Because that's what Toure said but you've referred to what he "actually means". I wondered what you thought that was.

Because that's what Toure said but you've referred to what he "actually means". I wondered what you thought that was. I was referring to the fact he said signing Mahrez would help Pep's cause, which it clearly doesn't as it doesn't fill the black and African quota.

I don't give a rat's ass about the other forums. Taking a dump on a player who was essential to the most glorious period of the club, just because he wants to leave and try his luck at a higher level, isn't being a fan, that's being dumb. Being outraged about the two games he missed but forget the 25 or so where he was essential, isn't being a fan, that's being fickle. I'll always try to back our players and wish the leaving ones well. I won't let myself get caught by the bitterness and react like a possessive mother. And if that means I'm not a fan,then I'm pretty proud of not being one.

I can easily forgive him for throwing his toys out the pram when he didn't get his Man City move in January, he's given everything to our club. There are people who would call Kante a legend but he jumped ship at the first opportunity when our future could have been so different if we'd kept him and bought well that summer. Mahrez stayed and only left when our attempt to springboard ourselves into elite level failed. You're judging him on his one negative and ignoring his umpteen positives. Read the thread properly.!

Top footballer (when he wants to be) who has given us all some great moments on the pitch, but to claim he's "given everything to our club" is overstating it. Yes, his numbers appear impressive from the outside, but when you look and see what happened in the past two years/two seasons or so with two transfer requests handed in, him refusing to play for the club and for a team that made him so successful, plus him going missing for an essential part this past season, a season where we could've gone all the way to 7th (or even 6th, with Arsenal crouching over the finishing line), he leaves with my best wishes, but I'm not going to shed a tear when he's gone. There was a time without him and there will be a time without him. As for Kanté, he had the release clause in his contract and blame whomever inserted it or for it to happen or why we couldn't convince him to stay. Can't blame the guy, in the end, he's made the right choice (for himself). 2

Kante left because he could, I don't blame him for leaving but a legend stays even when possible bigger and better opportunities come along. Heskey turned down a number of offers before Liverpool came in with a deal that was great for the club and Heskey. Izzett stayed after relegation and played out his contract only leaving when the club clearly couldn't afford to keep him. That is why they are legends in a way that say Lennon and Savage aren't. Mahrez did stay when he could have left and signed a nice new contract with no release clause and if he hadn't gone on strike, as understandable as it was, he would be leaving a legend no doubt, but a legend doesn't go on strike and a legend doesn't leave at the first opportunity for a club that finished 10 places below us. Legend is reserved for those that have put the club ahead of their own needs, not just been a great footballer on the pitch.

In 30 years time when you're having a conversation about LCFC legends there is no way on earth that Mahrez won't figure very highly in that conversation.

When we are talking about the most talented footballers to play for Leicester he will be right up there, but, in my opinion, a legend does more than just play good football. They put the club first. They don't go on strike. You have to do a lot to be legend. Mahrez is still one of my favourite players and I understand the reasons behind his actions... but a legend does not go on strike and derail what could have been a very successful season. 1

You probably think Andy King is a legend by that criteria.

Popular Post Captain... Posted 11 June 2018 Popular Post Posted 11 June 2018 40 minutes ago, Gerard said: You probably think Andy King is a legend by that criteria. You mean our top scoring midfielder that has dedicated 14 years of his life to this club, won the top 3 leagues, 2 player of the season awards, scored in 11 consecutive seasons, including being top scorer in one, numerous occasions as captain. He has always been there when called upon, turned down all approaches never thrown his toys out of the pram over contracts, playing time etc What do you think? 33
Ted Maul Posted 11 June 2018 Posted 11 June 2018 Time will tell on whether Mahrez will be a universally accepted Leicester legend or not. For me, his transfer saga and behaviour has been pretty symbolic of the state of modern football at the moment, which is difficult to look past. Oh well, we're living through the era of our greatest ever legend and we can't have everything. All hail king Vardz. 1
