Sol thewall Bamba Posted 19 July 2016 Share Posted 19 July 2016 I would seriously take Lloyd Dyer 2013/14 over Raheem fvcking Sterling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddylcfc Posted 19 July 2016 Share Posted 19 July 2016 I personally think Riyad leaving isn't a bigger blow than say Vardy or Kante leaving. Ngolo's key attributes and skills, are IMO, repeatable more frequently than what Riyad's are. We've seen flair players in the past have a fall from grace after a successful season. Take Hazard for example. Defenders have learnt that his main threat is cutting in from the left. Im not saying for one minute Riyad would fail miserably next season but i think he'll be targeted more next season and teams will give him special attention that he possibly didn't get last season, especially at the start. Clearly I hope he stays but i think he's replaceable, unlike Kante. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koke Posted 19 July 2016 Share Posted 19 July 2016 People are not rating Sterling. Neither do I. This is why Im generally anti speed merchants, unless they have real end product (Vardy, Henry etc). Most speed merchants do not though, most just run in straight lines and are brain dead. Think of the best strikers in the game today. Lewandowski, Suarez, Costa, Aguero, Zlatan, Higuain. None of them have exceptional speed (decent speed but not rapid), but they have tremendous skill and a functioning brain. But here in England we hype up brain dead pace merchants like Walcott, Sterling, SWP, Lennon. We produce a million of them, but very few like Mahrez and David Silva.

Where does my logic say that? we (Leicester City) were the best team, and it is a team game remember, in the league last season. Mahrez wouldn't of played any better with any other team.

MattCan Posted 19 July 2016 Share Posted 19 July 2016 2 hours ago, Beliall said: Mahrez was 400k, and an unkown quantity This is how ridiculously under-valued the guy was. He didn't even have a release clause like may others have. Did he even have a piece of contract paper (lol). I wouldn't be surprised if his wages were even lower than most of the starting eleven. I think he hasn't been praised enough for blindly trusting the club with his career. Now, the club can place a sale price of 45m pounds on him, a thing they couldn't do with Vardy or Kante.

CR and the unhappy players thing. Now maybe quoted as he would want 45m + for rihad. That's an invite for every team in Europe to bid. Why is this all going on? If true, would it make rihad feel wanted, or just a golden goose to us. Are we planning a different way of playing next season. Hope that article is pure bs.

If he wants to go and the owners have a price in mind that they would sell for then perhaps inviting all the clubs in Europe to become involved in a bidding war will get us a higher price? However, he would know where he wants to go so it becomes a bit academic. Easiest option is to keep him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
