Riyad Mahrez

[Andouble]

Mahrez, Silva, KDB, Sane, Nolito, Sterling sounds a bit overkill for the attacking midfield/second striker spots. and that's not even including nasri and navas who would be hard to get rid of.

maybe city put this out there to get the sane deal moving again since it seemed to make progress the day this broke? or simply mahrez camp linking his player to all rich clubs.

No from me.
Class player but goes missing when the going gets tough and we have enough of them in our team already.

 

[Otamendi's Beard]

Not sure why people think he goes missing?

Whenever Leicester needed a goal it was him that popped up with the goal or assist. They won loads of 1-0 games at the business end of the season and Mahrez certainly wasn't 'missing' then.

 

[Phil1]

It's hardly a surprise that his contract talks have stalled when there's so much interest in him. He knows a big pay day is on the cards so all he has to do is sit tight.

 

[Super David Silva 21]

£33 million and the rest.

@Ric just paper talk or is there something in this?

Not heard anything myself, but think France Football are fairly reliable. I'd be very surprised if we went for both Mahrez and Sane though. Presume Mahrez was a back-up option in case the Sane deal fell through.

Could be room for him if there's something in the Navas to Sevilla talk

 

[leewill31]

Maybe this one is in response to his dad coming out and saying bayern and real are interested some gamesmanship coming from citys side?

Not if we are buying Gabriel Jesus in Jan.

Would happily swap Navas and Nasri for Mahrez and Gabriel

Cheers mate

He was the league's best player last season, I'd love to seem City in for him.

 

[Rammyblues]

Just a thought, wouldn't he be great to alternate with Aladinsane (see what I did there) :-)

 

[The Silver Surfer]

The best player in the league last season goes missing when the going gets tough?
They beat enough top sides last year to prove that is evidently not the case.

 

[kippax kid]

Do we have any bid in or is this paper talk ???

Not disputing his class but most Leicester fans have this opinion of him and my point is that if true we have too many players like this anyway.

Apparently Arsenal bound now.... but surely they need a striker which should be there priority

BREAKING: Riyad Mahrez has picked Arsenal as his next club and discussions were ongoing in Lens yesterday. No fee agreed yet (EuroSport)

Sanchez Ozil mahrez

Just lack a top class striker now.

That, however, is a sentence that has been applicable for numerous seasons, not simply now. It's akin to assembling an expensive jigsaw, standing back to admire its beauty, yet all the time ignoring the awkward gap where the missing piece should be.
