The Mahrez Saga

[City Fan]

Saudis, Qataris easy to mix up two families robbing off with the oil wealth of their entire nations and then frittering it away on toys

Not Saudis either. Try again.

Some Birmingham fans probably think we mugged them off with how little we paid for Demarai Gray.

They won’t think that any more if they’ve seen any of his performances over the past 2.5 seasons.

He looks as good as Hossein Kaebi.

many thanks

For the past few years we have been dating an absolute stunner and she has provided us with the most thrilling ride.

Reality has now dawned and she has seen the man with the tan and the fancy sports car.

Thanks alot Riyad. You have been sensational and the best thing I have witnessed in a Leicester City shirt.

The deal should be a straight swap. Mahrez and Morgan for Aguero and De Bruyne. Alternatively, it's $100 million plus Sane.

If we make a poorer deal than those two options then we've been screwed over.

$100 million

Australian dollars or American?

Best player we've ever had, him and Vardy are something else together. 60 with addons is probably a reasonable price at this point, and I'd be very tempted to take it. As long as it's wisely reinvested - we can't replace him, but we can try and get some more creativity in.

MANCHESTER CITY are set to land Riyad Mahrez for a knockdown fee — but it will still break their transfer record.

The Premier League champions believe they can grab the Leicester ace for £60million.

Looks like it's imminent.

I'll still be absolutely gutted to see him go, but we've known it was coming.

£60m + £15m add-ons seems a reasonable price - particularly as those add-ons are likely to be paid if it's based on team success, considering he's going to Man City. I'll wish him well and will always be a fan of his.

Just hope we invest the money wisely on good players. Nobody will replace Riyad but we still need quality creative players with that money.

 

[dpjfox]

Maybe the delay is us not releasing until we sign replacement. The £60mill is fair but if the "add-ons" are based on appearances we best be carefull. The add-ons should be based on Man City achievements

Perhaps part of the deal is the agreement on Roberts moving the other way simultaneously?

 

[Mike - True Blue Tinter]

Can we have Rudkin moving the other way as well?

60 million quid is not reasonable in the current football climate. Anything less than 100 million quid is unreasonable.

Yea but little old leicester aren't allowed to sell players for that much money.

If he'd played for Liverpool and won absolutely **** all he'd be worth a fortune

Apparently one of the issues with gaining a large fee is that Riyad is desperate to go and there is only one team showing a serious interest.

He looks like he's being held hostage here! Clearly hoping he never plays in this kit .
