Pete from the USA Posted 23 April 2019 Posted 23 April 2019 Yup, that's our Mahrez. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-6948293/Forgotten-man-Riyad-Mahrez-threatens-quit-Manchester-City.html
Brainy Posted 23 April 2019 Posted 23 April 2019 Anybody know the state of the Man City facebook page?
damolcfc Posted 23 April 2019 Posted 23 April 2019 He should go halves with Danny Drinkwater buy Notts County. Play every week then.
Matt Posted 23 April 2019 Posted 23 April 2019 Yep, my prediction of how long it'd take him to throw his toys out the prem for this very reason was about bang on i'd say.
stripeyfox Posted 23 April 2019 Posted 23 April 2019 Has he actually "threatened to quit" or is this just Daily Mail shit stirring?

He’s just obviously wants more pitch time and his considering his options - just the Daily Mail doing click bait and throwing mud at an easy target so people can all say that he has down tools again and he’s sulky blah blah bollocks.
ultrafox Posted 23 April 2019 Posted 23 April 2019 Maguire, Chilwell, Maddison, Ricardo, Tielemans et al... take note! The grass will not necessarily be greener on the other side.
Leicester_Loyal Posted 23 April 2019 Posted 23 April 2019 What did he expect? Although I thought he would get more games than he has, you're not going to get ahead of Stirling and Bernado Silva unless they get injured. We were right to sell him.

Does "openly whining" sound less scandalous? https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/8917774/riyad-mahrez-whining-training-pep-guardiola-man-city/ Btw, I do acknowledge that the yellow press are vile.
String fellow Posted 23 April 2019 Posted 23 April 2019 Surely he must have realised that being a regular for Man City would be unlikely. Ditto with Drinkbeer at Chelsea. Give them both free transfers to Fort William!
MC Prussian Posted 23 April 2019 Posted 23 April 2019 Hmm... Not many options to choose from... Sound familiar?
RowlattsFox Posted 23 April 2019 Posted 23 April 2019 Needs a new agent, this sort of stuff is not going to make him look good. Yes it is frustrating, but he's at a top club with top players, I think he's actually played a fair bit considering and hasn't had much impact in those appearances. I'd take him back definitely.
foxy boxing Posted 23 April 2019 Posted 23 April 2019 his dream move has turned sour, the grass isn't always greener! he should have known he was never going to be a regular starter for Man City unless he was playing unbelievably!. he clearly thought he was going to get more game time than he is.
FoxesFan1901 Posted 23 April 2019 Posted 23 April 2019 Goes to show the grass isn't always greener! I for one was gutted when he left us, irregardless of the circumstances, he was the best player I had ever seen at the club. Personally I still wish him well - it's always good to see one of our exports doing well somewhere else and goes to show the talent that we can churn out of this club!
SkidsFox Posted 23 April 2019 Posted 23 April 2019 Astonishing though that a club can invest so much in one player when they know he'd probably not make the first team all that often. Even Barca or Madrid wouldn't do this (although admittedly because they'd hope for marketing revenue and so try and play the star buy). Was it just to stop a Liverpool or a Man U signing him?

I think they signed him with intention of playing him more than this. He's just not performed. His problem is he is ordinary for large periods. He did it here and he's doing it there. The difference is instead of persevering with him and waiting for him to hit a purple patch like we did Pep's just going to role out Leroy Sane instead, and if his opportunities are restricted he's going to find it harder to find some form. I do feel for fans of Manchester City having to put up with the blinkered Algerian contingent though, some of them are beyond annoying.
Danizen Posted 24 April 2019 Posted 24 April 2019 It's mad that he's actually played 42 times for Man City this season and that's not enough. He played 41 times for us last season! (I know a lot of his appearances were from the bench but it's not like he's been frozen out)
