I fear that this will drag on for the rest of the month - I hope it doesn't unsettle our start to the campaign. Or someone has told Claudio saying this doesn't help the club in the media or when it comes to negotiations? in truth it's all one big game of brinkmanship. At least in this instance we hold all the cards! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Born and raised in the capital of France. His childhood friends? French. Probably grew up supporting France. Half your team only plays for you because they didn't think they were good enough for France. Brahimi? French. Benzia? French. Boudebouz? French. Feghouli? French. Taider? French. Ghoulam? French. Bentaleb? French. Ghezzal? French. Mesloub? French. Hanni? French. ****ing hell, I started this as a joke but I'm struggling to find anyone NOT French! (Amusingly, just Slimani!) Jesus Christ. Look, bud, I'm Welsh. I get it. Half our squad would have played for England if they were good enough and the likes of Ashley Williams probably regret his choice - just like Riyad probably does. No need to get salty about it. (Although I suppose I at least have Ramsey and Bale who are actually Welsh where as it looks like the "best team in Africa" is actually entirely France reserves.)

Stones was provided as an example of a player being distracted and having his head turned......Riyad is no different!!! I'm sure they did want to keep him, but they knew that wasn't going to happen. From the moment it became clear he wanted to talk to other clubs it's been about getting the fee they wanted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4everfox Posted 11 August 2016 Share Posted 11 August 2016 To be fair Riyads dad was a proud Algerian and a massive role model to Riyad, any choice Riyad made with regards to who to represent internationally would have been influenced by this.

Carmarthen, West Wales. Six of the twenty five Algerian squad born in Algeria, the rest French. Wow. To be fair, I've argued the opposite side of the toss hundreds of times on Foxes Talk, I'm always banging on about a person's right to self identify however they wish (usually when discussing Andy King and Rob Earnshsw!!)

st albans fox Posted 11 August 2016 Share Posted 11 August 2016 I have no evidence of this but i wonder if the two parties are trying to find common ground re the release clause around current market value. This would mean getting a fair offer made now for the player. Is this what mahrez' people have been trying to do re touting their man to arsenal?? Perhaps we have been trying to get Chelsea interested in making a proposal for the same reason, knowing it will be higher than wenger?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps because Algerians' invade other forms of social media and only comment about Mahrez. Perhaps because many Algerians have stated the won't hang around after Mahrez has left. No I am not racist either it's just the way most Algerians come across not caring for our club just Mahrez. But sorry I am a life long Leicester City fan and the club was here long before and will be long after any player. i can count the algerians in this forum with my fingers. so don't take algerian facebook fans into consideration. i stated from day one that i supported leicester whan they were in the tail end of the table. when mahrez was in the african cup of nation. when nigel pearson put him on the bench. i am not a bandwagoner. if i was i would be on the arsenal mania forum raving about him. will i support him if he playes in another club. yes. but will i leave leicester city because he is not here. thats a big fat NO!!!. so try to defrintiat between loyel good fans and just a countrymen fans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leicesterseddon Posted 11 August 2016 Share Posted 11 August 2016 From the sounds of things (not professing to have any inside knowledge btw): 1) We don't need the money and don't want to sell (especially so close to the window and with the season about to begin) 2) Mahrez is open to the possibility of staying, although his agent will obviously try to get him a pay rise if he does 3) Both Mahrez and his agent understandably want to keep the possibility of a 'dream move' open further down the tracks (fair enough) If we want to avoid him leaving this summer, the best solution for all seems to be to offer him a new contract with a higher wage. BUT I can only imagine that he'll sign up for this if it includes a realistic release clause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For most of my life, and I would imagine for most on here, I've supported a Leicester City team that have been muddling around in the second tier. To any of us, playing in the Premier League is just a massive achievement on its own, so to try and justify your support with this statement seems a bit ridiculous to me.

AlgerianFox Posted 11 August 2016 Share Posted 11 August 2016 Calm down Foxes. The only move Ryad is going to make is to Real or Barca. He is VERY happy at leicester and he supposedly lack of form has nothing to do with football. His wife is having a difficult pregnancy. Please think outside the box.
