Shame if it was going well
Hopefully not Mahrez's agent!Does anyone know who was at the stadium today? I was going in to the stadium through the turnstiles by the players car park and a player came in about 2:45pm chauffeur driven in a Bentley in a tracksuit and then put his hood up to try and not be seen. I saw his face but didn’t recognise him - he looked Algerian?
Is Glen Johnson a free agent now? Whilst he’s aged, I think he’d be an excellent short term addition till the end of the seasonWe are linked with a host of RBs - Andre Almeida from Benfica, Jonny from Celta Vigo, Adam Smith from Bournemouth and Glen Johnson who will be a free agent.
Harvey Barnes has been recalled from loan Barnsley.
Hmm, if we were going for an aged right back on a free I’d sooner have seen the Sagna rumour after the summer transfer window have legs. TBH i thought Johnson was crap at his best. Just my view thoughIs Glen Johnson a free agent now? Whilst he’s aged, I think he’d be an excellent short term addition till the end of the season

... there are two problems with taking a player like GJ on ... firstly, his biggest strength was his athleticism ... he was never the most gifted technical footballer ... and he's now lost a good yard of pace ... secondly, his wages ... if he's willing to take a substantial pay cut then possibly ... personally I'd rather play Amartey there ... he had a cracking game yesterday and would really benefit from a sustained run in the team possibly prior to a switch to centre back .. or as part of a 3 ...a back 3 of Amartey, Dragovic and Maguire would have a bit of everything, athleticism, youth and a good degree of comfort on the ball ...Puel said he wants to give him a chanceBarnsley have been on a fairly poor run so has been rumours he might go out on loan to a higher paved championship team. Or Puel wants a look at him for us.
We are linked with Augsburg full-back Daniel Opare - is out of contract in the summer so they want to cash in.
Ben Hamer and Robert Huth are out of contract for us - no indication that either will get new deals as of now.
Mahrez is heavily linked with Arsenal again - not sure if £50M is his buy out clause but that is still the price and is a bargain at todays prices.
And VardyKante was the only one with a buy-out clause ... Mahrez market value must now be north of £60 million given the daft prices being quoted for others .. we don't have to sell him for another season if we don't want to ...

He signed a new contract last season with the promise that he would be able to move to a club that meets our valuation - would make sense that his new contract has that in as a clause as £50m does seem like a fixed number.And Vardy
Mahrez has never had a release clause
Yh he did but he had a £22M release clause that Arsenal activated but since removed after he signed another new contractHe signed a new contract last season with the promise that he would be able to move to a club that meets our valuation - would make sense that his new contract has that in as a clause as £50m does seem like a fixed number.
I think the able to move was a gentleman’s agreement as oppose to an official clause. If the agreement was for an amount that meets our value I’d have thought that would have risen as Fosse saysHe signed a new contract last season with the promise that he would be able to move to a club that meets our valuation - would make sense that his new contract has that in as a clause as £50m does seem like a fixed number.
