Who should replace Riyad Mahrez?

[Sleeping_Easy]

Dembele 50m release clause absolute no brainer

Set to join PSG apparently

 

[Sir peace frog]

Dembele 50m release clause absolute no brainer

when looking at his stats for his time with barcelona ,they aren't that impressive for an attacker with barcelona, average 6 goals a season,6 assists a season, or 1 goal and 1 assist every 5 games, does he give you the control pep seems to want with his wingers,or is he just a very fast winger until his hamstring pops,again, don't get me wrong, whenever i've seen him play he looks dangerous, but so did adama traore

Unless players are given a chance, that’s impossible to tell.

There's a way to give players a chance. Bobb and MacAtee should be used in the cups, but in the league we need a ready made bonafide replacement.

 

[yankblue]

I'll do it

 

[Exeter Blue I am here]

Yes. If fans cannot cope with a front line selection of Grealish, Foden, Gomez, Haaland, Alvarez, Bernardo, McAtee, Bobb and Palmer then there is something wrong.

You’ve named 9 players there, but 4 of them (Gomez, McAtee, Palmer and Bobb) aren’t remotely good enough yet for regular rotation never mind a starting berth, and I’ve got one or two reservations about Alvarez to be honest as well. A ruthless finisher, tenacious and looks good playing off a striking partner, but playing as a line leading centre forward he lacks a change of gear and frequently disappears.
Either way 5 (or 6 if you add Kev to the mix) attacking players of proven standard is a pretty small number for a club looking at a 55 game season. We need a couple of signings IMO….

Do u track back ?

Dembele is the player closest to Mahrez. In fact, he even said he imitates his game. But, I heard PSG are after him.

Shame would like his raw pace and for price no brainer

 

[richards30]

I wonder if we are interested in Gnabry again?

 

[Constantine]

People are usually hesitant about his injury history but yeah ...

 

[RayCTID]

Even if Kane does arrive I doubt Bayern will sell Gnabry and I doubt we were (or are) interested as much as I want us to sign Gnabry.

 

[Willtaylor]

We need a replacement, if we don't get someone we still have a great squad but in my opinion we're a little short, lots of goals/assists, minutes and experience lost in mahrez plus gundo

The market isn’t great but profile wise Olise is the one. Should be a relatively easy deal if his injury isn’t too bad

I think I Eze is better than Olise

Although Olise's mother is my compatriot (Algerian), I still wouldn't go for Olise. I've watched closely this season. His main strengths seem to be free-kicks and crosses/passes. I could be wrong.

 

[Sir peace frog]

leon bailey , i know for a fact he flew into manchester for talks with pep when he was still playing for that german club, right winger left footed, not sure how hes been doing for villa

Similar to the strengths of Mahrez then no? The 1v1 dribbling potential is there too.

He was(is) good friends with Sterling so can imagine it could have been him putting a word in for him. I know he started slow at Villa but seemed to have I,proved under Emery.

Could be wrong, though.

 

[RayCTID]

Olise is currently injured so is no use to anyone.

 

[FJRMCFC]

Eze is more of a number 10 type player I believe. And when he plays wide he’s normally on the left
