TeaMen Tom Posted 12 September 2020 Share Posted 12 September 2020 Claude's been through this before with Mahrez. Which is one thing you can say in Puel's defense - he never really got the best of Mahrez. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine we haven't done that yet though despite the reports. Probably because we are hoping that him throwing his toys out the pram, is going to mean that they settle for a lower price in order to get him out of their dressing room, and upseting their team harmony. Maybe we have even been encouraging him to do it. It doesn`t sit well with me either way, but the power is all with the players these days, and it`s just the way football has gone. As has already been said though, if he does end up here, and proves himself to be a top quality player, he will most likely be doing the same here to try and get his desired move when the time comes.

ALC Fox Posted 12 September 2020 Share Posted 12 September 2020 I have to admit, I'm liking the fact he had a good game when there's fire in his belly and he wants to move. I know they're vastly different players in terms of reputation, experience and ability, but compare that to Virgil Van Dijk's drop-off in form for Southampton when Liverpool's initial approach for him failed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This place is an extension of matchdays for me. I have to be reasoned and reasonable, in most of the other areas of my life, but my football is mine and my inner caveman needs a little love too 😘 Undoubtedly but that’s football these days. If a fair price is put in for them and they see career progression they will pursue it as best they can, as have so many players we have ended up selling as a result. I honestly don’t see the point in that, drop the we are Leicester attitude the minute I leave the stadium (or turn the tv off these days) but that said I can take a bit of bias, I don’t think you quite get the extents some people go to that have grated me over the years. Such as wanting Kante removed from Mural, actively lavishing in Drinkwaters personal issues, having a good laugh at Magiure making a terrible decision and missing out on CL football by leaving Leicester until it all turns around on them in the last leg of the season and then it’s obviously because the league is fixed. I actually respect some of the posters in relation to the last one that made it worse, makes the forum a difficult read. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will give his response this evening on the ground, and it's a beautiful response. I guess it comes down to what you think a "beautiful" response is.' He's saying he has given his response on the pitch, not that he will give his response. I take it to mean he played well and that is his beautiful response. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
