KJT Posted 17 June 2018 Share Posted 17 June 2018 And Mahrez deal would have been done on that transfer deadline day on that Monday in January! Really, then why is taking forever? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really, then why is taking forever? Cos Pep likes to play games. Did it last summer with Arsenal and Alexis on deadline day. Unsetttles the player, Arsenal refuse to sell and Arsenal get left with a poisonous player who has no interest in playing for them. Roll round to January and United get Sanchez so Pep thinks **** it, ill screw Leicester over this time and unsettle their best player on deadline day and use the injury to Sane as the reason why we need another attacking player. Pep is a bigger c*nt than Mourinho, hes just alot more subtle. Who will he screw over on deadline day this season? A bid for Salah maybe? Hazard? 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably us again with Maguire. £20m bid and offering Stones in return - this after Stones broke his leg in the World Cup Final with a 2 year recovery window. Rudkin accepts £15m.

Popular Post AKCJ Posted 18 June 2018 Popular Post Share Posted 18 June 2018 I find it mad that Man City will happily lob 60m at a reserve centre half, 100m on two fullbacks and are looking like spending 55m + bonuses on a midfielder that probably won't get in their side but they're turning their nose up at a man who has more goal contributions in the last 3 years than any winger in the league - including the 150m rated Eden Hazard. 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OhYesNdidi Posted 18 June 2018 Share Posted 18 June 2018 I hope we've put a deadline in place early. So both man city and Mahrez know where they stand/what is going on. The deadline being 2 weeks before the actually deadline so we can get a replacement in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheUltimateWinner Posted 18 June 2018 Share Posted 18 June 2018 If we've been going backwards and forward since January and STILL can't agree, I don't see how this deal will go ahead. Unless Man City are unable to find a similar player and are forced to bid what we want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevieB Posted 18 June 2018 Share Posted 18 June 2018 If twitter sources are to be believed then we aren't budging on Roberts coming the other way in the deal. We want him in the deal to adhere to FFP which would make sense. Apparently mcfc want to sell separately but we ain't budging. Would make sense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's absolutely baffling. They just stumped up the £57m release fee for Laporte who is a 24 year old uncapped centre half and couldn't get in the French World Cup squad when the likes of Rami are ahead of him who was linked with us at one stage but went to Marseille for £5m last year. I wonder if the main stumbling block is we want Roberts but they want a buy back clause because woe betide they take a chance? I'd love a Man Utd or Chelsea to join the hunt and just slap in a bigger offer and we tell Mahrez and Man City that he either joins the club with the biggest offer or tell Man City to match it.

NewquayFox Posted 18 June 2018 Share Posted 18 June 2018 I just can’t see us getting the fee that people are quoting, would love Mahrez in a Leicester shirt again next season but with the price being nearer £50 million he will go. Poor show all round and I hope we stand our ground or another club show some interest.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarbonVirtine Posted 18 June 2018 Share Posted 18 June 2018 (edited) It'd be interesting to see how he responds if he doesn't get his move away. It's all well and good saying he's worth x, we ought play hardball, but if clubs aren't interested in paying that sum (and, let's face it, few would be) then we're running out of options. I've just read conjecture of Liverpool interest (should the Man City deal finally fall through) but I've not read of interest from elsewhere. We're seemingly not fighting them off - not even Everton and West Ham (that bit's irony by the way). And, tbh, I've taken that to mean that pretty much everyone considered Man City to be a done deal. But maybe it's not. Maybe there is no other interest (at the prices we're asking). Now what a shock that'd be, for supporters AND Mahrez! Maybe £40m to Everton (or whatever) is nearer reality than £120m to Barca (or whatever) I wonder how Mahrez would feel about his 'dream move' then. Would there be an airport lounge big enough to contain his disappointment?

In all likelihood it could help, but I think the boat has been missed with that. Mahrez's exit is surely too far gone. IF he did change his mind though, it would be an incredible boost. If the £50mil budget is true and we've all but spent that on Pereira, Evans and the impending arrival of Maddison, I still don't think we'd have to sell Mahrez to further add to the squad for the likes of Kvirkveila and any others. Shifting a lot of the players that were out on loan this season will still bring in a sizeable amount of money (looking at key assets like Slimani, Mendy etc.) which can be reinvested.
