Tbh i can't understand how he's playing for Leicester until this day. Obviously a player for a top team.

Leicester moving the goal posts every transfer window definitely hasn't helped him.
Leicester fan in peace.
I do think that Chelsea will bid for him as soon as they sort out their manager problem if the deal with your club isn't done until then. Mahrez is one of our greatest players ever. There aren't many players in the league that can beat their opponent like he does, he's an intelligent player with a great vision and his first touch is honestly one of the best, if not the best in the world. He's also never injured.
Sure, he has poor games (which player doesn't) but when he's on it, he's unplayable. It is also worth to say that Danny Simspon, our RB, whilst being a very solid defender and covering for Mahrez (the latter does track back but is shit at defending) is absolutely crap going forward. This means that Riyad operates alone upfront, with more than often two or three opponents on his back.
Our season after winning the title looked like a never ending hang-over, we lost a key player in Kanté and he as well as the rest of the team didn't do great. But this season, under Puel he came back to his 2015/16 level, some of us dare say he was even better. Then you guys bid for him and as the deal collapsed, he snapped out and went on strike, breaking the team's momentum which ultimately cost us the 7th place. He still was one of the best performers of the second half of the season.
Whilst being gutted to see him go, a large majority of us are convinced that he's going to reach another level if he's coached by Pep and surrounded by better players.

I suppose it is an example of the financial strength of English clubs.

You know why he’s not a player who excites you in my opinion? It’s because you have seen a lot of him. I reckon someone like Leon Bailey might excite you. Because it’s the unknown quantity. Despite him not being as good.
Just a guess.
Tomie said that both Jorginho and Mahrez will be done in the next few days in the Isco thread
Mahrez - 23 goals, 20 assists.
If thats the bench mark for fuck all I guess Sane and David Silva are shit too...
Merlin - 18 goals, 25 assists
Sane - 23 goals, 27 assists

As a sub he will do great. Sometimes you just need the talent around you. He maybe lost motivation at Leicester but on his day he’s quality

That has potential,i might start a thread about player nicknames tomorrow so we can get them straight and those who dont like them can have a moan haha
Can't believe some on here aren't happy with signing Mahrez. Also that he won't be a starter.! This kid is electric and with a summer of no football, will rip the premiership up with top players around him.
Reminds me of skinny David Ginola with a shit hairdoo lol
