Riyad Mahrez

[kenbelly]

Thanks for the memories Riyad, his touch was sensational at times, a pleasure to have seen it in the flesh, glad he’s gone to another league, he had us on toast many times for Leicester.
That said he also went missing for us so I can see the frustration from our fan base, I hope Jimmy Mac and Bobb get to stake a claim for his position.

Frustrating at times as there were games where he seemed to let players run past him or go to tackle them and pull out letting them have a free run down the wing but on his day he has been sensational for us, his first touch is the best in football it tended to be his second or third when he cut in on his left foot where it sometimes went iffy, well worth the fee and he will absolutely tear that league up, good luck Riyad.

Hes been a great signing for us, that run towards the final in '21 he was unplayable. Probably the best first touch ive seen play for us and achieved a hell of a lot here.

FFS who now?

Gives an opening for somebody to be second choice right wing

But we are talking Pep and who knows what new chapter he's going to write in his Football Bible this season.
I could see a 3-3-3-1 formation possible.

I would argue and say Bernardo has a better first touch. But that’s my opinion.

Correct. And David Silva had the best touch of any City player I've seen in 40 years.

I didn’t know Drogba won 4 PL and 4 FA Cup tbh

Sneaked that last PL title in 2015 when he scored 4 goals.

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

McAtee off the right hand side from that training vid!

 

[Gundoggin]

Been a fantastic player for us , magical sublime first touch. 33 now good luck to him .

 

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

He’s been a fantastic player, but I won’t miss all the Mahrez fanboys. A bit like the Dzeko lot who all disappeared as soon as he left

 

[Asa's left peg]

Mini statue ?!

 

[Corky]

Good business.

You'd be very wrong though.

 

[The blue phantom]

Been a great asset. To think the absolute toxic abuse he's had on here, Probably like no other player.

 

[cookster]

Did a great job for us. 30m is excellent business now get Leroy back.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo chance.

Mahrez has the best first touch in the world.

 

[SCEtoAUX]

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo chance.

Mahrez has the best first touch in the world.

Agreed.

 

[red 2 hats]

Good luck Riyad, you've won it all in England, some wonderful goals and a first touch to die for, under appreciated by some but for me you've been a delight to watch.

Same owners as Newcastle... watch this space

I have hopes that Walker will stay, and the club certainly think it’s possible.

As for Bernardo it’s a case of if someone bids the asking price he’s gone. So let’s just hope nobody does that. Because we all love Bernardo and I really do think the man’s irreplaceable!

Doesn’t seem the greatest strategy unless they have a deadline for bidders. He wants to go, so if someone makes a decent offer late in the window either we’re stuck with cash and a hole in our squad or a very unhappy player.

There was some talk that Newcastle would be "loaned" players by the owners on talkshite earlier .
