Riyad Mahrez

[geoff clipp]

all indications we were allocating resources for a central midfielder. I'm not sure it's necessary to buy a 70m player to cover for a 6-7 week injury.

Neither do I and I expect the club aren't that stupid either, which leads me to draw the conclusion that the plan has always been to sign a winger (as proven by our interest in Sanchez). It's not a stretch to believe that something like this was earmarked for the Summer and a decision has been made to bring it forward in light of what has happened. So maybe the injury has led us to accelerate things slightly, but i doubt our whole transfer strategy has changed or anything else we felt was needed has been binned off to make way for this. We seem to be run pretty well these days, we set our limits and stick to them and often do our business quietly. It probably isn't quite the attempted panic buy people think it is.

Still not a source to warrant much enthusiasm imo , but feel free.

What enthusiasm is that then? I simply relayed a statement...

About 30 hours.

Arf!

The question no one has asked??? What if Mahrez looks just as improved for City as Iheanacho did?

It was only snark, mate, no dig on you. ;-)

Lol I’d actually like this to happen. He’s 26 ? They wanted £50m in the summer from Liverpool so can’t see them wanting much more. Don’t think we have time though

How long left on his contract ?

Signed 4 years in Aug 2016, so if he hands in a transfer request, it's saving Leicester a lot of money on paying it up in a normal transfer.

Anyone remember the last time we signed an Algerian ! Didn't work out too bad

Belmadi and Abdoun?

Way too much short-termism. Foden and Diaz's path is hard enough.
