Riyad Mahrez

[daztrueblue91]

Indeed, his snake of an agent insisted he retracted his previously issued transfer request (twice) in order that he receive a payment from Leicester as if his previous two attempts to get a transfer didn’t actually happen (some sort of Ewing in the shower moment).

So, he’s clearly not that desperate to move just to play football - the dirty money side - to which he isn’t entitled - raises its ugly head.

Why is he not entitled to a loyalty payment?

He asked to leave and Leicester said no. He retracted his request and stayed at the club.

Now he seems to be leaving on Leicester’s terms.

It’s very easy to always blame the player in situations like this but Mahrez has wanted to leave Leicester for the past 2 seasons now and they have refused to let him go. He’ll no doubt think he is entitled to a payment for not being allowed to leave.

Brandt looks tasty - but not quite a Sane. Younger than Mahrez.

I agree. I've felt for him in previous windows when we were not involved. it's not so much the money, but the ambition. Still he should not have extended his contract without inserting clauses protecting his freedom to move

I think Dax777 is going to be made to look very foolish in a few years time.

Is this post from 2010?

Well if it is between him and the club he knows how to resolve the matter very quickly. No doubt been told, Pep would like new players in by 9th July so this will be interesting to see how much he wants to join us. Didnt something similar happen with Fernandhino transfer?

B Silva went very smoothly.

Media had no idea he was signing for us until it was announced. Even then there were a few digs.

Being reported (Alan Nixon) that the hold up is due to his agent (Kia) wanting a big pay off from Leicester?

Corrected for Nixon.

I take it this might be next week then

I think that foolish boat for Dax has long since sailed... :-)
