He said in an interview recently that after the surgery on his knee this is the first time he has been able to move it without pain in five years. I was very much of the opinion he was on the way out last summer, in a similar way to potato face, peaking so strong so early in your career sometimes means you decline earlier - and he has well and truly proved me wrong. If that was playing through pain I can imagine we might be about to see an even better season for Kun.

Agreed. Who's potato face?He said in an interview recently that after the surgery on his knee this is the first time he has been able to move it without pain in five years.

Don’t worry, I haven’t been paying attention to this thread as of late. ;-)I'm not committing to anything. Someone might ask me to provide tweets/stats to prove it :)

For me, this is bang on. The reason we know Mahrez is a special player is because the other team shits themselves whenever he gets the ball.Very excited about this one, others have said this, but he is one of the opposition players who when they get the ball you think “shit”

Agree with this. And the same can be said of our Kev, whenever he has the ball we always think he's going to do something magical.For me, this is bang on. The reason we know Mahrez is a special player is because the other team shits themselves whenever he gets the ball.

Why will he miss a lot of games?But, we still don't have a world class striker that would make us a genuine CL contender (Aguero will miss a lot of games and has declined a bit ).
He is world class or have you had your head up your arse for the last 7 yrs??

We know Kun will miss matches but no more than the rest unless he gets a bad one!

I used to feel that way when Sanchez was at Arsenal... hope Mahrez doesn’t go the same way.For me, this is bang on. The reason we know Mahrez is a special player is because the other team shits themselves whenever he gets the ball.

Done deal this. He will be a great option for us, very quick and direct but doesn't lose the ball. Great bit of business.

Any chance of Mahrez driving down to the Etihad to wait until the deal is done.
Christ i agree with you,i need a lie down lol
I think you need to remember your love affair with Bravo and see that Pep got that one wrong :p
Also the rather worrying JFE's saga.
But still the if pep says jump we jump mantra comes out, fuck me we can still dislike a player he likes, it isn't a crime
Thank god peps in charge & not some of you guys, we’ve already got a superb team with young players who will only get better next year, we’re planning ahead by slotting Jorginho in for Fernandinho , we’re trying to signing Mahrez who is a former player of the year who’s an excellent player who’ll keep everyone on their toe’s but no, that’s not good enough ....we want Neymar , we want Bale .....clueless...leave it to the experts , pep gets little wrong .
But still the if pep says jump we jump mantra comes out, fuck me we can still dislike a player he likes, it isn't a crime, it also doesn't make people clueless.
Mahrez is a good player, but he is not improving our first team in the slightest and that my old chum is the problem that Mancini got stuffed with and Pellers also for that matter.

Mourinho has got the knack of getting the best from players, dumping it and just leaving them the wrapper..He probably would if he played under Mourinho . Its a talent apparently.
Signing Mahrez will not improve our first team in the slightest ? Nothing to be said really ....time will tell.I think you need to remember your love affair with Bravo and see that Pep got that one wrong :p

But we wanted Hazard, Van Persie and De Rossi.You can't not be excited about getting a player as good as Mahrez. How he fits in? I don't much care. Pep will find a way. We're now getting genuine quality signings in our summer windows, every window.
Think back to getting Maicon, Rodwell, Sinclair in that horribly underwhelming 2012 window (Garcia was just about o.k. no more, no less), if you can bear it…
