I'm surprised no conspiracy theorist has mentioned yet that the Saudi club literally has 'Riyad' in its name.
ajthefox Posted 16 July 2018 Posted 16 July 2018 I refuse to believe this until I see anything confirmed by the club. There's no way we're letting him go for that... 1
Foxy harry Posted 17 July 2018 Posted 17 July 2018 that means musa is only one jeff schlupp and one YB29 worse than mahrez.
VIKTOR-LE5 Posted 17 July 2018 Posted 17 July 2018 If it's true great news, wev'e got over 100m to spend hopefully, get rid of Ulloa( i like his song),Slimani, Kaputska,Mendy etc and free up some wages and give N'didi and Maguire a good pay rise.
volpeazzurro Posted 17 July 2018 Posted 17 July 2018 I'll believe it when it happens. I just think the price is media hyped. Cash rich the Saudis may be but their not idiots. They'll roughly know his worth (the true one being less than we paid) and they'll also know he's been out on loan and there may have been other loan offers. Leicester for example would snap their hands off for 16m let's face it, great business. They're money will be spent in huge wages trying to get Musa to go there. 1

CarbonVirtine Posted 17 July 2018 Posted 17 July 2018 Gerrimout! £40m, cripes I'd take half that! But it's silly talk innit?

It might be the £40 million is the total package including wages. Some countries lob that in when fees are reported. 2
les-tah Posted 17 July 2018 Posted 17 July 2018 Musa is a very muslim man and is very much a practicing muslim. So he would have no issue living in Saudi for years opposed to other big name players who wouldn't hack it.. so kind of makes sense why they want him.

In fact, I'm pretty sure that Saudi Arabia is different culturally and societally than Nigeria or the UK, whether a practicing Muslim or not.

If we could recoup most of the purchase price it would make it more palatable for our owners to let some of our others go at a reasonable loss. I can't really blame them for not spending much more than they have this summer until some of these things have been sorted. The ongoing wage bill must be sky high for players that aren't even going to get a look in. Our most recent purchases seem a lot more pragmatic and will always be there or there about the first team or squad I would think.

To be honest £40m including wages would still be probably £25m as a transfer fee which is extraordinary and I may be completely wrong anyway. 1

Guest Posted 17 July 2018 Posted 17 July 2018 I'm waiting for Mahrez to comment saying that Ahmed deserves a move to a bigger club like the Saudis.

True, it always appears to me that the Saudis look down on their non-Saudi Muslim 'brothers' more so than they look down on non-believers!
sylofox Posted 17 July 2018 Posted 17 July 2018 If we get 40m for Musa it will make the Mahrez deal look like we gave him away. Some fecker has got a great dealer. £40m for musa

jammie82uk Posted 17 July 2018 Posted 17 July 2018 We all might think he is naff but surely he would be one of the best players in thier league if he went, we might think it’s OTT but he would be worth it to them 2

This is Ahmed The Moose Musa you are talking about. Future of the club and as some have rightly pointed out, better than Neymar. Posters are only deriding him in the vain hope that the Saudi’s will believe he is rubbish and not steal him from us for a frankly insulting £49 million. 1
FoxinNotts Posted 17 July 2018 Posted 17 July 2018 (edited) Interesting timing for the official website to run with an Ahmed Musa special https://www.lcfc.com/tv/786407/three-memorable-musa-goals Edited 17 July 2018 by FoxinNotts 1 1
Sol thewall Bamba Posted 17 July 2018 Posted 17 July 2018 If at the start of the summer someone told us we'd get a combined £107m for Mahrez and Musa we'd all be delighted.
