brucey Posted 28 July 2016 Share Posted 28 July 2016 Even if he did want to leave (which I'm confident he doesn't), does anyone seriously think he would breathe a word about it to anyone before the Barca friendly on 3rd Aug? Claudio has said he will bench players thinking of leaving, I cannot imagine Mahrez risking not playing on the same pitch as his idol Messi. After that, who knows.. but with the Community Shield game 4 days later, he'll probably be too busy training to think about leaving until after that game.. Then he'll probably feel too guilty to abandon us a week before PL starts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glen parva fox Posted 28 July 2016 Share Posted 28 July 2016 If you look on the newsnow website it's a done deal 37 million. Hope it's all boll...., just like all the crap that was about when Jamie Vardy was supposed to be signing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

st albans fox Posted 28 July 2016 Share Posted 28 July 2016 It is intriguing that the price has reverted all the way back to 44m euros. That was the price reported on Eurosport sat am. Since then it got altered to 44m pounds and now back again. It's feasible that the same info from sat am has been rehashed through the Algerian website/newspaper. They claim it has come from an English journo close to the club. bit weird. People think if has substance as it comes out of Algeria. But the article attributes its info to here! And Riyad is from France, not Algeria. I would expect hard info to end up coming from France, not algreria. Clearly he has family in Algeria but any people in the know would be in France.

If he is going to go, the club knows, and is working on the deal/replacement (the Polish kid ain't that). Frankly, if someone pulled a "surprise, I want to leave after telling you I was going to stay because I wanted to play in a friendly against Barca", I would hope CR would say "Good for you! I don't want unhappy players on my team! But I don't mind unhappy players on my U23-team! Win me the EFL Trophy." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
volpeazzurro Posted 28 July 2016 Share Posted 28 July 2016 Arsenal imo would surely be a retrograde move. Perrenial failures that manage to qualify year after year for the Champions League but then make feeble attempts to win it by fielding weaker teams in the earlier rounds. Think Sanchez and Ozil have cottoned on to this and are just as likely to move as Marhez ! In which case what sort of poor outfit would he be joining? Lose those two players and I think Arsenal will implode. I just wish on this one occasion our owners would make a statement of intent along the lines of : As Premiership Champions Leicester City are still building for the future and have no need whatsoever to sell any of their players. With regards to Marhez he has signed a 4yr deal and in any case in the current market we value him in excess of £80m. We are looking to buy not sell. Hopefully that would shut the dunderheads in the press off our case a bit. .......unless of course there is some truth to it. Sod this unhappy players bollocks, Marhez signed a contract and rather than him go to a direct Premiership rival I'd sooner see him languishing in the stiffs for 3 years.

Bob Hazels shorts Posted 28 July 2016 Share Posted 28 July 2016 We have been linked, bid and missed out on players Keane for one as their clubs do not want to sell. I'm sure if Keane and others asked for a transfer their clubs would persuade, if that failed set a price that suited the selling club. We don't want to sell ( I assume) so we don't have to. Going rate for PFA player of the year- Suarez 65M Bale 80M His agent would use any high fee we ask to frighten as a bargaining tool for any revised contract though.

Benguin Posted 28 July 2016 Share Posted 28 July 2016 Seems happy in all the pics and he's clearly still training so hopefully that is a good sign. If the reports are true 37mill is hugely below what we should accept. 75 mill or gtfo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Kingson Posted 28 July 2016 Share Posted 28 July 2016 I've not seen one reputable report about this - normally you'd get every journo gossiping about it on Twitter. It might blow up eventually, but I'm not worried right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazly Posted 28 July 2016 Share Posted 28 July 2016 Mrs Mahrez has told Riyad to stay already so this is just positioning to get a better pay packet than Vardy. I think he deserves it and £120k a week wouldn't be unreasonable seeing he has a few more years in him and if he can land PFA two years running the owners could move him on for £80mn next Summer.

ARM1968 Posted 28 July 2016 Share Posted 28 July 2016 Roll with it guys. His wife's from round our way I'm led to believe. He's trying to be a better man right now rather than someone born on a different cloud. Just hope our owners don't acquiesce or its back to the cigarettes and alcohol for me.

That lad who we got linked with from Brentford confirmed that on SSN the other day. He was genuinely laughing when he got asked about rumours that we were interested in him. Football journalism is such a weird profession. I think it's one of the only jobs where you can flat out lie and see no reprocussions because everyone just expects it. Weird.

st albans fox Posted 28 July 2016 Share Posted 28 July 2016 JV back in training this morning hope he can try and change his mind if it's necessary by the way, was told by someone in LA that he isn't looking as smiley as the photos would have you believe. He doesn't have the N'golo permanent smile And the arsenal ITK's who think that a deal is done with riyad - may well be true but he may have done a deal to extracate the most money from us. like I said before - strangely quiet from reliable sources Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know a lot about Welsh football, I follow Welsh footballers, but I'd never go on to Eagletalk and presume to tell Palace fans what's going on with Wayne Hennessy. I think they'd know better than anyone else. Why these weird Mahrez obsessives seem to think they know more than sources around the club, I'll never know. I can confirm that even Riyad's Algerian barber has no idea where he's going. Not sure if I've mentioned this before, but he goes to my barber. Did you ask for a Riyad?

As far as Algerian journalists go , lebuteur ones are the most reliable.Now Mahrez is on 30k/w will he stay and play for that much this year, no way he will play for that this year , so either he renews this week or he has decided to leave may be to Arsenal or somewhere else. after all it s business and you play where you get fame, more money and in a team that can go all the way and win something, this is likely to happen in Arsenal more than LCFC this year tbh More likely to get fame playing for Arsenal. What like last season? Mate, everyone and their mums want a ticket on the Leicester train. More likely to earn more money at Arsenal. Possibly, but we could definitely make a very competitive offer. More likely to win a trophy at Arsenal. What like last season? I'm willing to wager a bet if your willing to participate and that bet is that Leicester win a trophy before Arsenal do, of this I am supremely confident. Why can't Arsenal fans get off their high horse and realise that currently Leicester are better then Arsenal, proven fact of life. I find things like the above patronising and quite frankly, deluded.
