Winger Mahrez was unhappy with his lack of game time towards the end of last season and could decide the time is right for him to move on. Mahrez was an unused substitute in both the Champions League and FA Cup finals and wants assurances about playing time at City before making a decision.
What manager will ever give those kind of assurances?From The Mirror (albeit written two days ago) (and perhaps made up anyway):
Oh dear! Is he at the airport already?
Not Guardiola, that’s for sure. There are very few players in the world with the chutzpah to sit in front of Pep and demand more guaranteed playing time - however, I suspect Mahrez is one of them.What manager will ever give those kind of assurances?
Soho I think you would be hard pressed to identify any occasions when he let us down on the pitch. Compare with the season of dross we just got from a number of other stars. And we spent the £60m on....Sorry - we turned him from a player valued at £450,000 to one valued at £60 Million. And for that he treated LCFC like garbage.
And for that I won't forgive him.
Keep snivelling, Mahrez.
He gave us fuckall. He exchanged his time and skill (when he could be bothered) for our money. Kante stuck to his contract and didn't have a mardy tablet mid seasonHe gave the Don another year though to help with the CL campaign - unlike Kante who faacked off at the first opportunity Mahrez gave us over 4 years service.
He gave me some of the best times I've ever had watching my team, sublime player who was a joy to watch.He gave us fuckall. He exchanged his time and skill (when he could be bothered) for our money. Kante stuck to his contract and didn't have a mardy tablet mid season
Maguire never threw a hissy fit eitherHe gave us fuckall. He exchanged his time and skill (when he could be bothered) for our money. Kante stuck to his contract and didn't have a mardy tablet mid season
To add, one in a long line of talented footballers with questionable personalities. As you say, doesn't stop you admiring their skill & what they contributed to the club.It's a fact that I don't need to like the player to appeciate them and know that without them (and others) we wouldn't have one the league and I wouldn't have been filled with wonder and awe watching his silky skills.
You miserable gits can carry on moaning because he decided to leave, it's what players do, you should be old enough and ugly enough to have accepted that by now.
In this instance, it's not our problem. If there's any % coming to us as a result of the sale, that's when we become interested.It doesn't alter the fact that he was a mardy arsed shit that downed tools on us and he's doing it again because he can't get his own way
All the talent in the world doesn't excuse behaving like a petulant hormonal school girl.
It's a great pity that my memory of him is tainted by the way he conducted himself at the end, I can't forgive him for insulting the club and fans
