Gutter press talk from the Evening Standard?
Not sure if this is carp coming from a London paper
Or a Tottenham fc.
But it really shows how the press and anything london think
Of themselves,headline reads,
Tottenham are monitoring Riyad Mahrez’s situation but Leicester City will have to lower £50m valuation
Tottenham have asked to be kept informed of Riyad Mahrez’s position at Leicester City.
The 26-year-old attacker has asked to leave but Leicester want close to £50million for him. Tottenham would not enter the race seriously unless the price dropped substantially.
In other words we are too mucking tight to spend £50m or even make a bid!!
Its very nice of them to offer to take him off us, maybe £15 million would be better for them,
And little old Leicester would be very thankful.
What a bunch of stuck up twonks !

It's because they know he wants to leave and we will be stuck with a half dead duck if we don't offload.
GF on the other hand has said he is happy at Swansea

So happy he didn't go on their tour because he thought he'd get a move.
This is perception, and minds can change.

Yes I know he didn't go, but he didn't put in a transfer request.
I think Mahrez thought he would cause a bidding war between big clubs, but it seems it's turned into a bidding stand off between small clubs like Spurs and Roma..

He'd be gutted now Barca after Coutinho for £70m.
Who's better?

Don't forget arsenal will probably try a £30 million bid
As well,
towards the end of the window,when they've failed to get anyone else,
He wants champions league
His best bet now is to get his head down and aim for the January window when a team in the champions league has injury problems

Soz, but Coutinho is a level above Mahrez.
Ability to change a game. Coutinho has done that many times. He goes missing much less often than Mahrez as well.
Thinking about it, Mahrez could learn a lot from how Klopp has got Coutinho playing a team role.

If its the Evening Stabdard I think the answer to your
question is gutter press dublin. You know that paper whoes editor claimed he was the editor of a 'national newspaper'.
Perhaps its the italian journo that prawn sandwich highlighted yesterday.
These 'big' clubs can't accept that a supposed minnow
wont sell to them at the price they want. And this one from a club thats just sold a full back for 45 million.
As Corporal Jones would say ' They do not like it up em'

My own opinion is that I'm not sure I think Mahrez is worth £50 in today's market. It's not like I think it is absolutely ridiculously high, but I think it's a little off the mark and I imagine there are clubs are thinking the same, particularly as he actively wants to leave us.
I think £35m would be a reasonable amount to expect in today's ludicrous valuations but that is still based on one good season. I think the issue is, clubs aren't bidding at the end of a great season for him where they are taking a gambled risk that he isn't a one season wonder, this is at a stage where he has followed that season up with a poor one, which I think is what's adding a further dilemma to the situation. It means clubs aren't overly keen to buy him and, I have to say from my perspective, his poor season (coupled with his desire to leave) means I am far less anxious about him leaving than I would have been a year ago - to be honest, I've kind of just got used to the idea that we have a player, playing for us who is going, which is a strange feeling and I imagine is like a purgatorial feeling for Mahrez.
This week is the first time I've started to think, actually he could stay, and in a bizarre way he could almost seem like a new signing if he does have the right attitude and if any transfer doesn't pan out. Get your head down, turn a poor recent season into a glorious return to form and perhaps get an offer at Christmas time to transfer to a team in the knock out rounds of the CL
