August 8, 20169 yr So there's a sports journalism student on Twitter who met with Conte at a hotel, presumably to interview him. Anyway, as he's leaving Mahrez turns up and checks into said hotel. The journalist student claims Mahrez agent was there too and said Chelsea are interested in Mahrez. He's got photos of himself with both Mahrez and Conte at the hotel. Might be worth keeping an eye on that one.
August 8, 20169 yr This reminds me of football manager when I'd sign good players just because I could. Obviously I'd be delighted with the signing but there are more pressing positions we need to be looking at such as a CB and a striker.

August 8, 20169 yr Lol well that makes for an interesting story. It's got a bit of plausibility to it rather than Tachenardi BOOMING us with bullsh*t but as with all things on Twitter I am hugely sceptical.
August 8, 20169 yr Remains to be seen if Mahrez signs but if we don't sign a CB perhaps Conte believes the best form of defence is attack.
August 8, 20169 yr Not sure we need Mahrez when we have Cuadrado? Mahrez is ten times the player Cuadrado is.
August 9, 20169 yr Author Can we just close this thread? He ain't coming here. thanks for the jinx bro
August 9, 20169 yr Imagine if we play a 4-3-3 the depth and quality we would have in attacking positions with this signing. Costa Batshuayi Hazard Traore Mahrez Moses Willian Pedro Cuadrado This obviously doesn't include Remy or Kenedy either but i'm assuming they're both off either sold or on loan. Easily the best attack in the league right there. Edited August 9, 20169 yr by RIP Mourinho
August 9, 20169 yr Moses and Cuadrado mentioned in the best attack in the league.... Both been fantastic in pre season to be fair to them, however i still see Cuadrado leaving personally.
August 9, 20169 yr Wouldn't read too much into it, our players regularly stay at that hotel as they use the owners helicopter from Battersea just over the river to come back to Leicester.

All based on some stalker and an "agent" confirming to said random stalker that 1) he's an agent and 2) Chelsea want Mahrez. You got the better player with Kante if you ask me so I'd stop there, Mahrez is massively inconsistent. He's one of them that looks amazing on match of the day in 5 minute highlights.... not so much when you sit through the other 85 minutes of trash.
August 9, 20169 yr You have to admit there seems to be a bit of smoke there? Why would they all be in the same hotel, there's plenty in London to choose from. As for massively inconsistent, well he is a winger, they take more risks and so will lose the ball on occasion.... he was absolutely incredible last season...thats why he ended up the the PFA award...
August 9, 20169 yr Wouldn't read too much into it, our players regularly stay at that hotel as they use the owners helicopter from Battersea just over the river to come back to Leicester. Mahrez had his car.

August 9, 20169 yr Mahrez had his car. So it's impossible to get a helicopter if you also have a car? I'm just telling you that he and others regularly use the hotel as a base to catch the owners helicopter. There are pictures of them all the time going up and down the country in them.
August 9, 20169 yr Am I detecting a wee hint of bitterness here? Bitterness about what, you haven't signed him, no credible source has said you're even interested. I've been through all this with Arsenal fans who saw him at a London hotel before and presumed he was signing for them. If you happen to fancy him, then cheers for the £50m we'll just go and buy someone else. I don't get too hung up on comings and goings. When the rumours about Kante surfaced I can on here and told you I thought he was by far the better player. I'm just repeating what I said then. In my opinion Kante is better because he's a 90 minute players and always gave us a 9/10... he should have won player of the year hands down. The only reason he didn't is because he's not a highlights player like Mahrez, you'll only get him and see how good he is when watching a full game. I wouldn't want to lose Mahrez, as he has unique abilities. I'm not sure he'd get the same backing he does here at another club, because if you get 6 games of dross from him he'll be on the bench. We would still try and make room for him.
