Riyad Mahrez

Don't get me wrong Mahrez on his day is a good player....on his day. We all know how good he and Vardy were in their title winning season but where has he been since?  If he is so good though, why did no one pick him up in the summer?  And here we are a week or so into the transfer window and yet still no solid rumours that he is connected to anyone.  IMO I don't think he is anymore than a squad player for CFC...a stronger squad player than we have currently maybe, but he is not going to stroll into the first 11.  We somehow always find a way to shoot ourselves in the foot one way or another in most transfer windows compared to our nearest rivals....save and except Arsenal  :laugh2:    This club flip flops on its plans when things start going awry.....one minute we are promoting youth, the next there's talk of them being farmed out yet again and we end buying mediocre and average players....same old, same old and you wonder why in more recent times the managers get frustrated.

Didn't Mahrez want a move last season and it affected his game and a number of us wondered if it was his mind or whether he had lost form and was inconsistent. So this season he appears to be back to the form when Leicester won the league. In that form for me he is a 50-60m player at his age.

 
he would be a great offensive addition! He was relentless with Leicester when they won the league ! His linkplay with Ngolo Kanté will be perfect !! If you add Drinkvodka with him too, our whole midfield will do wonders with Hazard and Alvaro upfront as these three guys would perfectly know how to play together ! Plus, he'll be a great addition to the squad and a better option than Willian! Also, he might be available for under 45 million £, or at least won't cost more than 50 million £!! To me, this is the transfer CFC should get as it could dramatically enhance our "team chemistry" and once again squad depth: pedro and fab are in their 30's, Mahrez and Barkley are 24-25, they could be our future midfield. Plus, not a lof of clubs are interested in him atm... this opportunity might never occur again if next summer RM or Barça make a ridiculous 87 million £ bid for him ! Might not be the best, but definitely one of the finest in the midfield position and would absolutely thrive with us insofar as we tend to play more offensive than leicester!

ps : we could sell leicester Bakayoko in exchange for a good amount :biggrin: ( joking of course ;) )!

Riyad Mahrez is likely to join Chelsea FC after revealing he grew up idolizing Didier Drogba. Can't be too sure if it happens during the current transfer window though. Mahrez is the perfect Pedro replacement.

 
As long as we buy good players I don't care whether they all come from the same club or not... I mean Bayern have raided all of their rivals since the begining of the bundesliga! Just like Real and Barça have done with other la liga clubs!! And people blame us for our transfers then :rolleyes: ...

 
We have to come to terms with the reality that we can't afford buying a lot of expensive players anymore. So, by that logic, Mahrez is affordable and a good investment in the first team. I agree that there's better, but these days players who perform well half a season are worth a minimum 85 million £ ...

A man can dream - but it's probably not going to happen.

That said - why would he go to Arsenal? They're cack.

Liverpool I can see but won't it be hilarious when their entire forward line f**ks off for the AFCON? When is the next one btw?

 
Imagine you're the board.
You're hoarding money for the new stadium.
You're in super penny pinching mode now.
You've just spent £15m for a versatile English midfielder. 
Why even buy Mahrez?
Who are we even kidding? 
They're not willing to fork out £10m more for arguably the best Left Back in the world, who like Marhez, is legitimately available. 
What makes anyone here think they'll buy him when we've got Pedro and Willian.
 

 
Agreed. I don’t think we’re interested. Plus the rumours are that we’re more interested in a target man, a big tall striker. 

We’ve had 1.5 windows to get him. We would have got him by now. 

 
if he is still available on deadline day and leicester offer him to us on a cheap (very unlikely) we may sign him just before the window closes!!

 
Would love to see Mahrez join, he'd be a perfect addition on the right, and edspite his age (27 next month) he is still definitely an upgrade on Willian and Pedro. 

Would hate to see him join the scousers, we need to get him

Why.... well, with the fact in mind that both Pedro and Willian are 30+ and may be better off sold at the end of the season... And that here is a good chance to buy a quality player in his prime and available and going for a reasonable price.

I don't think it'll happen, but I'll keep dreaming. :)
