Mahrez AWOL

[Brisan123]

Not really, the context is very relevant.

Mahrez has advisers (agents, lawyers) who will have told him that a "promise" that you can leave next season is only as good as the word of the person giving it.

If he didn't negotiate a release clause in his new contract and Leicester subsequently didn't think Man City were meeting their valuation and decided not to sell him, then that's own Mahrez's problem for not getting it in the contract in the first place.

Any promise Leicester made will be subject to them getting value for the player.

I think the fact that City only approached at the end of the window due to the Sane injury and the Sanchez deal not happening could have a major impact on this
Leicester probably see EL as realistic and without Mahrez or a suitable replacement this becomes harder to achieve.
I feel he will go in the summer if a suitable bid comes in
I doubt City will pay 66/75 m for a reserve left winger

Pray for Riyad.

City tried to get him for 20M less than VVD. That's why he's still there.

end of the day i'd love to be 'depressed' at the idea of driving one of my many supercars round,flitting from mansion to mansion with my supermodel wife earning £100k a week

shows how out of touch they are with reality. he's algerian isn't he? when you think of his fellow countrymen or people from similar countries drowning in the med trying to get to europe in search of a better life you think he'd stop and realise how lucky he is (no racism/sterotypes intended)

He is trying to drive his absurd price down. The burden of being a modern footballer /faint

 

[Kane]

Should go play golf in Argentina.

Or even Algeria if that suits him better.
