It is. But I'm following Riyad's example and I've decided I'm not going to bother turning up for work today.

How'd you guess? Are you stalking me?

Yes I hang around service stations and schools.
Incidentally, did your teacher ever stop you from going to the toilet?
A "new" member posted another thread about that yesterday. Deleted and banned immediately this time.

Many times. It was my dream to go to the toilet. But my teacher, a stubborn Thai man, wouldn't let me go. It made me very depressed.

I wonder how many weeks we don't pay him for before he decides he would like to play again

I suspect a lot of the words being quoted are those of frustration from his agent, who was hoping for a nice payday.

Seems fair enough to me. The club did the right thing.
Leicester City asked for £80million cash for Riyad Mahrez, but Manchester City were only willing to offer £50m plus a player they valued at £15m, the Mercury understands.
Leicester were in conversation with Man City throughout the deadline day afternoon over a possible move for Mahrez to the Etihad Stadium.
Initially, the Premier League leaders made a cash-only offer but then threw in a player as well that took the whole package to £65m as they rated the mystery player at £15m
Leicester did not agree with Man City's valuation of the player whose identity is unknown at this stage.
Eventually, they handed Man City an ultimatum that if the deal was going to be done it would be for £80m without the player.

Quotes from Mahrez in that piece - zero. Crap journalism at it's best.

I see that the 'I will never play for you again' is not in quotation marks, so could have been said by his agent or possibly just made up.
If any of this stuff is true then Mahrez needs to sort his attitude out otherwise nobody will come in for him in the summer. I am confident that if Mahrez just sulks, Puel will just bench him, or leave him out of the squad altogether.

I'm fairly sure that the club will play this cool now. If Mahrez plays in his 2016/17 mode then Leicester City is as good as it gets for him. If he downs tools from training for any significant time then clubs will assume that he is trouble and his career will likely implode. His only sensible way forward is to do the job he's well paid to do and then make everyone happy by -------off with the first sensible bid in the summer. Impossible to estimate the size of that bid until we see how he reacts.

I feel quite certain Mahrez said nothing like that headline.

Apparently not showed up for training again today. Not surprised really, maybe we would be best to give him a day or two and let it calm down a bit but at the same time, he needs to ****in grow a pair..

Do they usually have training the day after a night away game, especially with a short turnaround to the next game?
