I think you havent even read my posts explaining why, because if you did you would realise it would be poor value for us. Getting relegated costs even for just one season down around 80 million. Merit payments from 17th to 7th circa 20 million revenue, for one single season. Our owners run a multi billion dollar business. We are the 14th richest club in the world (based on clubs own income). We play in the richest league in the world. Its 2018 not 1990, outgoing transfer fees dont rule our transfer budget. I think we struggling to even spend what existing budget we have. Its hard to get in high quality players who want to play for your club, especially at a reasonable price. How does this 70million help LCFC? think i read your post before and upvoted it. like i said, it's for the long run. we are not getting relegated this season and puel is building a great team. we need to try and have 2,3,4 or even 5 other players like mahrez. paint the picture of the "nice" and "easy going" board so the young talents would choose us over southampton, chelsea and maybe spurs. rome wasn't built in a day, first we overlap southampton, than everton and then spurs. try and make the club as desirable as possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t need the circus every window On the flip side to your arguement selling him too cheap would set a precedent that we are pushovers and therefore we’d continue to be lowballed for our players. I think our owners have been fair. He shouldn’t have signed the deal if he had qualms about honouring it Totally this. We can't have players thinking they can kick off the day before the window closes and we'll just bend to their whim. It's not just about precedent either, it's principle. If the players are pissed off they're going to be even more miffed if he actually gets his way and some of them might think they can do the same in future. I think we should hang on to him at all costs today and if he doesn't want to play ball (literally) then leave him in the reserves for 4 months. Then keep reminding him if another club really wanted him they'd put in a much better offer and they wouldn't leave it until the last minute. Even if this is purely to make a point, so be it. We can spend the next few months stepping up our scouting to find a 'replacement', and strengthen the squad in general. When we're prepared, and only when we're prepared, he can go. But this last minute throwing a wobbly stuff on deadline day can't be allowed to happen. Edited 31 January 2018 by Kitchandro 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajthefox Posted 31 January 2018 Share Posted 31 January 2018 I'd take £70m now. It's decent money for him and it gets this whole sorry saga over. My guess is that this may well impact his form if he doesn't get sold and I think we probably aren't likely to get much more than that in summer anyway unless he plays his socks off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vestan Pance Posted 31 January 2018 Share Posted 31 January 2018 8 minutes ago, purpleronnie said: Kinda strange that despite him being one of the best players in the premiership and desperately wanting to leave that top clubs with huge wealth cant fork up 80-90m when they'll happy to pay more than that for untested premiership players. As brilliant as he is, maybe his value in the game is reduced by the apparent sulks and twice trying to manipulate a cheaper move (for the buyer) by handing in a last minute transfer request. If he hadn't signed what to Leicester City is a huge contract, he could have had his pick of destinations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote 2pm: Leicester players are reportedly fuming at Riyad Mahrez after he handed in a transfer request at the club. Sky Sports News presenter Natalie Sawyer revealed how his transfer approach has angered his Leicester team-mates. “Just getting some information about the Riyad Mahrez situation,” Sawyer said. “We’re understanding that a number of the Leicester players are angry and feel let down by him with the fact that he has had to put in this second transfer request."

From an objective point of I wish he would understood that he never really was their priority and wait for the summer whilst maintaining his performances. Bids would have come one way or another. On the other side, UCL, PL, Guardiola... That's enough to motivate a move. Especially if he thinks he has a chance to force his way there (and he has one named Sterling). I personally blame MTV.
