I am going to cry when he goes. Then cry when he comes to Leicester and rips our defence to bits.

He could be 125 and he'd still be correct

[the fox]

He just had to act-a-fool and affect his legacy here, did he?

 

It's been a long, frustrating, bumpy road filled will laughs and frowns but yet, magical. Think he has the best ball control that I've ever seen. The ball looks like it doesn't make a sound when it hits his foot. 

[Weller Wing]

As others have said, our most talented player ever.

Frustrating at times but so are many players of his type.

Thank you Riyhad for everything - the good bits have totally outweighed the bad.

[Bryn]

Can't get on board with the criticism of him really. He's been a bit of a bellend but I've seen players do far worse, he's played better than most of the squad and I don't know that we'll ever have a player with his quality again.

[Jimbo]

What a player, what a bargain and what a profit we'll make on him.

 

One of the best we'll ever see wear our shirt. 

Will be sad to see him go but he's given us some great memories.

 

Was half expecting him to go full on Cambiasso after he scored and give us a little bow. 

 

Thanks for the memories Riyad

Have said for a long time that his first touch is among the best in the league. He knows what he's doing with it when the ball is only halfway to him. Seeing already beat a defender before the ball has even reached him is probably what I'll miss most.

[FrankieADZ]

that sad realization on the way home its probably the last time we'lll see Riyad in an leicester shirt.......truly sad times

So so true. Whilst there is much frustration, cold hard truth is that he’s the best/most talented player ever to have put on our blue shirt.

You obviously never watched Frank Worthington. In the days when players performed on muddy pitches and the ball was as heavy as lead and defenders were allowed to take out forwards time and time again without being booked or sent off.

The thought of Mahrez possibly selling one of our players for a hotdog in the near future

I genuinely haven't ever seen a player with a better first touch and that includes players who have won Ballon d'ors

Worthington and Weller were magic, but mahrez is better. His achievements as a Leicester player will never be bettered unfortunately

[ROB-THE-BLUE]

He was crap tonight but it was fitting that he had his moment at the end with probably his last touch at the KP

While there are players with better close ball control whilst dribbling, if I had to choose one player to control a 50-yard long ball, I would go with Riyad. There are many who can control a long ball. But not a lot who can just kill it with the side of their boot. absolutely outrageous.

Totally overplayed almost every situation tonight. Then scores. It’s what he does

[1972 Fox]

Good luck Riyad and thanks for the never to be forgotten memories you have given us over the past four and a half seasons.

 

It was fitting that you signed off with a trademark quality goal in your last home game.

[lifted*fox]

Was obviously desperate to score in his last home performance and it showed as he overdid everything for 90 minutes BUT he got the goal and it was a nice moment, got me right in the feels. 

 

Incredible that we've had a player of that level and for so long as well. Shame he's been a bit of a bell at times but hey ho, a small price to pay. 

 

Wah. 

[Blue'nWhiteFox]

I'm really going to miss him when he leaves (and he'll probably do it this summer ...). My heart will cry. But at the same time my brain knows that history has shown, in all clubs, that no one is irreplaceable and new good players will appear ...

Nobody has ever said he' not a special player.but if you don't think going AWOL and not performing for 3 months didn't effect his legacy here god help us.

[reynard]

Simply one of the very best players ever to play for the club. As others have said his ability to kill a ball dead when receiving a pass is the best I think I have ever seen at Leicester.

 

I doubt very much we will ever see him play for us again after this season but last nght he put in a shift and scored a goal of the very top quality. Not only a creator of goals but a scorer of goals. Simply impossible to replace for teams like us.

He'd surely be in most people's Leicester's all time eleven.

..it was great while it lasted

 

thank you Riyad

Simply a magician. All the best to him- he deserves the big stage now. 

[Guest Col city fan]

The argument isn’t and never has been ‘should we keep him’. Of course we should, for his playing ability which at times is breath-taking (however, lest we forget he’s been pants for the past few weeks like they all have).

The argument is and has always been, do you effectively imprison a player who just does not want to stay and has made this abundantly clear.

My opinion is no, we don’t. Not anymore. Let him go and continue his career where he wants to continue it.

To just bleat our this line about ‘anyone wanting to sell him is just plain daft’, is pretty immature. There’s much more involved than just that as I would hope we all know.
