum 3 up at half time. It happens in football though. Some days you can do everything and not score. Man city vs Burnley for example. 

 

You won't see Sterling miss a chance like that again all year.

arty mate, come on now! how is that any different than an algerian non-leicester fan saying "leicester owe everything to mahrez"?

 

you scratch my back, i scratch yours. leicester plucked mahrez from ligue-2 4 years ago but he worked hard to be the player he is now. without mahrez there would be no league title, without mahrez there would be no CL football. without him there would be no accolades thanks to him under the name of the club (7th in the ballon d'or, POTY, african player of the year and the only leicester representative in the 2014 worl cup).

 

 do you know how much he contributes to the profile of the club? there are 4 poty players still in the league, chelsea have 2, everton have 1 and we have 1. other 17 teams have non!

 

i know the mahrez hate is at an alltime high but come on, don't make the mistakes of today blur out the happy old memories. and in the end of the day, the club will make alot of money because of him.

 

I have to agree with this. 

 

People are talking like Mahrez would still be kicking about in Ligue 2 and Leicester made him the player he is. The truth is you can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear and Mahrez was always silk that just needed cutting. Mahrez always had the ability in his locker to become a top class player, he just needed pointing in the right direction.

 

He's behaved like a spoilt child though. I can totally sympathise with his situation but Man City weren't willing to stretch too far for him and I believe Leicester reluctantly would allow him to leave but we wanted paying properly and not told the price by Man City. Offering a player we didn't want and expecting to not pay a premium with two days left is within their rights but not ethical.
