Our finances are sound and our previous recruitment is reaping rewards. We will find new stars to cheer and we willl consolidate our position as best of the rest. What we can’t afford to have is a player who doesn’t want to be here so it’s thank you Mahrez and cherio! Great player for us wonderful memories but I feel he will like DD do a lot of bench warming. There are better players and even bigger egos there so let’s see how his career pans out. As for us let’s have faith in Claude , the owners, and as always us lucky foxes fans will enjoy the amazing ride that is LCFC Whilst I agree, we also need to make sure we don’t let them have our pants down. Why settle for £55m when to us he’s worth double that? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Almo-Fox Posted 31 January 2018 Share Posted 31 January 2018 I m sure that at 11.30 pm mahrez will still at the EPL but I m not sure about his mood - happy - unhappy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

koop. Posted 31 January 2018 Share Posted 31 January 2018 In today's market Mahrez is worth at LEAST £80M If we sell for less than that, i'd be amazed We don't need to sell, he's our best player Van Dijk for 75? Mahrez is £100M easy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've got two Europa League games, the League Cup final, and they've got to play Everton, Spurs and Man City. If we win tonight, our next three fixtures are Swansea (H), Man City (A) and Stoke (H) - not outrageous to see us beating Swansea and Stoke, and Arsenal losing to Spurs and Man City. And they still have us to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ll still be here long after the owners have moved on. A club is nothing without its supporters - of course it’s our club. Absolutely spot on.

st albans fox Posted 31 January 2018 Share Posted 31 January 2018 VVD is not a great reference point at 75 m the deal was nearer 60m but lpool had to pay the extra cos of their dodgy approach last summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callabinho Posted 31 January 2018 Share Posted 31 January 2018 It’s got to the stage where I don’t actually want him here anymore. He clearly feels he’s outgrown the club, and considering he’d probably still be in league 2 if it wasn’t for us can leave a bitter taste in the mouth. I don’t really care if he goes now, I’d just rather we get what we deserve and don’t get rinsed. But our owners are ruthless business men, and they will not allow him to leave for a cut fee... it’s what we do when he doesn’t go, tell him it’s all okay, or drop him to the bench for a few weeks and let Diabate have a go? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nalis Posted 31 January 2018 Share Posted 31 January 2018 (edited) We cant even send off the paperwork 14 seconds late to fvck them over as he's already a premier league registered player and would get dispensation because of that.

Arriba Los Zorros Posted 31 January 2018 Share Posted 31 January 2018 I do think it's best he goes now. We need to learn to be less dependent on him, and with relegation not a realistic scenario this season, we've got the 2nd half of the season to adapt our play to be more creative all over the pitch. That said, I do think we should get at least £70 m off them and then not spend it on the likes on Musa and Mendy please. Option 2 - Could we 'lend' Mahez to them for £20m for the next 2 months with an option to buy for a further £50m or he comes back to us? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the issue, losing him could be the difference between 6th europe and a cup final and finishing 13th. The prize money difference alone we could stand to lose means they should be made to pay a premium. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foxy boxing Posted 31 January 2018 Share Posted 31 January 2018 50 million when defenders are going from upwards of 50 - 60- million just feels really cheap for a PFA player of the year and a really creative player who can unlock defences Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack1993 Posted 31 January 2018 Share Posted 31 January 2018 Not to tempt fate but things really seem to have died off this morning in terms of new information apart from Sky Sports doing what they do best and shouting regurgitated news to make us believe that it's exciting. Mahrez is no longer trending on Twitter (Hardly newsworthy but it does give an indication of how many people are talking about it) The last reports from our side are that they'e nowhere near met our valuation and there's nothing to suggest that will change. I think 80% of us here are in the same boat - We wouldn't begrudge him the move as long as Manchester City meet our valuation, what exactly that valuation is I am not sure but I trust our owners enough to think that they will hold out for the right price. Some of you are saying that we should let him go because otherwise he will sulk for the rest of the season and not be at his best... Unfortunately we don't know this for certain, nor do our owners so in essence they are trying to make an informed decision on what is best for the club, ie "Will we get more than 60m in the summer if we ride out this storm", if this is the case then I would much rather our owners play hard ball, name their price and look strong than bend over, take the 1st or 2nd bid and look weak. Take the gamble guys, I certainly would... As always I might be absolutely wrong, in which case please don't call me out on it otherwise I'll cry like a small girl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddylcfc Posted 31 January 2018 Share Posted 31 January 2018 The timing of this is stinks but just curious, what fee would you accept? If any at all? Personally I’d let him for 70 million. In all likelihood he’ll be off in the summer and as prices notoriously drop in that window - I’d wave goodbye for that fee. We have Gray, Diabate and Albrighton to get us through this season and then the money can be reinvested for a big summer window! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoxinNotts Posted 31 January 2018 Share Posted 31 January 2018 As I've said, they should agree a pre-contract agreement (like Liverpool and Kieta), get it all lined up for the summer. £70m, and we all move on. Mahrez gets his head down, and gets us the FA cup and Europa qualification, we attract a replacement, (and have more time to find one). Everyone's a winner.

They can be creative... £60m cash, £10m add ons, write off £5m of the inheanacho money owed. There are ways of getting to £75m creatively. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
