26 | Riyad Mahrez - 2022/23 Performances

And burns it to the ground?

Apparently sh1t doesn't burn sadly

Anything over £40m would be great business.

Best first touch in football. FFS.

If the saudis are going to pony up 107 mil a year, we should say 80 mil minimum. They obviously can afford it and if they want him bad enough, pay up

 

[Bournemouth Blue]

If you believe everything in the media, Mahrez, Gundogan, Silva, Laporte, Phillips, Cancelo all leaving, we might get Kovacic and Kimmich (maybe) but it leaves us far weaker. I can’t believe the club would allow so many departures in one window.

Phillips has hardly played for us and Cancelo clearly isn’t coming back. Laporte has had a face like a smacked arse all season. Bernie has apparently wanted to leave for a couple of seasons and Gundog is looking for his best option given his age. I could certainly see a scenario where they all leave.

Besides Bernie and gundog, the rest are easily replaced

I would argue it's not easy to find a squad player of the caliber of Laporte.

If the Gvardiol links are true it would suggest that we are replacing him with a younger more athletic player and letting them compete for the LCB spot. I think Ake would be okay with being a squad player on merit.

If Gvardiol comes with a hefty price, he will probably be a starter, re: Grealish case. Ake squad player? He might be forced to accept it for one half-season or one season but probably no more than that. Cancelo's case is still fresh.

No but since Laporte has barely sniffed a game, it’s not like it’s a huge area of concern

 

[IrishBlueSince92]

He’s gone I think
I’m a bit sad that he didn’t get a run in any of the big games at end of this season tbh
