Money talks though in this day and age for the majority Not just money though tbf. He's gone to club that will challenge for the league, FA Cup, League Cup and Champions League. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a long time since I’ve been there …. At back it can be but it's alright if you get middle/nearer front. I've been several times and only got stuck at back once. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danizen Posted 15 August 2021 Share Posted 15 August 2021 18 minutes ago, StevieLynex said: He also stayed for two seasons with us after the title win. It was a shame that his talents were wasted during that period when we were really poor - that was not his fault. I have to disagree with this. His motivation had completely gone. He was almost like a different player for large periods of those last two seasons, even when we were playing well. That's why I'd be against him coming back under any circumstances. We wouldn't be getting the 15/16 Mahrez who was the best player in the league at that time. We'd be getting a sulking passenger who thinks he's too big to play for us. He was undoubtedly one of the best players we've had and I'll give him the credit he deserves but let's not rewrite history. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without Mahrez, we would never have won the Premier League. Also disagree but guess we will have to agree to disagree! One player alone didn't and wouldn't win the league, the team and manager, backroom staff and previous back room staff did. I wish he had stayed HD could have won trophies with us, competed in Champions leagues, and played a lot more football instead of bench warming, then he would be a legend. We have a good project here, a team where you can play weekly and win something. I think players are starting to see that now. A club on the up. Mahrez may well have been rotting somewhere in the French league had Pearson and the club not taken a risk in bringing him here. The first year or so he looked very lightweight, the club did a lot of work with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Players who go the 'big' clubs will, by deafault, win trophies because money talks and they have the best players around. It's no great achievement, but it helps their profile to be 'winning trophies'.Wonder whether Kane will get to experience this feeling this season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nod.E Posted 15 August 2021 Share Posted 15 August 2021 Oh look, Ederson unable to make a decent save when asked. There's a surprise. Bloke is the most overhyped player in premier League history. Does a few things very well like coming for crosses and his distribution of course. Ask him to make a save and he can't. Fraud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s football it happens. Plenty of people on here regard Cambiasso as a club legend, yet didn’t do anywhere near as much as Mahrez did for us. People throw the word legend around too easily these days, Cambiasso also not a legend. To me anyone who ****s off for more money at the first opportunity is a greedy bellend not a legend, but that's just me I guess. I have no interest in players who think they are better or bigger than my club. Kante is a fantastic player, world class and a top bloke but he is not a Leicester Legend. A legend is someone who give their all, their life to the club, puts their body on the line, even if they are not technically that good. Vardy, Schmeichel and Morgan are Legends in the current crop. Sadly legends are a dying breed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is on the money and why a large portion of our fanbase have a sour taste about him. It was apathy and a bad attitude. Which is really incredible considering the role we played for him. He was entitled to feel aggrieved but to not give his best, coupled with the parting shots, showed a real lack of humility and awareness of his position.

The first few games I saw him he was easily brushed aside by some thuggish championship defenders! I think Pearson and and Shakespeare worked on him to give the strength to play in the English game. He is no doubt a fantastic player and a joy to watch on his day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy King is a Legend, he was here when we were shit, he could have moved but stayed, won the lot with us, despite being a slightly better than average midfielder. I think we are misunderstanding the word and meaning of legend, a legend might not necessarily be the best. The others are fantastic talents no doubt, but if you spend only one year at LCFC you are not a legend here in my view. A legend status comes in time with a prolonged period of success hence Schmeichel, Morgan, Vardy. Edited 15 August 2021 by Foxin_Mad 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
