Who should replace Riyad Mahrez?

[Johnny Mars Bar]

Bernardo and Foden with a little bit of Bobb or Palmer.Think the bigger question is who backs up Grealish on the left.

Joao Felix. Today would be an ideal time to set the ball rolling.

Atletico want too much money for him. Maybe we can try and include Laporte in a swap.

Where is that unlike button.? He wasn't good enough for Chelsea why would he suddenly be the right player for us?

Well, if you are going to answer your own questions .....

Let it go he is gone ffs

 

[decmancity]

Cause it's utterly ridiculous. WHY the hell do we sell Mahrez if we can't find a replacement?

Didn't have a choice.

Well Chelsea are impotent in final third, with us he would have more chances, but tbf i see him more like a second striker and not a winger

I think it will be Cancelo and there is no coincidence he has been fully involved with the preseason prep. If Pep didn’t want him he would be nowhere near the Asian tour. He’s changed Stones into a defensive mid, Cancelo with his control and ability to thread a pass could easily be converted into where Mahrez played or move onto the other side for Grealish if needs be.

I agree it could well be Cancelo, if he looks to be getting regular game time on the wing at 6.0 he would be an incredible asset

 

[Skrastins]

Well there few
If we are doing by potential - Palmer, Bobb, Olise, Cherki
By goals/assist replacement- Neymar, Kvaradona, maybe Vinicius if RM gets Mpaypal

I don't see him at City to be honest. The price is ridiculous and I'm not convinced he is good enough also.

He is not in KDBs class. We all knew that Kev was going to be a star, remember he was Bundesliga player of the year before he came to us. Felix hasn't showed that consistency anywhere he's played, hence he's been out on loan and Atletic don't want him, although they want a crazy amount of money for him.

This. Still don't understand why we're not interested. Also doubt he'd be bought near the price he's quoted at.

You mean something like defensive winger?

Vini jnr (who they won't sell) plays on the left. Neymar (who's old) plays predominantly on the left. Kvaradona(who surely they won't sell to us) plays on the left. Mahrez plays on the right.

I’d definitely take Felix on loan with an option? Apparently Pep and Txiki loved him at benfica

[Goater=Legend]

Where exactly do people expect Felix to play?

He certainly isn't getting ahead of Haaland and Alvarez.

He’s too flakey, wouldn’t want him.

I don’t see us with any of those, but I think the right’s well covered the left isn’t ,just Grealish. But we won’t go big on that cover if we do go that way.

People who watched the recent U21 tournament will be thinking that there are few players in world football with more potential than the three young players we have in our squad - Palmer, Bobb, and Sergio Gomez were all among the very best.
