Dave Posted May 25, 2018 Author Posted May 25, 2018 I think he would have been better suited for one of the three big London clubs in all honesty, but I'm looking forward to seeing how Pep improves him as a player.

They're one of the reasons the market is so inflated. Yeah that's about market value for him. And yeah clubs like them are why thr market is crazy now. Granted we're not innocent either. We sell to spend, but we demanded some crazy money from Coutinho. And then we dropped crazy money for VvD. At the beginning of the summer, some signings that first seemed expensive now look like total bargains after Neymar. It's totally fucking mental. I wish we could compete City for his signature though. We need to have quality in depth if we want to stay fighting the top sides. We've got a great front 3, but the depth isn't great compared to the Manchester clubs.
Subscriber Dan+ Posted June 20, 2018 Subscriber Posted June 20, 2018 Whispers that it may fall through. Neither club is willing to budge. I reckon he leaves us and ends up at Chelsea or Man Utd.

Administrator Stan Posted July 3, 2018 Administrator Posted July 3, 2018 obviously still gutted to see him go but equally glad to see this saga finally over and have no deadline day 'drama'.
Dave Posted July 3, 2018 Author Posted July 3, 2018 Interesting that there seems to be no inflation of fees this transfer window.

Last summer they inflated to perverse amounts after the Neymar to PSG move... This year it's about getting your deals done before Real Madrid get into action.
Subscriber Dan+ Posted July 3, 2018 Subscriber Posted July 3, 2018 We both need the deal doing really, annoying that it seems like we've blinked first though. Problem is the longer it goes on the more it could eat into our contingency plans for replacing him. Doesn't surprise me that it's going to happen this week or next as both teams are finally back for pre-season - he's not due in for us until next week due to Algeria playing international friendlies. I think in hindsight this will look a decent priced move. Quote me on this in 12 months time but I think Mahrez will be considered an absolutely top bracket player when he's playing in a side that really should bring the best out in him. The fact he got double figures for goals and assists in a side that lost more than it won is a credit to him, and without both he and Vardy I think we were relegation fodder last year. That we could have the 5th highest scorer and one of the best wingers and still only come 9th reflects badly on the others. Been very unhappy with how he's behaved in all of this. Regardless of if it's his doing or his agents advice it's soured his relationship with the club and fans - while we'll always acknowledge that he's a fantastic player (arguably even our best ever) there are many who don't like him now, and it's understandable. I get him wanting to join Man City and Guardiola but his behaviour was embarrassing. Pound for pound one of the best signings you will ever see.

Dave Posted July 8, 2018 Author Posted July 8, 2018 One of our ITKs has said that we were told that Patrick Roberts is going Leicester. His track records a good one so I take that as a pretty much on.
Subscriber Dan+ Posted July 8, 2018 Subscriber Posted July 8, 2018 Sounds like it's happening. Roberts is a player I've seen little from but heard a lot of. I don't know if he's really any good.

Azeem Posted July 10, 2018 Posted July 10, 2018 Does this means Leicester might go for AliReza Jahanbaksh ? Or he will be going to Brighton ?

We've been linked with him today. I wouldn't be upset with that. He's got a very tidy record albeit at a lower level, but when you're getting numbers like that in a side that isn't even close to the best in the league I think that's proof that you've got something about you, and I think he could probably step up. I'd be quite happy with Roberts as an isolated signing but if he's the direct replacement then that is an enormous gamble, and frankly one I'm not sure he's ready for. In Gray and Diabate we have two young wingers who could or could not make it. I think Roberts is yet another one of those. I'm usually a fan of buying young players with a high upside like Roberts but I do think it'd probably be one gamble too many especially given it's replacing our most magical player. If Shaqiri is available for £12mil I think we could do a lot worse. Likewise Yarmolenko.
Administrator Stan Posted July 10, 2018 Administrator Posted July 10, 2018 in all seriousness, he's one of the greatest players I've ever seen play in a Leicester shirt. On a par with Kante for his involvement in that 15/16 title-winning squad but also for the rest of the time he was here, dating back to 13/14 season in the Championship all the way through to the Champions League journey we had. There's no hate here. He's left to go to a better team and guaranteed to win more trophies which is what all footballers aspire too. He's given us years of greatness, moments of magic, ridiculous game-changing skills and assists and goals. It'll be weird seeing him in a different shade of blue but no doubt he'll just be as fun to watch. He will be missed for sure. But I wish him the best at Man City.
LFCMadLad Posted July 10, 2018 Posted July 10, 2018 Don't see where he,'ll fit in at City as they already have plenty of cover in the position he plays? Welcome to plenty of time getting arse splinters.
