Please can you help me out here, Mr Bluealf.
You don't think Mahrez will improve our first team.
Pep Guardiola seems to think he will.
Whom do you think I should believe?

He's entitled to his opinion and time will tell.
I think people find it hard to appreciate how far we have come this season and how good we actually are.
Is he better than Sane and Sterling is certainly debateable and the fact we can have a genuine debate on that shows there is quality there and there is not many in the PL we can be talking about.
We need a player in that position, to have someone who is beyond debate better then Sane or Sterling there is probably a handful, are any available, within our wage structure, transfer budget, would they be happy with rotation etc.
So I would want to know who Bluealf think we should buy.
My actual issue is he very rarely plays on the Left, Sterling is half the player out there and I don't think B. Silva has played there. I think we would have more balance with someone who was stronger on left, but could play right as opposed to the other way. With Sane out we may find having to go 5 at the back with wing backs as our default position.
That said I am happy with it, the money is a lot but probably market price in this inflated market. We will probably get told how can a 75 million player be on the bench, but in Sane and Sterling you probably have £100 million player.
