Wymsey Posted 25 June 2018 Posted 25 June 2018 When does pre-season commence? Can imagine, given the current situation, that he'll arrive as expected to training.
yorkie1999 Posted 25 June 2018 Posted 25 June 2018 Right now this is the only thing that is definite. https://www.lcfc.com/teams/first-team although according to that, we've got 3 Ben Hamers, 3 Robert Huths and 3 Aleksandar Dragovics, who's photos have mysteriously gone transparent, like in Back to the Future

I think I've read ours starts next Monday on the 2nd July and Man City's is a week later. I'd imagine Mahrez will be excused from attending ours but Man City will surely want Mahrez to sort his future out one way or the other sometime in the next 10 days. If he's still haggling with Leicester over his "loyalty bonus" when he should be starting pre season in Manchester they may threaten to pull the plug.

pazzerfox Posted 25 June 2018 Posted 25 June 2018 21 hours ago, WigstonWanderer said: Why? This transfer would not be taking place at all at this price if he didn’t want to leave. Not only that, he has militantly agitated to go. If reports are to be believed he’s technically withdrawn his transfer request but has made it clear that he will kick up a stink if the deal doesn’t go through. This is a blatant manipulation. Ideally all clubs should stand together against this sort of agent/player power. I personally just think he deserves something for being a major player in us winning the league and us getting to the quarter finals of the Champions League. Seeing as we are getting approximately 166 times as much as we paid for him and him being one of the greatest players to ever wear the shirt. Yes he has been a mardy bum, hence why he shouldn't get the exact amount he wants.

I'm just grateful for what he did for us when we did the unthinkable. Glass half full or half empty scenario. I would like him to leave though so we can put this saga to bed.

Goldfish memory so it seems. He was the MOTM 4 times in a row when he came back from his "depression". He did disappear the 4-5 games after that but still cost us nothing. He's involved in 39% of our goals, not counting the chances he created and the mandatory 2 defenders he takes out of at every game. He and Vardy are the very reason why we didn't get involved in a relegation fight. Credit where it's due. Yes, he can't eff off soon enough so we can stop being a team overly reliant on one player to create something but the amount of abuse he's getting now is simply laughable.

Popular Post mozartfox Posted 25 June 2018 Popular Post Posted 25 June 2018 (edited) Unfortunately this abuse has been created due to an (Alledged) demand for a loyalty payment. This despite asking for a transfer and going on ‘strike’ for two weeks (in breach of contract), a strike which many feel was fundamental to our season falling apart. So really this abuse is self induced. I just wish he would go now to avoid more abuse and let our Cub move on to our next phase. But if he asking for 7.5m, he can fvck off.

I couldn't give a damn whether he gets it or not but it's just sour grapes anyone who begrudges him it. He won us a Premier League title and got us to a Champions League QF and the £100m+ that earned the club. We're now going to sell him for a £74.5m profit so even if he has his £7.5m that's still £67m all whilst taking out about £15m in wages in 4.5 years. He's undoubtedly the best buy in the club's history and if he walks away with a few million quid then he deserves it.
foxile5 Posted 25 June 2018 Posted 25 June 2018 Greedy bastard. Remember this next time we're given the old 'oh so humble' line. 1

At the end of the day these bonuses are meant to be for people not angling for a move and their clubs being the ones deciding to cash in on them, hence why you don't get it if you put in a transfer request. If he'd not handed in transfer requests and not vanished for a few weeks, nobody would have an issue. But he's the one who has been attempting to force the move for years, he's the one who walked out on the club. It's a cynical cash grab from him or his agent, knowing we were finally going to cave in to his demands and strops. So it's not sour grapes, because it has nothing to do with him going to Man City, it's about the way he has gone about it. 16 1

These sorts of clauses are fairly common place aren't they. It only stands out because the fee would be so high. He probably has been walked over, a bit because he seemed to get walked over a lot at the start with all the buy out clauses he was allowing people. But I don't think it's much to worry about.
Gazza M Posted 25 June 2018 Posted 25 June 2018 He's hardly loyal. He has been trying to move for the past 12 months. He can get fuched as far as I am concerned. 2

If Mahrez really wanted the move as a 'dream move' or wants out of Leicester that bad he would want it sorted. To me, all this "loyalty bonus" talk stinks of a greedy, arrogant, ball bag of an agent trying to get one over the the club.

Depends whether our arguing over his ‘loyalty bonus’ has led to his team employing a top legal person to peruse the contract and they have found something .......... that wouldn’t be rudkin’s fault though - he isn’t a lawyer (unless he declined legal advice at the time).

I can imagine our owners are wearing #nofuchsgiven t-shirts at the mo Riyad has a voice (albeit a whiny one) and can tell his wanky ‘agent’ what he wants him to do for him. The agent is being paid by Mahrez, if all this is correct then he’s begging for the bonus too. Unless Riyad is that weak-willed which I doubt very much. 1

It was pretty obvious at the time why.
