Mahrez off to Man City

Looks close to being done now. Days away according to numerous sources

 

TFFT!

 

This week surely. Think he has had his extra break and will be due back to pre season so unsettling if he is back with the squad and still angling to get away.

 

Amartey, Slimani and Mahrez are all due to report back this week

 

Is this saga finally going to be over?

 

Good sign for me, owners keeping him away from the squad and we don't need reports that hes not turned up for training, win win.

Its taken too long to be sorted already.

 

Medical passed and an announcement is imminent.

Its official now

Gutted. Best player ever to wear a Leicester shirt

Important that people start chipping in with more goals now as for the last 3 years only Vardy and Mahrez have scored at a decent rate

Gray, Iheanacho, Albrighton, Silva, Ndidi, the whole defence all need to score more goals then they did last season

Hopefully Maddison and any other new signings can replace the creativity we have lost

 

Good, dragged on too long and last thing we needed was it going on longer and affecting our business. Great player for what he did that season but no player is bigger than the club and I certainly won’t have sympathy if it doesn’t work out for him given how he has behaved. He’s the past now

 

Fully agree. For those who wanted him gone, you now have your wish. The most skillful player to pull the Leicester shirt on.

Many thanks for all you have given to my club Riyad.

 

Thank christ thats finally over, lets hope he makes Stirling look as average as he is and isn't just forgotten about on their bench, im sure he doesn't want to turn into Bernardo Silva getting 20 mins a week.

Andersons not signed for WHU yet, time to swoop in methinks

 

Thank F***k he has gone! at least we will not have to witness him f*****g up another penalty in a foxes shirt.
and for all those of you who say best player ever in a Leicester shirt ffs how old are you?
would liked to have seen him play on the pitches in the 60's + 70,s.

 

Mahrez will do well at Man City

He wont need to track back nowhere near as much, he will see more of the ball and get it in positions higher up the pitch

Him and Sane on each wing will be lethal

 

I'm 49 and say he's the most skillful player I have seen in a Leicester shirt.

Regarding the pitches, you could say the same about Messi and Ronaldo!

 

Cant understand some of the negative comments. Sure he may have got a little petulant last January but look where he came from and who knows who was in his ear. I am so grateful that a) we had such a wonderful player and b) we live in an age where we can enjoy his goals and skills as often as we like with the internet and dvd. I have been following City since the late 60's and for me without question the player with the most skill in that time to pull on the shirt. As with Kante and Drinky I wish him well and feel blessed to have seen greatness.

 

Arguably the most skilful player we have had with the ball at his feet. Can only guess what Davie Gibson or Keith Weller would look like on the pitches we have now and under the protection players get from refs these days. For me, the greatest players to ever pull on a Leicester shirt were Shilton and Banks - who at the time were simply the best in the world. Thanks for the memories.

 

I don’t think anyone is happy to see him go, it’s more relief that it’s been a long time coming and has been sorted so that the club has time to move on and not at the last minute screwing us ovee (Drinkwater/Silva debarcle).
Of course he is the most talented player to play for us for decades and the most talented I’ve seen at 26, all the team from that year are legends but nobody is bigger than the club. Vardy is a true icon for me and him going would hurt me a lot more

 

.... he wouldn't have been able to play on the British pitches of the 60s or 70s .... but neither would most of today's top skillfull players - or at least they wouldn't have been half as effective...

... but he's certainly the most naturally gifted footballer I've seen live in a Leicester shirt since I started going down in the 1969 / 70 season

... lest we forget

I'm in full agreement with Gary Lineker ...
