City have been very unprofessional with the way they have handled the Sanchez's transfer and now this. First promise the player and then play hard ball with the club. Surely Leicester will be fuming at CIty.
Mahrez | Signed with City

It's hard to believe he was hanging out in a airport, in the last window. Strange situation, got to feel a bit sorry for Pep. He's been restricted this window, with players choosing money over football. Playing for such a historic club is the dream of everyone, with all those fans watching every week.
City are a joke. If a player puts in a transfer request, then it will no doubt because City wanted him too. Then they feck from the deal. Pathetic club
Yeah, that's absolutely disgusting. I feel for the player and for Leicester.
Paying 60£M for an unproven defender coming from Spain and the same thing for an attacking player that proved his worth in the PL.
yes and Liverpool paid £75m for a CB, Mahrez has been in excellent form and is under contract, they came to us, they leaked the offer, they did all this in the last 2 days of the transfer window, you either pay the fee or feck off, its really simple
Greedy Leicester blackmailing poor City, pushing 100m deals down their throat.
everyone don't forget to set your DVR's the next episode of Mahrez desperate to leave Leicester this coming summer.
at somepoint he might realise if he stops acting like a desperate disrespectful twat to "force" the move it will help Leicester get the fee we want and him get the move he wants, our owner puts respect above all else, he really isn't helping himself with his antics

Pep or no money
But really, how many transfer requests does the lad have to hand in for you to realise that he doesn't want to play for you. What's he supposed to do? Play shite until you let him leave? He's a good professional, and you were offered double what you were offered last summer for him. The Coutinho deal doesn't really affect his price as some LCFC fans like to say because unfortunately he's nowhere near as good as him.
Feel dirty because it's City involved, but I'm talking about the player only. He's been professional enough, he should be allowed to leave in my opinion.
Sorry but the lad signed a contract so I'm with Leicester on this one.
Maybe Pep thought this is like in Spain or Germany where smaller clubs folds when bigger club comes for a player.
Not long before the stories start to break that united have offered £100m and 600k a week wages ruining mahrez chances of playing for his life long hero pep.
They won’t even be interested in the summer, they’ll have their sights on bigger names.
the club have told him he can leave when a club matches the valuation, not before so stop driving down the valuation by refusing to train or travel with the rest of the squad
The Pool money stems from the Neymar deal which really was out of the realms of reality. This offer breaks the City transfer fee and given how many expensive players they've bought in recent times that's far from lowballing.
Yeah and I'd agree with that, a contract is a contract and I'd probably feel differently if it was one of our players - but it's odd from the outside looking in. Feels like it's been going on for ages this mini - 'saga'
That's fine, but I feel that the valuation is ridiculous, that's all.
Seems that valuation changes like the weather. Always seems slightly more than what clubs are willing to offer. Roma offered 35, the value was said to be 40, now City offer 65, the value is apparently 90.
try and by a premier league sides best player giving them no time to replace him and the valuation shoots up, it has to to justify it to that clubs fans, it has to be a "how can we turn that down" offer, City never claim close to that, they spent £60m on an uncapped defender and want to spend the same on a PFA player of the year winning attacker this laste in a window? it was never going to be acceptedYeah and I'd agree with that, a contract is a contract and I'd probably feel differently if it was one of our players - but it's odd from the outside looking in.

markets change all the time, that's just business
It naturally goes up for a club in the same league, with a lot more money to spend, who decide to go after their best player in the middle of the season a day before the deadline.
especially when that player has more goals and assists in a less attacking side than a player that just moved for £140m in the same amount of time in the Premier League
What's changed the market so much from the last day of the summer window to right now?
we always had a domestic price and a European price, we don't want to sell and especially not to a Premier League club, as I just said he has more goals and assists in a less attacking side than Coutinho so why should we sell for less than half of his fee?
Stop acting like we are in the wrong here just because we aren't a "big" club
Well done Leicester.
Seems like shifting it to keep the player imo which is a dangerous game to play cause it could lead to a despondent player.
City throw money about like confetti and then think they can get one of the best attackers in the league for £60m when centre backs are going for £60m+. Not surprising.
if he does that whose going to want him next summer when there has been little interest in him before? Our squad is pretty good at policing itself, other player won't stand for him acting up
Why? not like they are direct competition to you guys given the slide you guys have had. Also, didn't you guys sell one of your best players for 40 million the past window to a prem club? why not push for 60? Again, the Coutinho transfer comes from the Neymar money which is out of realms with reality. No one is buying players for those fees. It seems everyone knows that apart from Leicester. 65 million would make him the 4th most expensive player ever acquired by an English club. How is that not enough?
He might just feel you guys wont sell him anyways as you've proven before.
City go in hard, piss everyone off and then United walk in like gentleman and get the player at a bargain price. Would be great if we get a pissed off Mahrez at say £35m during the summer.
Poor Rhiab, he must absolutely hate Leicester.
no we sold Danny Drinkwater not one of our best players, a player we no longer needed and had a replacement signed for a lot less than we sold Drinkwater for
he wanted to leave when he signed this contract he could have walked by now if he hadn't...
thenh we point to Drinkwater and say see, they matched our valuation and we sold, or don't you think you're worth the money?
he wanted to leave when he signed this contract he could have walked by now if he hadn't...
What did Man City expect, they just signed an uncapped inexperienced defender for nearly 60m, and they want a former POTY for the same jokers.
jokers.Yet we get all the stick form the media.
We’re labled as the big bad monster that is throwing money around ruining football - whist actually playing anti-football.
This, Leicester have done the right thing, he's more valuable to them for the second part of the season than the 15/20M£ they'll lose by selling him in the summer instead of now. if the offer was too good to refuse, i''m pretty sure they would have sold him. when they see the money paid for Laporte only a few days ago, Mahrez is definitly worth more than that.
he'll definitly get them around 45/50M£ in the summer. and he could be the difference between getting a place in the europa league (7th) or not.
the only culprit here is city. they wanted the player to the point where they pushed him to hand a transfer request and this late in the window, they should have been ready to do whatever is necessary to get him.
He'll no doubt move in the summer for less than they were offered. I don't think this is good business from Leicester whatsoever.
They signed him for that much on the condition that Dortmund were able to secure a replacement - it’s not the same situation. Plus the market has changed since then
What you on about? The valuation is whatever Leicester want it to be. Maybe if City hadn't been so unprepared they could have worked through a deal over the last week or two and come to an agreement? Instead City thought they could arrogantly come in and take him on the last day of the window. Hilarious.
