Riyad Mahrez

The interesting thing is mahrez hasn't travelled with Leicester to Everton.
That's usually a sign that things are moving and quick.

According to Tolmie's Twatter the first bid was 60M. If the 3rd was 55M then the bids must be getting lower and lower :-)

Yep, we started at 68 million euros and are now up to £55 million with the third bid. They wont entertain selling him for less than £90 million but £65 million might do it but a compromise of £75 million is possible.

I don't see this happening. Leicester will just keep on upping the price until we walk away. Annoying but he is their player so they can do that. I don't think they care if Marhez is upset they have blocked him leaving before.

Why would Leicester not just say he’s not for sale then??..

Leicester are insistent that they will not accept any other offer until it comes down to £25 mill ;-)

£50m for a stop gap that would be nowhere near our teanm if not for an injury.

Easily the best player outside the top 6, who singlehandedly dragged a team to the title as much as any player has in years.

Mahrez is obviously good enough to play a lot of games for City, and you can't say that for many players.

After the disappointment of the Sanchez deal would have thought we wouldn't get so publicly involved unless we were serious about him

 

[Neville Kneville]

He’s not gone there yet has he?

They, supposedly need to get Giroud out of the building to fund it, and last I heard he wouldn’t budge

Right age for Utd if they can persuade him to up his wage demands.

Leicester value him at around £90million mark. City are bidding at £55million. It'll be difficult to see them finding a middle ground, at this stage the likelihood of City moving towards the £75million mark and Leicester accepting that has me a sceptical fool.

 

[paulchapo]

I'm not sure that he's ever a) put in a written transfer request, and b) 'downed tools' before though has he?

I honestly can't remembered but I seem to recall some unrest there and his form dipping dramatically.

55 mill, hope it's a big enough bid to push it through.
