Koke Posted 20 July 2016 Share Posted 20 July 2016 1 hour ago, Ric Flair said: Well Ranieri is never one for making claims about players that aren't in any way true. He's usually non-committal about direct questions if unsure so unless this is a new tactic to pressure Mahrez then I'm content it's probably true. IIRC back in January Ranieri was asked about signing Amartey and he said he had never heard of Amartey before and didnt even know who he was. 3 days later or so Daniel Amartey is a City player. So Ranieri clearly lied. I will believe Mahrez will stay when the window closes. Managers and players are not to be fully trusted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's usually non-committal about direct questions if unsure so unless this is a new tactic to pressure Mahrez then I'm content it's probably true. I'm sure Mahrez has said he's happy and would stay to Ranieri, I don't think he's say that in public if he hadn't. But I think Ranieri said the same months ago, things change, people change their minds, offers get put on the table that weren't there before. Personally, it's plus he said that to Ranieri whenever it was, but I'm certainly not taking it as a given he'll be here come the start of the season.

Guest CityFan 06 Posted 20 July 2016 Share Posted 20 July 2016 The partnership/link up play between Mahrez & Vardy was absolutely fantastic last season, if we can keep these two together it'd be such a boost for us. Again another partnership of class was Drinkwater & Vardy last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any chance you can give me the lotto numbers for tonight plse. how do you know CR lied. Last summer we were still active looking for players before we had named a manager. We have a recruitment team and no manager would have time to scout around the world. So the chances are he had never heard of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Managers and players conceal the truth all the time, so my statement is hardly outrageous. Its a plus that Ranieri has come out and said Mahrez told him he wants to stay, but I wont take it as a guarantee. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattCan Posted 20 July 2016 Share Posted 20 July 2016 I feel that many clubs are thinking about Mahrez but still hesitating to submit the bid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also expect 2 big teams to make offers after they have seen him in the flesh ripping them to bits. These glamour pre season games may not be such a good thing.

He'll be off so best to get used to it now. Shame really cus if him and chubby chops had stayed I think with the new additions we could have won the Champions league.

Dames Posted 20 July 2016 Share Posted 20 July 2016 He wouldn't risk making Mahrez unhappy by publicly putting words in his mouth. I'm taking this one at face value - he's staying! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a little different than specifically saying a player is staying. Why risk the fans wrath if it's not true and why potentially alienate yourself from the player in question. Ranieri knows what he's doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why risk the fans wrath if it's not true and why potentially alienate yourself from the player in question. Ranieri knows what he's doing. Exactly this. With the owners in town i'm sure they have been busy trying to sort out contracts and steady the ship. Mahez will have his pay rise which will give him a higher starting wage when he goes and his agent will get a bigger cut of a massive transfer fee. Hopefully the club will be sick of getting bent over by over clubs, so when the time comes for Mahrez to go they Fuch the club over with a massive fee 50m+ and lots of back end bonus payments. People are happy take the word of a French journalist/faceless blog on twitter or BBC gossip page but not when it comes out of the managers mouth. Sometimes I feel Claudio stumbles a little with the UK press when they fire a question off to him quickly, it gets a little lost in translation and they tend to take him literally. English is his 3rd or 4th language. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
