BREAKING: Manchester City have ended their pursuit of Riyad Mahrez. [Sky Sports News]
Thank fuck :lol:
Fuck me he's going to be seething.
Summer 2017
Mahrez: I want to leave.
Boss: Fine, but we want £50million
*Roma offers £30mill~*
Mahrez: Pls?
Boss: No, £50million or you stay.
Winter 2018
*Nothing for ages*
Man City: We'll pay you £50million for Mahrez
Mahrez: I want to leave, there's your £50million!
Boss: Nah, £90million or you stay.
Seething I tell you. Should be a fun few days.
Don't get me wrong, it's nice that we're now in a financial position to be able to pull this stuff and not get slapped around Southampton style, but keeping unhappy players won't help in the long run. Mahrez has 2 1/2 years left on his contract, chances are we'll never be able to fetch £60 odd mill for him now.
