Riyad Mahrez

[tolmie's hairdoo]

So,we believed the deal was done,even though nothing was signed to confirm such?

And now Leicester have renegued in order to exploit the transfer further?

Which would equate to the negotiations having some way to go?

Seemingly, Leicester agreed to the deal, asked for time to bring in a face, having said they were not keen on Roberts, but then decided at a later time that they were. They valued him at less than we did.

The player was under the belief he would receive a substantial pay-off from Leicester, which is considerable - but they have cited his original request to leave back in January.

A case of who pays him.

Tolmie also said we had done deals for four players, that we’d be spending nearly £250m this window, that “The disco wants to reopen”, that we’d be shopping in Germany this window, posted numerous London Boys/Chelsea Dagger videos, hell, even one that was just called Hazard.

Everything with a pinch of salt.

Every single close season we get some smartarse new poster who pops up, follows Tolmie slavishly, then expresses cynicism, usually in a bizarrely cocksure fashion. Here's a tip, mate: nobody knows or cares who you are or what you say. Some of us know who Tolmie is and care about what he says. So keep your salt in your pocket.

Indeed and you are correct, which was also months back - we scout numerous players for the same position and both Thiago and Weigl were being extensively watched. The Isco reports even emerged at a later date in Spain and over here.

Hazard agent is well aware what Pep thinks of him. If I had wanted to cover my arse on that info, as you say - Chelsea Dagger and Hazard from Richard Marx was hardly subtle!!

Thing is mate, I'm long past giving a fuck. I'm a bit of entertainment for some, a mild irritant to others.

Ok,cheers.

Tolmie always seems quite informative, most take it or leave it

 

[Jazzman]

Tolmie's information is greatly appreciated here in Munich where I am.

Not a dig, Tolmie is bang on a lot of the time and I appreciate the updates. It's just another source of information which isn't always verbatim.

Words on the internet aren't always correct and *should* be taken with a pinch of salt.

Sincere apologies if I bothered anyone.

 

[foggy1974]

You just know they will want one of those big grab bags though

Question is if we offer 75 will you want 95 hahaha

No need to apologise mate, Tolmie himself admits his info should be taken with a pinch of salt, some posters on here are incredibly precious and love to put others down. This place can be very hostile if you aren't well known.

Fuck him/them off and go balls deep for Hazard

Why should we , City wants the player, the player wants City. Don't forget Hazard turned us down once before what is to stop it happening again. In addition Chelsea are unlikely to be any easier to deal with than Leicester

 

[hilts]

I think the word done is quite a simple one which will lead to obvious conclusions. Maybe people can actually give the info they have or not as opposed to using a word that does not apply.

We get this every window although we haven’t had the mandatory I’m off drama post yet.

Better player.

 

[blueparrot]

Better player.

Better individual player maybe, but from what I've seen not a better team player than Mahrez.

 

[blue61]

t

Better player.

That is a matter of opinion, would he be a better fit for the team is the real question.

 

[GeorgeHeslop'sTackle.]

As do I, the amount of shit I hear!

Do you know if the club are looking at alternatives Tolm?

My own instincts, if they continue to keep playing silly b*ggers and continually moving the goalposts, would be to walk away and tell ‘em to “do one”.

But to be honest, I think they have us over a barrel, If we pull out now, I can’t think of anyone else in his class (of proven premiership quality), who is immediately ready, & would be capable of coming into the side and doing exactly what Pep wants, - i.e. giving us something a little different to what we already have. (especially when parked buses need to be shifted).

If we go for someone of a similar age & experience, but cheaper, I’m afraid they’re usually cheaper for a reason.

If, on the other hand, we go for someone younger with potential, like Maddison, he’s clearly not gonna be experienced enough give Pep the option of starting against teams like Burnley & Huddersfield (away), when a tactical change is desperately needed.

You pays your money & takes your choice, but, the bottom line is, I’m afraid, if we want someone of proven quality, (whoever it is) we’re gonna have to pay up.

No way is Mahrez worth £75m plus Roberts to City, Liverpool might needs to spunk that kind of money if they still have it? as their squad is much weaker than ours. But we certainly don't need to.
