Mahrez isn't wank, but he is the kind of player I could see being pushed out for Messi.
We all know he's good, but Pep doesn't trust him in big games. Picks Phil or Bernardo ahead of him a lot, and I wonder if not trusting Mahrez was the reason he started with Walker instead of Riyad which he did in previous games with the 352.
The fact he can only play RW, and slows us down and narrows the pitch because he's so left footed doesn't help. He lives in Messi's space on the pitch as well.
Also I reckon he's got decent resale value and a certain midlands club who are about to get £60m for Ben Chilwell desperately need a winger.
He's one of our top earners as well.
We might not be looking to let him go, but I have a feeling if someone came in for him, he'd be off.
Tbf to @Marvin he had all the same arguments thrown at him during the Sanchez saga and he proved a lot of people wrong on that one. Messi will always be the best for me but I think it's just as important for us to take a step back and ask will he/can he do what we need him to do? Will it effect our squad harmony regarding money, treatment etc. From what you read he is a man who has a lot of power at Barca will he accept just being one of the team who has to be rotated the same as everyone else? I think he is the best player ever but Marvin is right this isn't prime Messi and it will be a huge risk for us to assume that an older player who isn't known for his pace to fit in our league at what I assume would be a huge cost. It is worth reading the Barca fans forum I was surprised that they feel it might be for the best if he goes with many feeling it should have happened a couple of years earlier for the good of both him and the club. With many discounting City, Bayern and Liverpool because they don't feel he would be able to play our way and why would we need him.Wheras somebody like yourself who believes they are a lot smarter than they actually are miss what's right in front of their eyes. He's still the best, last weeks result doesn't change that, it's quite embarrassing to see claims of his demise based on one game when our very own Kev has performed far worse in a couple of games this season.
He isn’t wank, I think that about many players that I don’t like. I just have never warmed to him and don’t think he’s the right fit for us at all. Think I speak for a lot of City fans too. I was half excited, half cautious when we signed him and my opinion hasn’t changed after watching him for two years. His goals and assists don’t make up for his other weak attributes.
Link?Rumours in Catalonia indicate Messi is coming to us with Bernardo Silva going their in exchange.
Gutted if true.
