Riyad finally gone

[lgfualol]

Prefer waiting for a nice goodbye message.

 

Not like Kante, who called us Leicestershire United or something an hour after he left.

Well he's said goodbye so I hope all those nonces getting arsey about it can find something else to whine about. 

 

Love you Riyad

COME BACK 

[Bert]

See, told you all it was coming. Lovely message.

I'm not crying

[HighPeakFox]

I realise someone has done that for him, but they've done it well.

[DANGEROUS TIGER]

Bye, bye Riyad, and thanks for all the memories. You are a football genius, but I shan't miss your sulks, and unnecessary outbursts of anger.

 

Good luck.

Do each of the three "thank yous" represent each of those weeks he buggered off back in January?

[David Hankey]

Strange protracted transfer this, I wonder why no other Club came in for him? All a bit bizarre. No doubt his agent knows.

 

I just hope he gets plenty of game time.

Wonder when he’ll thank us? Nothing yet, but he’s already thanked Man City. 

 

We plucked him from obscurity and made him who he is.

Twas ever thus tbh.

Man United used their spending power and position for years to buy the best British players (when needed). Ferguson used their power to bully and harass officials and journalists to suit his agenda.

The club with the most money/success could always be accused of ruining football if they have a sustained successful era.

Right now, it's Man City. That won't last forever though.

 

Not sure it’s quite the same tbh. Man City are owned by a country who sponsor the team with their own companies and are able to set prices which mean they are able to fiddle FFP. They’ve rapidly built up a top 6 team and have not built it up over years/decades. Their success is entirely down to recent money spent rather than prolonged growth of a club over years and decades. Not quite sure how this won’t continue for Man City such is the wealth of their owners compared to even that of the rest of the top 6, never mind the rest of us.

Probably somebody at the club, potentially a former team mate. It's near-perfect British English.

[StriderHiryu]

That’s what I was waiting for. Respect Riyad. 

[Phube]

I don’t know why, but it’s the three Thank You’s at the end that really make it seem more authentic.

The boy is going to play out of skin to stay in the Man City team. Won't surprise me if he goes close to being player of the year again.....watch him go! 

 

Great player, gutted to see him leave, just a pity his sulking tainted our memories of him.

I'm glad he got the move

Yeah its a real surprise that in the last 2 years since we won the title, the English/European heavyweight clubs weren't jumping over themselves to get him. Ousmane Dembele went for 120M FFS. He's a gem of a player and i hope he does great things at Man City.

Riyad‘s gone - and with him the first 3‘000 of his Facebook fans on the official LCFC club page.

All the best to Mahrez for the future apart from when it affects us. Thanks for what you did Riyad, shame you think that to "get to the next level" you need to leave us, I always thought progression was down to good coaching and hard work but I hope it works out for you.
