The Mahrez Saga

[Skitzo]

just sell the little shit now I'm sick of this crap every transfer window, let him rot on their bench, he'll be wishing he stayed by the summer

 

[TornadoShaunUK]

Yeah it's pathetic behaviour. We could so easily just tell him if that's going to be how he is then he can get stuffed and spend the next two years or so on the bench or in the u23s... Sick of him now, I actually want us to get rid but still don't want to us to accept a bad deal. We should stand firm and only let him go if we receive a fair offer.

 

[sparky79]

Not sure about Mangala to be honest. He's been absolute garbage when i've seen him and wouldn't take kindly to being pinged off without proper consultation.
I'd take Delph or Foden - or both.
I'd definitely prefer if it was £65m AND another player.

BTW If we've shipped out Ulloa, Slimani and Musa in the window then we need another striker as we'd only have Iheanacho as proper back up for Vardy before we go to youth team strikers.

How much of this is actually true? I’m in France and therefore haven’t seen much coverage, but comments in here from this newspaper and that newspaper don’t really mean a lot to me. Have the club said anything, or has Mahrez’s camp said anything?

VVD didn't play for about a year and the year before that when he did play, he was average at best.

Still didn't stop him being sold for £75m.

If we sell for anything less in cash we are mental.

No, but then they won't say anything until the deal's done. Mahrez won't want to jeopardise any potential deal (or end up looking stupid ... think airport!). The club won't say anything until it's all cut and dried.

 

[LoopisDeLupis]

We cannot possibly have settled for a deal worth a total of 65m. Not considering the VVD price and Coutinho's transfer fee. I just cannot believe that Top would do it. Unless the player on offer is Aguerooooooo?

 

[LoopisDeLupis]

Oh my god I wonder if it is Aguero? He's getting on a bit and

The guardian are saying Sky say the 65 million includes the value of the other player.

Both suggestions in one report here.

 

[M17TT C]

Do they still have Richard Wright on their books??

 

[fitz]

Whatever player it is won't be worth much more than £10m given that their last offer was £55m and now it's £65m with a player.

It's a cunning plan. Offer 55m, then offer 50m plus Mangala. We then ask if the 55m is still on offer.

 

[Blaarev]

probably not Mangala since he’s strongely rumoured to be going to Everton on loan

 

[Lako42]

If we end up selling Mahrez for Mangala and some cash then Ill have to stop laughing at Palace signing Schlupp for £15m, and that will piss me right off.

 

[Graz]

I wouldn’t want Mangala. Especially if that meant getting less for Mahrez.

Slimani pictured having arrived in Newcastle for his medical.

5 Live said Mahrez news is only quiet because little has changed; Man City have made offers but we’re still saying we won’t sell. Good to hear. But there’s a long way to go still today...

 

[Klaus Hergersheimer]

£65m + Shaun Goater + Lee Bradbury + Rodney Marsh should swing it.

Indeed there is. Who's going to blink first? If either.

Deal off now according to SSN!

Mahrez that is.

 

[TommyK]

Deal off now according to SSN!

Mahrez that is.

It's never been 'on'.

 

[Jeff]

If we're not selling him today I hope he doesn't behave like a **** for the rest of the season trying to force us to sell him.

Mahrez that is.
