Remember tax ain't that bad at the moment …. the Beatles were being taxed at 98% in the Sixties

and back in the day there used to be a windows tax … where you had to pay tax on the number of

windows you had in your house.

Never been a tax on breathing though … so relax.

 

Shhhhh, we don’t want to give the bästards any ideas.

Riyad Mahrez transfer to Manchester City takes step closer as star is excused from Leicester pre-season training

Mahrez has been given a further week away from the training ground with City inching closer to a deal

He wasn't due in anyway as he had international games before the world cup.

Typical click bait headline 

 

this is in the article 

 

But the 10 players who have been on World Cup duty, and those in international friendlies, have all been given extra time off - including Mahrez, who played in Algeria’s 3-0 friendly loss in Portugal on June 7.

They are excused from this week’s training before Claude Puel’s squad head to a training camp in France next week.”

It's almost unfortunate that he might still be here next season. Just want to see the back of this deal and move on. Much prefer to see a man play in his position that really wants to be here.

 

Thanks Mahrez, it's been great having you.

You get the sense that Man City fans have had enough of hearing about Marhez before he's even arrived. To us he may be a big fish in a little pond but to them, with their impressive line up, he must come over at times as a pretentious greedy  little shit! The fact is he'll have to work a lot harder for Pep than he did here including getting to training on time. If he doesn't hit the ground running I can see their fans quickly turning on him. Ill advised at times, it really didn't have to be this way, the sooner this saga is over and he's gone, the better for all parties concerned.

Was he ever well advised (apart from agreeing to come here in the first place?)

I think the Jacko gif is a bit premature on this one Houston.  Should preserve him for when the handbags are well and truly out

 

This tiff hasnt got past the pedantry section of the speedometer which I reckon is in the area of about 60 degrees max

 

Jacko eating pop-corn has got to be for when things go over the 90 degree mark

I never realised Jackson was a paedant

I don't consider it should be locked, but you're spot on about the meandering nature of the topic. His potential exit is still a matter for comment - however the current discussion is rather akin to the crowds of people who encamp around someone's home in anticipation of their demise. We all should know what to do about Mahrez - go away and get on with something constructive (which is what I'll be doing as soon as I finish this).

I think it's amusing that he and his coterie have succeeded in reducing his popularity with those fans who well-nigh worshipped him, to a 'can't be arsed about him' response. Had he had sound advice he would have left Leicester two seasons ago, along with Kante, with the same high reputation the latter still has here.

I believed that his intention was to play for City through the Champion's League campaign. I got that wrong - his intention was to play for himself in that competition and merely appear for City in all their other endeavours. I know I'm not being entirely accurate in my assessment of his week-to-week performances, yet this is what watching a player of immense capability waste everyone's time by his diffidence and narcissism has engendered - an almost complete erosion of the massive regard we all held for him.

Now he is an unsightly excrescence on City's otherwise unblemished appearance.

What would I do? Continue to pay his salary and fix a transfer fee concomitant with his potential worth - assessed on his playing to his optimum capabilities. I'd give him garden leave and instruct him not to trespass on any of LCFC's property. I'd instruct a complete moratorium of comment on him from any City employees. If broached about any comments he might have made I would respond with a "no comment".

 

Agreed

SSN saying he’s having a medical this week....we’ve accepted a bid of 69m

SSN saying he's expected for a medical in the next few days with a fee of around £60m. 

 

Say he'll be a city player by Friday.

60mil? I hope that at least includes Patrick Roberts as well?

They didn’t say. Maybe the owners are as sick of it all as us now and want it over .

We won't need to, I've little doubt Man City will have that conversation with him.

 

They're back for pre season training on the 9th July and they won't want Mahrez rocking up a couple of weeks later because he's arguing about money with Leicester. One of the reasons why Mahrez is an attractive buy is he's not been to the World Cup and they'll want him firing and holding the fort at the start of the season whilst their World Cup players aren't up to speed yet and are behind in pre season training. 

 

They've probably had a word with Mahrez and Joorabchian that they want him signed up by the middle of next week at the very latest otherwise the deal might be in jeopardy. I can't imagine Guardiola is prepared to let this saga to go past then, he'll want it sorted out very soon one way or the other.

 

Had he moved to City in the January window I would understand why LCFC would not pay his contractual bonuses, but he stayed on.  LCFC have held him to his contract and he stayed

Both Leicester and Manchester City need to get on with team building before pre-season is underway so I hope this happens, although we have been in this position for a long time so a little sceptical now about media reports
