Riyad Mahrez

[Pam]

Are they not wearing a watch? It is fucking 1.30pm on deadline day. This is a dick move worthy of Arsene Wenger.

 

[Otamendi's Beard]

The price is going down quicker than Katie Price's knickers.

The source was ESPN to be fair, so it's unlikely to be that low.

If Coutinho was £140m, then I'd say anything below £90m represents decent value for money. Not much difference between them in age, impact, statistics etc.

Lol how about 55 million which your club is yet to reject.

 

[lozzers8]

They want Townsend apparently. Can't see Palace letting him go though.

I thought they had that new chap the one that scored twice along with Kelechi at the weekend Diabate ??

 

[foxedup]

Why do they need a replacement ? Doesn’t that Demarli Grey hardly play for them ?

Why do you need Mahrez when that Raheem Sterling plays for you?

 

[gh_mcfc]

£55m plus add ons seems fair.

Can we not send King Power a few million cartons of fags to sell to make up the difference

They (Palace) have just bought a replacement I think .

 

[Bewar3them00n]

£65m? get it done, he's better than Sanchez, and will only get better under Pep

This late in the window it would be stupid to sell, can't see Leicester being in any hurry !

That would be like us signing Mahrez and selling Sane. Defeats the true purpose.

They'll need someone else in.

 

[Pam]

Is it just me or does this transfer saga has the same traits as the sanchez debacle (by arses, not us) in the summer?

I don't like the sound of Leicester suddenly going on about finding a replacement in the next nine hours or whatever. Medicals and everything would need to be done.

Has Aubemayang(sp)@ £55m not just put a little perspective on transfers? I like Mahrez, but think Aubemayang should be a decent yard stick.

 

[Andrew___K]

Yeah, seems he's really doing his bit.
Our turn.

How could he 'upset the dressing room' if he's not even training? Leicester are clearly readying the public. Reminds of Arsenal transfers a bit, doesn't it? I guess the deal is largerly done.

 

[geoff clipp]

Is £65m is genuinely the asking price (and tbh, it's probably just speculation) then i'd be surprised if we were unwilling to pay it. It's an eye watering amount but compared to other transfers it's not that crazy. If we were never willing to offer that then it's kind of bad form in my opinion to stir up trouble on Leicester's side of things without being willing to pay a price which is probably on the low(ish) side of hat they could of asked for at this stage of the window and in the knowledge we have injuries.

If they want a suitable replacement its not going to happen.

 

[jonmcity]

Leicester City are demanding £65 million for Manchester City target Riyad Mahrez and are looking at possible replacements if their asking price is met, sources have told ESPN FC.

Think it will happen if we are so close.

Thats that then.... The express say so

Next they'll be saying Mahrez cures Alzheimer's.

 

[Homar]

Leicester should target Quincy Promes. He's available for £35m according to reports. Quick flight from Spain. This really all needs to be agreed in the next hour if there is going to be time left for Leicester to replace him.

 

[aguerooooo]

has anybody got confidence this will happen
