Riyad Mahrez

[Silva_Spell]

So, it was £75m yesterday, and now in the Gossip Column it's £60m.

So, as you all know what you're on about, what are we paying for him?

Reports have consistently said £60m plus £15m addons

Do you know anything about the transfer fee?

Who the flying fuck cares?

 

[Dr Jacoby]

All done.

He will take No.26.

Welcome Riyad :)

Next.

Great signing.

In my eyes, he’s underrated by many on here.

I consider him to be one of the most naturally gifted players in the league.

Would you consider him good or great though?

But he's not - IMO - a "squad/backup/reserve/2nd string player."
B. Silva is currently played mostly on the wing where he doesn't fit at all.
I think Pep bought him to play centrally - but at the moment we have so much talent there that he doesn't make the squad in spite of his talent.
I'm not saying that B. Silva will succeed for us - I think he will but it's not certain - I am saying that I don't see him as a winger in our side.

I agree with all you just said but I think of Mahrez in the same way. Not a guaranteed starter by any means but not "2nd string".

1st choice: Ederson, Walker, Otamendi, Kompany, Mendy, Fernandinho, Silva, KDB, Sterling, Sané, Agüero
Rotational options: Gündogan, Bernardo, Danilo, Delph, Jesus, Laporte, Stones
Back-up players: Bravo, Zinchenko, Foden, Díaz

For me, Mahrez fits in to that second list.

Quality signing he’s going to excel with pep

So if he joins and nobody leaves where does this leave Foden? He will be very lucky to even get on the bench?
