Mahrez

[SwedeFox]

In my head he's gone and perhaps has been for a season. Not a perfect situation but if we don't get £40m for him I will be stunned.

You will be very disappointed cambo. The price will (unfortunately) not reflect ability but the willingness among the parties to strike a deal. Mahrez wants out meaning we will have to sell him while other clubs are not as keen as last year = low price.

****ing shit. Not unexpected but shit.

Agree with Jeff, this wasn't coordinated with the club.

It sounds to me like it was coordinated last summer and Mahrez is making sure it happens.

 

[Mawsley]

Yeah when your spending 30+ on a player you definitely don't watch him week in and out. WTF?

You don't if, like us real men, you have a supermodel for a girlfriend. And then there's the time it takes to shag Lazzer's supermodel girlfriend. It all eats in to any time left over to watch player videos and go to games. Right, off to **** Ted's bit of fluff now...

 

[pork pie fox]

Sanchez and/or Ozil leave Arsenal. Mahrez signs for them for £30m-£35m ish. TB goes into meltdown, but not as much as FT, where people post live vids of themselves slashing their wrists.

Might not happen. Just my prediction.

Bye bye boy wonder and thank you for some of the greatest memories I will ever have as a fan of LCFC.

Class and skill are permanent.

This is a falsehood repeated too often.

 

[FIF]

Very similar situation really. Player who was fantastic one season, stayed at West Ham and didn't look half the player the next.

Well we can listen to you because you watch every game of every season of every team.

Exactly. That is because I am a whole scouting department at a top club.

but you are a fan. If you look at the quote you attacked it said nothing about whole scouting department - though you overestimate them too :

Managers and other teams fans didn't see him week in week out. They'll think that they can get the "other" Mahrez to work for them.

My view? #lcfc have no need to sell. And won't let Mahrez, PFA POTY, go for less than £40m in inflated market. Gray desperate for games tho.

Sources: NO buyout clause in Mahrez 3yr contract. #lcfc want to keep him & won't sell unless bid matches his standing in European football.

Gutted he wants to go, the guy is without doubt the most technically gifted footballer ever to wear our colours, but as he clearly wants out and as this season has just shown the time has come to part company for the best interests of all parties.

I just hope everybody is fair and try's to protect the best interests of all parties, for me a fee of £40m would be decent business really hope we don't become too greedy and look for a minimum of £50m and potentially end up with a very unhappy player or worse still a long protracted transfer saga right through the window, only for him to leave on deadline day leaving us with little opportunity to use the cash.

IMO we need to push hard to make a deal happen quickly and then use the summer to put our plans in place, it also allows Shakey the maximum to time to plan a system and pattern without Mahrez

Or better still push hard to put our plan in place and then sell him to recuperate cash. The club must put themselves first as they did with Ranieri.

How often do fans buy players for there clubs?

 

[H T B]

One positive of Riyad going, we should be playing each game with 11 players

 

[Lako42]

There was a competition in the football league where they got £250k to spend.

Don't think that applies to us though

 

[bocadillo]

One positive of Riyad going, we should be playing each game with 11 players

... the second positive thing being that the opposition won't have 13.

 

[FIF]

"their"

Stupid question.

How often do scouts buy them? (and you still believe that team's scouts watch every second of every game a player plays)

and irrelevant as I was talking about perception which is far more important in business today. Fans of clubs want Mahrez because of what they've seen on MOTD.

Agreed apparently Wenger is interested but I do not think he would pay 40+ I would be happy for 20+ and Waldcott he is a special player and will be missed IMO
