Barcelona don't want Mahrez. Looks like Chelsea in pole

 

 

news from express and mirror, obviously it would be out of this world if we can swoop two of the best player in the premiere league last season in one transfer window, think we're easily the favorites for the league title if this happened

 

idk if the rumor is true with conte already confirming cuadra-doh will be back, but hazard on the left and mahrez on the right will be damn unreal

[comtrend]

I think favourites for a league title need a solid defence, we are far from having that atm.

[havelschayes]

yes and that if we can revamp our back 4, was about to edit my post

but still adding mahrez will be an unreal addition, maybe as a number 10 if conte decide to go back to 4-2-3-1?

[Guest Sindre]

Would be a fantastic signing. Unreal last season and very, very good towards the end when they escaped relegation too.

[ForeverCarefree]

If it means Caudrado doesn't come back I'm all for it.

[Spiller86]

Don't really see how he would fit the plan. Hazard, Pedro, Cuadrado, Mahrez and Oscar seems a big number to carry with no European football. Particularly if we move to wingbacks some games.

I don't care to be honest, the bigger the squad the better in my opinion. I'm fed up with going into a new season with small squads. With a bigger squad, we have more competition and more options if things go wrong.

[Droogba]

Lordy, Kante AND Mahrez? Wowser

[evissy]

We don't need a massive squad without CL.

Agree with this, can we really afford to have 4/5 internationals sat in the stand every week.

Gone are the times when we could have 2 top internationals for each position.

[EdinburghBlue]

Would be chuffed with this, I reckon he'd come straight in to the first team for us, that would be IMO teo of the best players in the league on current form.

He's Looking for a move if would seem with refusing a contract extension.

Cuadrado is going back to Juve. 

 

Pedro will be on the bench. 

 

Oscar is sh*t, will remain on the bench.

 

An attacking trio of Hazard---Willian----Mahrez would be brilliant. 

[Ukraine Bolt]

Cuadrado is going back to Juve. 

 

Pedro will be on the bench. 

 

Oscar is sh*t, will remain on the bench.

 

An attacking trio of Hazard---Willian----Mahrez would be brilliant. 

 

Conte said in his presser Cuadrado will return.

 

Pedro won't be happy on the bench.

 

Hopefully Oscar will be sold.

 

Moses is having a great pre season again and i think Conte will use him.

 

I highly doubt we'll carry on playing 3 attacking mids with the likeliness of going two up top.

[wallosh]

Cuadrado is going back to Juve.

Pedro will be on the bench.

Oscar is sh*t, will remain on the bench.

An attacking trio of Hazard---Willian----Mahrez would be brilliant.

Barcelona's MSN will be scared of our attack.

[PloKoon13]

I think Mahrez would fit pretty well into Barcelona's current system, although obviously he would never, ever start over their current options.

[Michael440]

Some recent reports say we already signed him. Probably BS but who knows.

[Xfaxtor]

Were? Seen zero reputable sources saying so

[JM7]

I can't see him coming to us. Even if he does, it will be a huge fee - £50-60m for a player that had one good season in a really good team.

Not convinced.

Agreed, we at least had the Euros to see if Kante was the real deal. Haven't had the chance to see if Mahrez can handle himself on the big stage. Quality player last season though

[JJP]

I think it will be a quality signing, especially if he play him on the right/ We've been massively lacking a great player on the right side, unless you count Willian but i think its fair to say he's much better as a 10 than a RW

That and he's a pretty limited player.

[PloKoon13]

To be fair Mahrez is a 'proper' winger, whereas Willian is an attacking midfielder who happens to [mostly] play a wide role. 

[Ukraine Bolt]

That and Willian is just Ramires version 2 on the wing. 

[jack_super_class]

That and Willian is just Ramires version 2 on the wing. 

 

Not really Willian is good a technical footballer, Ramires isn't.

[Ukraine Bolt]

Not really Willian is good a technical footballer, Ramires isn't.

 

Good technical footballer lmao. Pace merchant with an abundance of stamina and very little else.
