The owners are gonna meet in the middle of some random poster on FT and Man City’s valuation because?

 

i think they’d have probably settled £80m but it was clear Man City weren’t budging. Negotiations ended and rightly so

it was 95 million or jog on. not 70, not 80 and not 90.

This is the point I don't get buddy, why is it the owners fault and why are they asking too much? By all accounts they were asking for 80 by the end of it man city just started ludicrously low. As for putting off players, money talks. Never harmed any other club that's done it. 

 

It's all well and good saying we should of had a standby but then would we have been left in the position where we're dealing with a club on deadline day late on and they don't want to sell? So we don't get our man? 

 

I understand you want to defend your man but ultimately the blame here lies with him. If he doesn't have a strop, doesn't listen to his agents lies in an attempt to use mahrez as a cash cow he knuckles down carries on playing brilliantly and goes in the summer for that price. Also he has to realise man city aren't that bothered about him. Or they'd have paid it. Most definitely. Guardiola has said that he'd only pay that for the special players so he obviously doesn't feel mahrez fits that category. 

he was promised a move if he stayed after the title winning season (he didn't even have a release clause and that's his fault).

 

he was promised a move in the summer but the offers did not meet a fair valiuation (50 million) so fair enough, the owners did the right thing and riyad/his agent were mostly to blame. but 95 is just over the top, it's a "i don't want to make a deal" kind of price tag.

 

for all he did for the club, is knocking 15% off his price tag too much to ask? or are the players the only ones that should be loyal and take paycuts?

 

my problem isn't just with this mahrez mess, it's with sport fans , and i mean all sport fans. like the NBA, the only ones making compromises are the players, if a player plays bad, the fans boo, if the player isn't good enough but the team trying to get rid (like the everton player) they will do everything in there powers to drive him out.

Just isolate him in the reserve team, tell the squad to consider him sold to Man City and to press on. I regularly cut my nose off to spite my face, I’d probably train him poorly and never play him again, see his age rise and his prospects fall, make every attempt to ruin him for the remainder of his contract, 200k fine isn’t enough. End his career. After enough lost noses people will treat you better in general  

Oo.. You are awful!..

like i said, the pay cut part wasn't about mahrez but about many other sportsmen who make sacrifices for the team but they rarely get something in return.

yes they did (believe it or not). he wanted to leave and the owners said that they will "let him go" for the right price. that 95 million figure was just a polite "piss off!"

 

the owners should know that a cane can only bend so much until it breaks. i said 75 for him was fair, mac city offered 65, i'm sure if the owners wanted to have a deal they would've met man city in the middle

They didn’t offer 65 they offered 50 and some chump nobody wanted.

Perhaps not, but that would still be £80.75m.  Man City were a million miles away from that.

The owners were willing to deal at 80. Like anything you bid on you have a price and add x amount because the bidder will low ball and you eventually meet in the middle. The price you want. But man city bid 55. Which is ridiculous. Add in that their final offer wasn't even 65 million really. It was 60 and some random player they valued at 15 that would never have been good enough to play for them. That not even close to a fair offer. 

 

We never valued him at 50. It's already been reported numerous times that the reported 50 million valuation was indeed ago g and 'well below' Leicesters actual valuation of mahrez. Articles explaining that have been posted on here. 

 

So after all he's done for the club, the club knock 15% off. Now after everything the club has done for him we add 20% on. Fair? 

 

There's some hypocracy in what you're saying regarding all he's done for us ect. Let's not forget what the club's done for him.

he said for the longest that he wanted to leave, the owners shouldn't be surprised

 

 

Who says it‘s got anything to do with being surprised?

Nobody was surprised Riyad handed in a transfer request, not after what happened last summer.

It‘s got everything to do with respect for your contract, timing and a sensible, formal bid by whomever wants to buy Mahrez.

We value him at £95m, then that‘s our prerogative. That‘s how much he is worth to us. If van Dijk goes for £75m on short notice and Coutinho commands £142m, whilst Manchester City have no troubles splashing £57m on a very good defender, then getting a player like Mahrez with his pedigree (Algerian international, PL winner, PFA POTY) for £95m is a reasonable proposition.

Who cares who it was? If they weren’t deemed good enough to replace Mahrez or add to the starting 11.

One thing you can bank on from Alan Smith is he will say whatever the least controversial thing is deemed to be. If everyone starts saying Well done Leicester so will he and they say something along the lines of 'with the new information I have'. There's just nothing spectacular about him so he says what he has to keep his job I suppose

Our owners don‘t have to swallow anything when it comes to Riyad Mahrez‘ asking price.

Manchester City never really truthfully placed a bid, and at no point anywhere near our evaluation.

We‘re not forced to sell, end of.

Once again the real problem here is agents. I can't really understand why he doesn't sack his agent over this. The advice he must have received has been terrible. Surely what you tell your client is to behave in a professional manner and to continue playing to the very highest standard they can. After all throwing your toys out of the pram doesn't look good whatever the provocation.

In mid december they should have apporached the club and stated that he wanted to leave this window thus giving us time to find some kind of replacement. The club should have made it clear at that time what they were prepared to accept in confidence and by what date they would require the deal to be done. Maybe a meeting took place but it doesn't appear so.

Of course the agent wants a deal done because that is the only way they make more money for themselves.

I find Man City's approach to be poor.To come in late in the window like they did and to make an offer so low they knew it wouldn't be accepted is just asking for what has happened to happen. At that point Mahrez's agent should have said to him sit tight let's see where we go, but be realistic this late in the window things might not happen. Maybe then they could have looked to set up a deal with him agreeing to leave for them in the summer when probabaly we would accept a lower offer.

 

Now we have a situation where our best player is unlikely to play again this weekend and maybe for some time to come and the last match shows how average we are without him. I fear the season could get derailed over this. Puel needs to really manage this well over the next few weeks. A big and unfortunate test for him.
