Mahrez

Mahrez will turn it down. No mention of unlimited Monster Munch.

It's wedges they're all into now, grandad.

Doesn't that hurt?

Not if its done gently.

Rejoice! Our little Algerian genius is back in training tomorrow.

Let's hope the players work on him and he ends up staying put.

Similarly to how the owners persuaded him to last season? Didn't work out particularly well did it?

If his hearts not in it, he needs to leave.

if he's going to be the sulky like waste of a place as last season no thanks

Well at least he's gone and answered my original question some 650 posts ago...

What was the question again?!

So we want 50 Million and Arsenal are willing to pay 35 Million

Then don't sell him.

£35m is peanuts in today's market.

I think don't sell as well. Make him work for his transfer the lazy bastard!

Whilst it would be great to take this attitude, it would be very counter productive.

But wouldn't taking just £35M in this current climate be just as crazy? At least when holding out for more there might be a chance (albeit small) that he will give something in return? Or am I on a different planet?

I get what you're saying, and yes I agree that £35m is a little low. But if he stays next season and his heart isn't in it, like last season, the fee would be down to £15-20m next summer.

I'd almost rather take the £35m now and move on, and invest it elsewhere before the window ends. Yes we could keep Arsenal waiting and perhaps get another couple of million for him on 31st August...but then we'll have ran out of time to invest it in other areas that need strengthening.

Some good points for the opposite of what I suggested. I'm glad it's not me having to decide what to do. My gut says **** him and take the loss if he's shit this season.

I just want to say before anyone gets cross at me that he's easily the best footballer I've seen playing for Leicester and an absolute genius. But last season was a joke.

35m for a former PFA player of the year, 26 year old with Champions League experience is ridiculous...consider the cost of Siggurdson (sp?) as an example.

If we let him leave for that we will be exposed as a soft touch and agents, players and clubs will be trying one on forevermore.

If his performances put clubs off last year it'll be up to him to address it. He's not going to get someone to bid 50m sitting in the ressies and we shouldn't sell for less.

Yeah, I have to agree.
