Riyad Mahrez reportedly in line for new contract

[Rhapsody in Blue]

More important player than Raz and Jesus but also older. Probably the one I’d want to keep of the three still.

Mahrez has been excellent the past two seasons but it's a little strange to see us offering a 31 y/o a massive new contract while selling two attackers who are both in their mid-20s. Feels like a massive change of policy from the board.

Think the other two wanted to leave for more game time (which is understandable) and Mahrez is happy at City. An extra couple of years for a super talented player who wants to be here, is very rarely injured and now has a level of output that is needed from a player in that wide position is good enough for me.

Or the manager said he wanted to keep Mahrez.

Mahrez wanted to stay, unlike the other two. Simple as that

As if this just happened. Wait until under a year left then start, exclusive.

If I was given a choice out of which of Jesus, Sterling and Mahrez to keep, I’d have said Mahrez, he’s quality. Best first touch I’ve ever seen, including Messi. Looks naturally fit too, so can see him continuing at the same level for a few years yet.

He's the best guy for Palmer to learn from which is a big plus. All the players love him. Hardly injured and one of our best performers in the CL.

Sorry folks but this is crazy if true. I’ve said before that his age, lack of pace, lack of defensive pressure and inability to play anywhere other than right side of a front 3 makes him a luxury signing and not one we need to keep. Don’t see any other teams looking to buy him.

That makes him especially easy to sell...

His age means he will most likely retire with us
In the Prem. He seems to stay up top. Allowing Walker to concentrate on the defensive side. Doing very little work
tracking back himself. But in the Chumps league he does work defensively more.

In the Prem. The low block stops us from seeing his true pace. I can say. He’s not as fast as Walker.
He doesn’t need to be most of the time. His first touch sets him up. And other times. He moves the ball slower. Either trying to lure in the challenge or move the defenders enough to create a small gap to be exploited by himself or others.

There are no luxury players at City.

Id sooner he be sold.

While he can have his moments of brilliance,just like Sterling,he's far too inconsistent and flaky.

When the chips are down....you dont look for/to Mahrez.
