Welcome Riyad Mahrez

[Centurions]

Did Owen Hargreaves win it with them and us? Also im sure Mark Swartzer was reserve keeper to Leicester and Chelsea when they both won it. Quite a high possibility that im wrong on both though.

He only played 13 minutes for us in the 2011-12 season so he definitely wouldn't have got a medal, I'd say no myself.

and Swartzer?

 

[Mike D]

He will be a welcome adding some much needed experience to that front line.

"In 176 games for Liverpool, Coutinho scored 48 goals and provided 39 assists.

Mahrez has played 167 times for Leicester and scored 46 goals with 33 assists."
@christen at St Marks

Mahrez cost 60m, while Coutinho cost 142. Put into consideration that Coutinho played for a far better team. Mahrez could be a bargain

Spot on, especially with Leicester wanting upwards of £75m just six months ago.

Leicester City posted this bye bye...

Good comments from most of the Leicester fans on there as well. Fucking right contrast to the Scousers (and to be fair us when Distin and Sturridge left us as well).

We are not a happy bunch when we lose a player :)

 

[razman]

didn't know this was today....some good quotes to look forward to then

 

[Neville Kneville]

My rag mates in Norway are very impressed & worried by this signing.

 

[Armaan]

Mahrez is gonna be one of the worlds best in our side. His stats are better than Son, Coutinho, Hazard etc in a much weaker side. He’s gonna be out of this world.

Take it this was a poor turnout?

Was always going to be, we're not the type of fanbase to get delirious like that over a new signing and it was at a shit time for anyone working.

 

[citygal1]

That was what I was thinking so this morning I checked out the odds. Disappointingly not worth it this time.

What were the odds and what site was u on

What were the odds and what site was u on

5/6 odds-on for 100 goals or more

I googled it and looked at first result. There maybe better odds, but I thought they would all be similar so didn't pursue it

Exactly. Even if we signed Neymar and Messi and had a double unveiling we wouldn’t get more than 200/300 attending. Us Mancs just aren’t cheesy people.

 

[Blue Til Death]

So looking forward to watching him when he slots in seamlessly alongside the best midfield on the planet and starts terrorising all before him.
Great signing by City, bring it on, hope he plays in the CS game...

You'd get 200 on here slagging Txiki off over the fee and wages a lot quicker :)
