Doesn't make any difference to the fact that as his transfer request was in, any valuation we placed on him already took that into account.

He can have the devil himself as his agent, but he has two and a half years left on his contract. If your board want the player, then they can have him for what we'd consider a reasonable bid in the current market.

I'm sure there is a deal to be done if your side really want him. The owners are friends with the players and there is a lot of mutual respect, they don't like to stand in peoples way, but they also won't have the piss taken. £55m for Mahrez will be see as an insult.

Chuck in another £10m cash, lots of add ons and wipe out the Iheanacho buy back and a chunk of the remaining fee. I'm sure there is a middle ground.

I'd rather keep him as he's priceless to us, no fee will ever get us as good a replacement. He's a sensational player, come the summer he'll be worth £100m+ and we all know it down here.

100 million?
You all on crack down there?

Good post but hardly a "pathetic" bid.
What do you value him at?

Almost impossible to answer really, as I mentioned he's priceless to this club. Look at the percentage of our goals he's involved in, how important he is to our play. The VVD signing has set the market currently, it would have to be north of that for people to not feel totally ripped off.

We already feel shafted by the fact Kante had a release clause and we knew we were losing a £60m+ player for less than £30m. That still stings the club, it taught the club some harsh lessons and they won't be bullied now. They will stand up for themselves quite strongly.

The biggest thing is the respect the owners have for Mahrez. They could very well sanction his move for less than we believe he is worth as a thank you for what he's done. They are that sort off people, so it's difficult to call exactly how it will go, but the bid would need to be fair and bidding less than what you just paid for a defender will not be seen as that.
 
one thing you can be sure of, we'll have a limit of a fee and if they won't sell, we will walk away as we did with Sanchez

£57,000,001???
 
We would not be increasing offers bit by bit in the £50's million if it was £90 million or bust. We would either offer more or walk.

As I said earlier this smells like a play being staged for the media.

If it isn't you will either hear by morning we have made a final offer of whatever we think or we will walk.

If we are serious and we know what Leicester want (as we must do as this is not a five minutes ago idea as the media seem to think it is) we would not play games as it would be pointless this late on.

I'm talking about if he moved to you. If you bought him for £55m and give him the game time, his price will double. You only have to look at his stats in a defensive Leicester team that's struggled a fair bit as a team, compared to Coutinho and Hazard in far better attacking teams.
