Never thought I would be but I’m slightly sad to see him go. Was hard to warm to him at first but he scored some class goals with that left foot of his!

Enjoy the money my friend.



I read earlier on one of the City related socials that he Mahrez decided to move on because Pep didn't start him in either FA Cup final or Chumps final, no idea how true that is.


I would say there is some truth in that. Same for Walker.
Bye lads there's no I in team.

30 million is very good business, for his age.

Best of luck Riyad, a good servant and gave us some quality moments, seemed like a good bloke as well.

If Bernie leaves we have a bit of a hole in midfield, but I hear we're after Raphinha.

Was great against lesser opponents.

Thanks Riyad, it's been emotional.

Everyone on their feet for the national anthem of Algeria.

Fantastic player to have, a bargain I would say.
Thanks for the service, Prince.

Is Kia the snake still his agent? Remember he once had the prince sitting on his bags at a Paris airport for days before returning tail between legs to Leicester. Nicknamed 'Viktor Navorski' by team-mates after Tom Hanks film character trapped at airport.

Good professional that worked out great for us after two poorish initial seasons. Won't really miss him, though, on a personal level.

Didn’t realise he was with Kia. Looks like he isn’t anymore, I can’t find anything linking them recently.

Absolutely ruthless against the lower teams. The last man you want to face against when ur 2/3 goals down. Probably the best first touch I have seen from a city player too,

I hated him for the first season, the peno miss at the dippers infuriated me but he really did grow on me.

The FA cup semi final kinda summed him up, didnt play that well, scored a hat trick inc an abs worldie where he ran from the half way line and got man of the match!
derby day the scores were level,
then the goat was fed by neville,
silly boy should know for sure,
feed the goat and he will score!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not forgetting his performance against PSG second leg the season we played Chelsea in the final. He was class that night.

Scored a great goal in Madrid the season before last as well in the semi that would have taken us to the final but for the crazy 60 seconds at the end.
