Robin JD Popley Posted 7 June 2018 Share Posted 7 June 2018 Last season he was the difference in both games against us. Deft touch and a bit of a nasty b------ to boot (in playing terms). A no brainer if we can get him in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The likes of Vardy, Iborra, Silva and Evans will keep his ego in check and prevent any dressing room conflict. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They told me that there was a miraculous healer who lived in the mountains. I drove for half an hour in a car to have been manipulated by an old man, but he did not help me at all. This is also why Stoke City was the best choice: here there are seven physiotherapists, who will examine me everyday: hips, feet, legs. Everything in a professional manner" do you have any mysterious healer in leicester? cause this guy doesnt like one Dave Rennie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
st albans fox Posted 7 June 2018 Share Posted 7 June 2018 He is no Riyad but I fancy him as an option to play on the right compared to others we have seen suggested. The price helps but that won’t be the full story - he will want a big s/o fee to compensate ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id rather we signed Shaqiri for £12m and just received £65/70m cash for Riyad without Roberts. I disagree. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He thinks he's bigger than that. just he plays for fecking stoke. I'm not even going into the fact they got relegated. But incase you forgot HE PLAYS FOR STOKE If what you have said is true good I don't want a cvnt like that at the club. stoke 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted Maul Posted 7 June 2018 Share Posted 7 June 2018 Doesn't necessarily have to be the Mahrez replacement... We could bring him in, sell Gray, make a profit and put it towards Maddison. Then we could concentrate on our 'marquee' signing. Shaqiri, Maddision, Diabate, Albrighton and Felipe Anderson or Thorgan Hazard would be great options. It could be done with a negative 'net spend', and we can go all Spurs and bang on about how great we are in the market. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In support of your argument - I concede he would have had more if they hadn't had Diouf up front. He's also injury prone and was in and out towards the end of the 16-17 and the 17-18 campaigns. He was however available for their run in but performances are erratic. Perhaps also worth a reminder that in addition to speaking out against his club and team mates he has stated he wants Champions League Football, and wishes to sign for a top six team. To be honest his future probably lies abroad. He certainly wouldn't be part if our long term plans, but if he does sign, I can at least laugh at the and inevitable FT scapegoating in the post match thread meltdowns. This would not be a good addition to the squad imo - but then there's a sprawling thread from the other summer on the reasons to sign Christian Benteke. Shaqiri? I think he'll go abroad...his expectations are too high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the fact that he and his brother thought he'd stick out more in a more mediocre team. Which he did. But from a sportive point of view, a bit of a disappointment. And then slating your own team after relegation, classic Shaqiri. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Wall Posted 7 June 2018 Share Posted 7 June 2018 Not 100% sure where I stand on this. We are screaming out for more creativity and he would provide that. However, can't help feeling his attitude might be suspect (though that is a feeling rather than anything more concrete). Given that our dressing room, at times, seems to have some issues of their own, is it a risk worth taking? Having said that, as a fan, I'd be quite excited at the prospect of seeing him line up for us. Geeerrrrrriimmmiiinnnn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clever Fox Posted 7 June 2018 Share Posted 7 June 2018 What's this obsession with little cxnts. He has talent but nowhere near enough to replace Mahrez. He only scores against us, is no good for defending and no good at corners. We can do a lot better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshall Cockney Fox Posted 7 June 2018 Share Posted 7 June 2018 12 million is pittance for proven PREM quality. Remember Man City are paying 60+ million for Riyad. I can't see an issue here, get him in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why mingling two types of contract clauses that have nothing in common? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
