Riyad finally gone

[Trav Le Bleu]

In Memoriam 

 

Tis better to have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all

 

RIP RM

[maynefox]

How much is the fee. £60m reported??

 

I hope not. Should have sold him in January and got more.

£60m in the bank - spend it wisely

[Micky]

Riyad you are a legend. All the best.

[Izzy]

Whose place will he take in the Man City team? Wonder how long until he gets the arse that he’s not playing every week.

A joy to watch on his day though. Thanks for the memories

They wouldn’t offer more, we were rightly never selling in Jan unless it was a ridiculous fee 

[Miquel The Work Geordie]

All the best to him. What a bloody signing he's been.

 

He'll get 20 league goals with ease there if Pep uses him regularly. One of the best players in the league.

[Bert]

All the best, Riyad. The greatest ever player to play for our club. I'll miss watching him week in week out but as we all know a move to bigger and better things was inevitable after that season. 

 

Thanks for everything Riyad.

It was £50m + mangala (valued at £15m) in January I think, so £65m. We wanted £75/80m + I think we wanted Roberts.

Worth the ticket price on his own on occasions and despite his most recent antics he didn’t jump ship straight after the title win. 

 

Thanks for the memories Riyad but thank goodness this is now done.

Good! 

Bye! 

[bovril]

One of the most talented players I've seen playing for Leicester. Some great memories, not least the goals against Spurs and Chelsea in '15, Man City in 16 and the free kick against Bournemouth. One of the best players in our history and a league title winner. Good luck to the guy, hope he's a massive success there.

Thank you for the memories.......

 

The skills, the goals, amazing touches.

[Trav Le Bleu]

If Real Madrid show interest this December and he goes on one of his paddies, then I'll love it, in an entirely Kevin Keegan type manner.

What does irritate me, however, is his thanking God on Instagram.

 

No mention of the fans.

No mention of the cleaners.

No mention of the physios.

No mention of the coaches.

No mention of the managers.

No mention of the memories.

No mention of the teammates. 

 

But God? Thanks to God. Come on, mate.

[TheSomersetFox]

Legend. An utter genius. Thanks for everything Riyad

I am more concerned who is coming in to replace him! We knew he was going in January 

This

 

That's all that matters now.

[brucey]

1. He's kept number 26 

2. He really wants to get across that we were difficult, Instagram post saying "Everything comes to those who wait" 

3. Why is Maguire liking Riyad's post and the club's announcement

[Master Fox]

Good riddance.

Agreed not been the same player since the premier league title, just looked to have been in some sort of sulk. Somehow I don't think he'll reach his heights at Man City as he did at Leicester.  

[fazzyfox]

They'll be like the Harlem Globetrotters next season, any odds for a double figure win at some point? Aguero, Jesus, Mahrez, Silva, De Bruyne, Sterling..... The irony is that their European exit was to Liverpool, but must do better at that level. They may have walked the league but they've barely arrived yet in Europe, there's plenty more they can achieve. At least it wasn't Bottle'm Hotspurs,, Yanited or Cheatsea and with Salahs form it wasn't going to be Liverpool.

Inevitable but genuinely gutted.
