Quality player for us over the years and scored some important goals too. Never understood the hate he got sometimes. All the best Mahrez.

Thanks for all the fish FFS
Good move all round. £30m is great money for a 32yo and Riyad can walk away with his head held high.
I think a lot of the "FFS" was about what he wasn't. He wasn't quick, he wasn't direct, he wasn't aggressive. His first touch was incredible but it never seemed to take a defender out of the game like a Foden or Bernardo touch could. I'd say he was an 8/10 player in a team full of absolute monsters and sometimes suffered by comparison, but there's no denying his contribution to our success.

Sorry to see him go. I've really enjoyed watching him over the years and he played some of his best football in big champions league games. As others have said, it is fair comment that he was frustrating at times, but he was a really important player, who contributed a lot for us and his first touch was incredible! Good luck to him with his next move.

Good luck Riyad!
I like the way he used to come out of the tunnel for the pre-match warm-up thing by doing a little sprint (sometimes including step-overs!) onto the pitch, which I sort of think I would have done had I been selected - or, say, come on as a sub.
Another great signing, really. It's worked out well for everyone involved.

Exciting player on his day but not the best person to help out in tracking back.
Scored some memorable goals for us and assists, but we move on.

Love Riyad, one of my favorite players in the last few years. I was skeptical as to how he would fit in at first but he excelled and we were better when he was at his best.
