Maybe he is showing respect for his next club, like Adebayor.

He seems popular, will try to forget his petulance and get behind him, he deffo has ability.
If he doesn't upset the team then that's ok.

Leicester fan in peace.
I do think that Chelsea will bid for him as soon as they sort out their manager problem if the deal with your club isn't done until then. Mahrez is one of our greatest players ever. There aren't many players in the league that can beat their opponent like he does, he's an intelligent player with a great vision and his first touch is honestly one of the best, if not the best in the world. He's also never injured.
Sure, he has poor games (which player doesn't) but when he's on it, he's unplayable. It is also worth to say that Danny Simspon, our RB, whilst being a very solid defender and covering for Mahrez (the latter does track back but is shit at defending) is absolutely crap going forward. This means that Riyad operates alone upfront, with more than often two or three opponents on his back.
Our season after winning the title looked like a never ending hang-over, we lost a key player in Kanté and he as well as the rest of the team didn't do great. But this season, under Puel he came back to his 2015/16 level, some of us dare say he was even better. Then you guys bid for him and as the deal collapsed, he snapped out and went on strike, breaking the team's momentum which ultimately cost us the 7th place. He still was one of the best performers of the second half of the season.
Whilst being gutted to see him go, a large majority of us are convinced that he's going to reach another level if he's coached by Pep and surrounded by better players.
Hiya mate and again, thanks for posting that, tbh I pretty much see what you see with Mahrez, I really like the kid, I think he's a tremendous talent, and whenever he plays I always think 'crap' whenever he gets the ball, so, don't really understand what some seem to have against him signing for us (if he does).
ps, I think Iheanacho did actually play behind the striker originally, and I'm pretty sure he once said he preferred that, then again, I may be going senile, but he does have that priceless commodity of being in the right place at the right time, very Shaun Goater like, any way, all the best for next season.

Fully agree with you, Mbappe is more what we need, we should just get him.If we’re paying 75 million for Mahrez we should pay an extra 25 million and break the bank for someone with a lot more potential like Mbappe instead. Aguero will be gone next summer so surely that’s a no brainier if he’s available?? For me Mbappe is more of the player we need can play wide also and think we would get more out of him. Jesus and Mbappe when aguero leaves would be out of this world along side sterling and sane and bernado that forward line would definitely dominate for years to come Please pep sign Mbappe instead of Mahrez!
I like Mahrez as a player but I dont want us to buy any player that downs tools on his club, very unprofessional imo. But really I think we need Mbappe more than Mahrez.
Hazard, Mbappe, Salah, they would improve our first eleven and would offer something more in CL later stages where we have been lackingfor years now...
(But given how we lost against Monaco and then Pool we just cannot keep conceding so many goals in any tie...)
Mahrez would be a good addition to the squad, would offer better rotation option than what we have now as Bernardo simply not scoring enough. While Sterling might not be able to copy this season in terms of scoring. We will need extra goals Mahrez can score a few for sure in a team like ours but he wont play nowhere near as much as at Leicester. So if his stats based on 35+ PL starts in the league you can cut that in half at City.

Great player who will become even greater under Pep
Get him signed
Get him signed
"Great" seems to be thrown around rather loosely nowadays. You'd think it'd be reserved for the likes of Messi, Ronaldo, KDB, Ramos, Kroos etc.Great player who will become even greater under Pep

He is a great player may even become close to world class with Pep i find it hard to believe how so many under rate Mahrez.
Why is Mahrez not considered a great player in your eyes?"Great" seems to be thrown around rather loosely nowadays. You'd think it'd be reserved for the likes of Messi, Ronaldo, KDB, Ramos, Kroos etc.
Because I thought the word 'great', synonymous with exceptional/extraordinary, would be reserved for the other players I mentioned.Why is Mahrez not considered a great player in your eyes?
Mahrez is very good. But, great?
But that doesn't answer why you don't think he's great.Because I thought the word 'great', synonymous with exceptional/extraordinary, would be reserved for the other players I mentioned.

What quantifies a player as being "great" to you?
You're making/hinting the proposition that Mahrez is great. The burden of proof is on you sir, not me.But that doesn't answer why you don't think he's great.

Usually 'great' is reserved for likes of Messi, Ronaldo, KDB, Ramos, Kroos etc. in the present and Maldini, Ronaldinho, Ronaldo, R. Carlos etc. of the past.

World class different to great
I'm literally just asking you a question. You have said he's not a great player and I'm asking why is that, the "burden of proof" is on you and you haven't offered any reasoning for it.You're making/hinting the proposition that Mahrez is great. The burden of proof is on you sir, not me.

Rhyming off a list of player's names doesn't offer any insight into what makes them "great". I just want to know what say, Kroos or Kev have over Mahrez in your opinion.
Not that hard to understand, ffs.

Of course we do. We need Mbappe or some sort of striker instead of another wide man/forward player to replace Sergio next year. Mbappe would be perfect and would slot straight in. Suits our style plus brings our average age down even lower he would be perfect for us if we had a slight chance of signing him we should just go all out even if he costs 150 million imo. Mahrez is good but we really don’t need him also think he’d hamper Bernado’s Season once again.Fully agree with you, Mbappe is more what we need, we should just get him.

Mahrez isn’t great just yet that’s for sure.. the season Leicester won the league every player in that team had a great season not just Mahrez. Was a freak season that year for all there players. For me he has a lot more to prove on the big stage before being considered great.Why is Mahrez not considered a great player in your eyes?
Rhyming off a list of players that even a toddler can infer what makes them great and how that doesn't make Mahrez great. Not that hard, as you say. Elementary.I'm literally just asking you a question. You have said he's not a great player and I'm asking why is that, the "burden of proof" is on you and you haven't offered any reasoning for it.
