They've recovered just fine every other window he's done this routine.
Disaster for Pep, he now has to give some playing time to Bernardo Silva.
HAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!! 
Cheeky bid for Mahrez in the summer?

he never pissed his team mates off before
so they low balled us, unsettled the player then f***ked off cheers for that ...
If they turned down £65 mill, i doubt we'd offer more now in january anyway.
Leicester are fecked. I've heard Txiki doesn't forgive.
When is Mahrez's contract up?
Can't see how City justify trying to pay £65m on Mahrez, when they've just paid £60m-odd for a non PL-proven defender.

Feel sorry for Mahrez, Leicester and their fans. All of this because of City’s greed.
Makes me lying in bed for 3 days with flu even better! How many diluded city fans had his name printed on their shirts! Oh dear!Off the field City have made an absolute show of themselves this window.
Poor skint Citeh, they just couldn't offer more due to their financial limitations. Not easy to build a quality side on a budget.
in 2 and a half years
??? how do you know that, reports say City have pulled out because of Leicester City's greed.
Sky Sports News man at the ground told to stress "no formal offers" ever made. City still trying to talk down any failure.
Yeah anything below £85-90m in this market isn't enough.
What greed? They just wanted what they deserved for a player who is key to their team. 60m is a nothing fee in the current climate for a player of Mahrez ability, especially this close to the end of the window.
Wanting the going rate for a top player is greedy?
They have come in late, Mahrez has handed in a transfer request and isn’t playing tonight. All because City want to stockpile players because of a 6 week injury.
Said this yesterday...
I could see where this is going. Mahrez hands in a transfer request, clubs rejects it as they cannot find a suitable replacement. Mahrez doesn't get his move and and refuses to play upcoming fixtures, derails Leicester season. This same fecking thing happened with Sanchez last summer
Before Mahrez joined Leicester he was a massive target for my local team - Botev Plovdiv. Manager S. Stoilov (at the time) really wanted him and would have gotten him if not for LCFC, we had the money. Oh well...
Well said yet predictable from the little blue plastics. What a crap little club. They claim the moral high ground yet undertake actions like this, all as one of their players got an injury. Pep is shitting himself and the thought of having to play youth.
My conservative estimate would be roughly zero. None of the fans I know were particularly enthused about the prospect of signing him.
I've said it already and some had a moan at me, the money involved to try take him from Leicester is mind-bending. He is a very good player, but up around €65mill is going overboard - gotta draw the line somewhere, just because the market is gone bonkers doesn't make the fees right.
He is a dynamic player, but 40 to maybe max 50mill in add-ons is where I'd see a fair deal.

Just as I think the BBC can't embarrass themselves any further...
Mahrez not going to Man City

Manchester City have walked away from a proposed deal for Leicester City's Riyad Mahrez after refusing to sanction a transfer package that would have cost £95m.
City do not view themselves as having made an offer after Leicester City came to them with a proposal that would have also included a player.
Yes, pathetic and disrespectful from City. Just like with Sanchez in the summer, they wait until deadline day to put in a proper bid, leaving the selling club no time to find a replacement.
At least we do things in the right and honourable way when it comes to transfers.
true... though to suggest (as was suggested) that he has not played at all and that city would give him up to get Mahrez (when lets be honest they need Marhez to add wide attacking options so selling one when Sane and Jesus are injured and stirling is playing the odd game up front just seems like a non starter)
I would also say that wasnt the fee actually €50m or about £43m with the exchange rate at the time - and yes Id have expected him to play more but equally when we signed miki on big wages and coming off a cracking season in the BL I would have expected him to play more as well... I think given its his first season and its a new league he has played a little less than i expected but not so much that he or city would be looking to terminate things just yet
Jesus wept. 'Refusing to sanction a transfer package that would have cost £95m." - you approached them you plebs. They've not held you to ransom.
Simon Stone is a Man City puppet. And he works for the BBC no less.
City's PR machine and pals in the media in full effect...
I tend to agree tbf, I don’t see hiw City would even need him? You dont spend 65m for a league cup and substitute player!

Right, absolute plastic of a club. Let's see how they are going to maintain their 50m a player stance when eventually Sergio has to be replaced.
We always make sure our facsimile machines are well maintained...
Why? Arsenal have just signed PEA for 55million, and Leicester were willing to let Mahrez go for 40 in the past summer, really unfair on the lad.
95M 'package' lol. City PR machine will again spin it like City pulled out for moral reasons.
City offered Leicester the opportunity to have one of their players play for Pep. Leicester got greedy and wanted money.
Pep or Money Leicester.. Cant have both.
