What I dont get is if City know what Tolmie does and that Leicester will take £70 m (what he said but £65 = addons maybe) why they would slightly up the offer to £60 m with almost no time left.

It would have to be nearer what they know Leicester would take.

This is a couple of hours from being impossible. You cannot keep toing and froing unless this is an act and its all done. Which seems less likely now.

That very specific £62 plus add ons supposedly itk post sounds more plausible.

Like we were mental to turn down £45m, £50m, £55m? Please don't disrespect us and think that we need the money. The decisions made will be made on having full knowledge of the situation.

The news coming out is probably hours old anyway. There is loads of time to get stuff done still, Chelsea were stuck on £25m with about an hour to go on the last deadline day apparently and we rinsed another £10m out of them.
 
SSN transfer programme with Alan McInaly " big gamble at 29/30 at 60m"...everyone in the studio corrected him "hes 26"."Is he ? in that case rewind 30 seconds Id tell Leicester to keep him hes done this before"........my points
1. Didnt the rags just gamble with Sanchez ? 35 m + (35m) Mikity going the other way + 500k a week wages
2. 60m for a 26 year old winger who is a class player is not a gamble
3. example of how thick most pundits are

You are really committed to staying on here and putting all of us in our place, aren’t you?

I dont think you guys are playing hard ball, rather its the replacement issue; dont think Puel is overly keen on letting a player go without a decent replacement.

Money isnt the issue.

Leicester willing to sell Riyad Mahrez to Man City for £65m



http://www.espn.co.uk/football/socc...sell-riyad-mahrez-to-man-city-for-65m-sources

Leicester City are demanding £65 million for Manchester City target Riyad Mahrez and are looking at possible replacements if their asking price is met, sources have told ESPN FC. Mahrez has handed in a transfer request at Leicester as Manchester City are trying to beat the deadline to bring him to the Etihad Stadium and have already seen a couple of bids rejected by Leicester.

However, sources have told ESPN FC that Leicester officials are now drawing up a list of possible replacements who could help fill the void should Mahrez leave before Wednesday's 11 p.m. deadline. Manchester City have stepped up their interest in Mahrez after losing winger Leroy Sane for between six to seven weeks with an ankle ligament injury, but it remains to be seen if they will go to £65m to land Mahrez.

If true JFDI Blues, an extra £5M can easily be fudged.

You have a player who has made clear on a number of occasions in different windows he doesn't want to play for Leicester anymore and who's contract is running down and so will his price each window that passes ..
 
Not seen thread as just out of meeting but assume this will get done? Seems if we are only £5mil apart and it’s only early afternoon, then surely this is media bollocks and we will get it over the line?

Into another meeting now so thanks in advance if someone can reply and let me know where we are up to?
 
This will be done at £65 million plus add ons of £5 million probably based on our trophy haul at the end of the season IMO.
 
It sounds like we are very keen to get this over the line. I don't remember a time where we went back with 3 bids and didn't get the player? It suggests that Leicester have named their price and we aren't too far away, they certainly can't have asked for £90m if we are still going back to them.

Guess it depends on whether it hinges on a replacement big found as that is getting hard to see unless City have a youth forward they will loan until Summer that might benefit both teams, as suggested earlier.

Agreed. If it’s really our third bid it looks like we’ll probablt get him.
