Riyad Mahrez

[dw7]

That wasn't a panic buy. He has been their best player & is now deciding whether they live up to his ambitions.

True but was a panic buy at tge time

 

[nellyonthewing]

I'm a lot more excited at getting him than I was than when we were after Sanchez. Make it happen City..

 

[NorCalBlue]

Straight swap for Mangala?

 

[bluelol]

sense

If he sorts his hair out I’m in, if not he can fook off.

Thank god for that, some common sense at last!!. lol

 

[Neville Kneville]

True, but also they don't have time to get a replacement in. There's no benefit to them selling Mahrez right now.

Better than waiting for the World Cup to end ?

No it doesn’t

+1.
No way will the club want to potentially wreck their development by overplaying them too soon .
Can you imagine a 17/18 year old making the mistake that costs us a CL the crowd going fucking ballistic.. the social media circus that would ensue they may never reach their potential then. They are being progressed at a rate decided on by arguably the best in the world. There is no way the success of the club should be slowed to accommodate 16/17/18 year olds or senior players either come to think of it. If they are good enough they’ll get there.

Why not, they both have the same dribbling skills and first touch.

 

[Ian]

I didn't say they had no intention just that they are obviously in the driving seat and I think they would prefer to keep him. They can't stop us bidding but they can keep on turning our bids down. If one bid reaches silly money they may change their mind, who knows? Like everyone else I have no clue, as I said just giving my take on it.

We don’t really know what’s going on behind the scenes. Leicester could have been working on someone if we have put in a previous bid.

This.

Not in this universe.

If we could get him in as a make weight it'd make our wage bill a bit lighter and would be a replacement for Maguire when he probably moves in the summer.

 

[blueinsa]

Well this spells an end to Foden and Diaz's careers here... Not even been given any real opportunities to shine.

Cool story except it isnt true lol but great over reaction and right on message the media are now trying to portray.

 

[paulchapo]

Whatever mate- sorry but you’ve burnt my cap out...

That's ok like everyone else I am just speculating,as I said I am not privy to what Leicester are thinking I may be way off the mark.

 

[Franknorgrovesnephew]

Not a chance on us offering this type of money for mahrez surely,good player but nowhere near worth the money being banded about..

 

[JimmyGrimble10]

Algeria didn't make the World Cup and City wouldn't wait until then to do a deal. Again, it makes considerable more sense from Leicester's point of view to wait until the summer than flog him last minute to City without an adequate replacement.

 

[blueinsa]

Write it off, throw in mang and £20m

Many ways to skin the cat.

Do you think that Pep will be panicking if we don't sign Mahrez ?

Looks happy enough to me.

 

[Gordyola]

Both could still be playing for City in 20 years

Yeah true but from now on 60m will get you average players here in England.

We paid 50m for Walker, Stones and Sterling.
