Sounds like they are washing their hands of it

It sounds like they have an easy get out because they couldn't afford him

Please...no offense taken! And, I went back and (think) took take of my overstep.

As for me, I had a short professional playing career as I had other, better paying opportunities to undertake. However, I enjoyed my time. I grew up with a pro Dad and saw every side of the business (and it has ALWAYS been a business!), from good to bad! Therefore, while I played with the same football passion as everyone else, I also saw that, for most, it was at best a labor of love that kicked you out in your early 30s (if you were lucky) and with almost nothing to fall back on...as I learned from my Dad’s experience and we’ve seen from more than one City “Star.”

My football (for fun by that time) actually ended around age 30, when I badly tore my right quad. Surgeons discussed the tear, the chances of playing competitively again, etc, etc... and I knew it was over. Since then, I have played about 15 mins of “competitive” football and made an arse of myself. Helped put any wistful musings to bed and I moved on.

When I was 16, I turned down a pro contract at Leeds to stay in school, do my A levels, and get a place at Uni, because I didn’t want to end up on the scrap heap the minute I got a bad injury, etc. That decision put me on a path that changed my life for the better.

Now, I have a good career and many happy memories of those “good old days,” whilst also being able to take good care of my family and put a few quid away for later.

So, it’s all good here. Hope you are, too, and absolutely no offense taken.

Be well.

Mahrez has a huge role to play this season.

So what timescale are we looking at 4-5 months out?

Bloody cheek, they've non stop kept commenting on it all summer.

I don't think they want him anymore,they are a vile lot

He will get the best care money can buy and will hopefully return to full fitness in the near future. He has the potential of a long and illustrious career ahead of him and I hope it can be as a City player.

We will take good care of him, as he is a City player. The rest will take care of itself.

That said, he is going to have some downtime post-surgery and before he can start working again, so It will be interesting to see if he spends that in Germany or Manchester.

Oh, I think they do but will wait until we have nursed him back to health at our costs (after all, he would be no use to them this season now anyways), and will look to get him even cheaper next year

This as well,they tried to bully us but we brushed them off,they can retreat now and spare their blushes
