If we walk away from this will we be looking at other options or just making one signing this window..

I think we'll need another forward/wide player regardless. We got lucky that Sterling and Sane's injuries didn't overlap and that Bernardo filled in the way he did. If both get injured at the same time, we'll definitely have to play Jesus and Bernardo out wide with Aguero up top at least once or twice, depending on fixtures. Unless we play a back 3, in the absence of one or both of them, it could be difficult to adjust without a proper backup.
 
Of all the names we have been linked with Mahrez was the one player I believe could significantly add to our squad. Just get it done ,2 years down the road if we have a cabinet full of trophies whose going to count the cost.
 
When opposition fans are saying he won’t add much to the squad I just get the feeling Mahrez would be ridiculous in this team. He’s got everything as a footballer, and Pep would have him working hard for the team in no time.

Dead right!

That said, if once we wrap up the Jorginho deal with Napoli and the Mahrez negotiatons drag on a week after that without an agreement we will walk away.

I sincerely hope this is not the outcome but any refusal by Leicester City to accept our highest offer ceiling and we should walk away.

The question of player sales to fund incoming transfer activity is becoming a crucial matter.

I very much suspect we have walked away from the table to get Leicester to budge. You can't negotiate non stop for 3 weeks surely??

He has thrown his rattle out of the pram when he was denied a move over a couple of seasons back. Temperament issues possibly?

Not sure about a couple of years ago but he was annoyed when Leicester would not let him join us at Xmas. I think it is more that he is ambitious and wants to play at the highest level. We would offer him that platform.
 
Mahrez either comes to City or goes to l'pool. If it's the first City are a sure bet to win the league again, if it's the second the dippers will push us hard.
 
Mahrez is not a 75 million player or else he he would be in city shirt by now. If Kia part of this haggling , than good fucking luck .
