Rumours that Hakimi wants to leave PSG because ‘the South American’s don’t talk to him’.

It obviously sounds like bollocks but they seem a mess at the moment with all the Neymar stuff yesterday then the fans turning on Messi too, Mbappe leaving, Poch’s future uncertain, out of the CL etc. so wouldn’t surprise me.

I love Walker like every other blue so not sure it’s of any relevance to us but still, a big name player maybe on the market.

Wouldn’t be surprised to see a Conte link up at Spurs given them winning the league together with Inter - he’d be perfect wherever Conte goes really.

How long’s he got on his contract? 3 years I think? They’d make us pay through the nose, they need to stop the rot ASAP. Not realistic at the moment.

based on him being demonstrably profligate since the end of the 17/18 season? Nice guy, but he doesn't have that ruthless edge in his locker and that's why he hasn't nailed down the spot.

If he was to start each of the possible 17 remaining games this season, would you back him to score the 10-12 goals needed to win us all 3 trophies? I wouldn't, unlike with Kun I'd fancy us to have a chance in at least 2 out of 3 before Pep outsmarted himself in a CL tie and ruined it.

It’s true . It must be bad when we can’t trust you he only striker we have to score for us . Everyone raves that he is Great on the wing but we didn’t sign him to be a winger . Nice guy but needs to be in his way .

I’m no fan of his because he’s not my kind of player but he’s bloody good at times. Far to good for the shit show at Barca. Absolutely no chance he goes there but PSG could be an option if he were likely to move on. How longs left on his contract?

Mahrez has been brilliant but he is 31, in the last year of his contract, and we have Palmer waiting in the wings. Personally, I would not be averse to letting him go.

No one would be better to mentor Palmer.

This year has also been his best with City so there is no reason why he can't keep up this standard for another few years.

He is hardly injured and seems to be very well liked by the playing group.

I'd extend him for another 2 years.

I wouldn't be averse to that either but I always have a preference for young players coming through where possible, especially ones as gifted as Cole.

Mahrez’s injury history is just incredible - look at that. I hope we extend him year by year (if he’s still putting up similar numbers). He’s also expecting a baby with his gf who’s from Cheshire so can’t see him wanting to leave.

Yeah another year would be the best option for all I think.

I'd even be happy with him running his contract out, he's always seemed totally professional so I can't see him dropping his standards in his last year. We see him mentor Cole for another year and then free up his wages.
 
I'd expect Mahrez and De Bruyne to remain at the club as long as the other is here. You can see on the pitch that they love playing with each other.
