What's new

Riyad Mahrez

Id be shocked if Mahrez wasn't wearing the red of Liverpool come the start of the season. He'd be an instant starter there and a fantastic addition to there lethal attack. 

 
If we want to compete with the likes of City & United we have to pay these fees, if they want 70 million for Mahrez we need to pay it for players of his quality. Mahrez would probably relish coming here anyway, it's not like he has further ambitions at Leicester.

I'm still reluctant to signing him for a big fee but what can you do, we need players desperately.

It's a sad reflection on the world of football when people can keep a straight face when saying Mahrez and £70 million pounds in the same sentence.

Well look what Liverpool paid for a Southampton defender Kev, that's the way it is now. Bakayoko for 40 million will be considered cheap in a few years.

So because they’ve built on it and are looking to sustain it longer term they deserve pelters for it?

I’m the first to say I’m not happy with the direction the club is going in but everyone complaining about City and their signings just sounds like sour grapes and jealousy. 

We were once the big boys of the playground with money to splash and now there’s another kid with much more money, some of our fans can’t take it.

Spot on, we just need to get on with it, as clubs go we are the 4th or 5th in line in the country to be able to attract players now sadly. Manchester clubs are well in front of us when it comes to attracting players, as are dippers, and y*ds are as well (new stadium, good manager and young team) we are on a par with Arsenal now . As for Mahrez joining us? Dream on, waste of time discussing it in my opinion, we won't pay 70 mill and as I said above, the other clubs above are a more attractive proposition.

I'm living in a time where my own fellow fans want to sign an Algerian Joe Cole for 60m without even a smirk on the face or a hint of irony or caution. :laugh2:  We all have our tastes; maybe i'm crazier for wanting to bring Robben or Ribery here on a free instead, while waiting for the perfect player so we can actually integrate a long term plan. Ribery - Hazard - Robben for 2 seasons would win more than Hazard - Whoever - Mahrez would in 5. 

There's equal if not better potential in signing some select players for peanuts, as opposed to going all crazy over a player just because their name is always in the media (like the people who wanted Bakayoko.)

100m on Bakayoko and Mahrez when Bayern have spent around £10 on 5 elite midfielders; Juventus peanuts on quality midfielders; Man City, yeah maybe 100m or so like us, but actually on good quality players. 

Awful transfer targets these days :Laie_39:

In the event of Hazard leaving this season I could see Mahrez doing a job for us. I don't think we would be his first choice though.

 
Leicester probably look at Coutinho who is well overpriced and think someone is getting a bargain based on that price. For me there isn't much in it and certainly would like to see him playing for Chelsea.

Not sure why you are using Joe Cole as a pejorative... on his day Joe Cole was amazing. 

 
I prefer picturing Hazard and Mahrez in the same team next season, yes i still this it could happen.

 
He'll likely end up at City...

He doesn't have the off the ball workrate to be in the same side as Hazard. A little bit lazy, the pair of them.

Might work with three work-horse midfielders behind them, maybe... Kante, Nainggolan, and someone who's not Loftus Cheek or Bakayoko.

 
If he ends up in Man city as well just like Jorginho it's safe to say that Man city will defend their league title almost too easy.

 
Don't see why City needs Mahrez anyway, I know it's all about depth and another option, but they have got plenty already. Player like Mahrez used to play week in week out, not getting that will affect his performance. Last season all the players were cotend to play their parts to win the title, it will be different next season because every title winner believes he deserve a start, and a few may start throwing a bit of tantrums if they don't get what they want.
