Mahrez

[City Fan]

So Mahrez and Gylfi have both been priced at £50m.

You can only have one, which are you choosing?

I'll take Mahrez.

Sigurdsson. He might actually want to play here.

Does he? I wouldn't bet against him ending up at Goodison with his old team mate Williams

I did say "might". Mahrez definitely doesn't.

Quite happy to keep playing POTY Mahrez, not so sure about post-POTY Mahrez.

If he does then fair enough. I reckon there's more chance of him wanting to play for us than Mahrez does.

If only it were that simple.

90% plus professional football players just want to get paid (as much as possible) to play, and enjoy it. They don't really give a shite what shirt they're wearing at the time.

One factor for Mahrez might have been the fuss around Slimani. They're clearly good mates but the rest of the squad haven't taken to Slimani at all. Rumous abound of Vardy disliking him intensely and the body language on the pitch last season indicated that Slimani wasn't loved by his team mates by the second half of the season.

Maybe it's been awkward being Mahrez in that situation. Stuck between team mates and a mate. Maybe Slimani leaving might make things a lot easier for Mahrez this season. If nobody offers big money for him of course.

Mahrez was even worse in the first half of the season than the second. How does your rumour mill account for that.

 

[Mike - True Blue Tinter]

Because everyone was crap first half the season because Ranieri banned chicken nuggets.

Slimani just got on everyone's tits all season.

 

[Lako42]

I don't think making things up about who shares chicken nuggets with who is really helpful.

Mahrez doesn't want to play for us, Slimani or no Slimani.

Always thought provoking posts from you, BN. It's easy to forget that being rich doesn't help your head stay straight, and that even in a professional environment, not everyone is professional. I imagine this is particularly true for footballers, especially if they've not played in a multicultural team to any great lengths before.

Yes, they should be able to get over it, but they can't always do so.

Exhibit A - Wayne Brown.

Mahrez wanted by Roma apparently

Hahaha, he'd win less than he did here.

Now down to £30million...

At least there's now a bid on the table, so hopefully the beginning of the end of all this bollocks

I would sell him to Roma for that amount. Then spend a while laughing at the stupid fool.

Hopefully he will stay and laugh at Arsenal next season.

Why?

He has openly stated he doesn't want to play for Leicester City anymore. Why would you want a player who doesn't want to play for the club to stay?

He's made it about as clear as possible, both on and off the pitch.

As has Ulloa - now rewarded for his mardy arsed misery with a fat pay rise

People are allowed to change their minds. And attitude.
