Riyad Mahrez

The question no one has asked: what if Mahrez likes to play the trombone while standing in a bucket of salad cream?

Ha ha I've just literally laughed out loud at that. Piss funny.

Maybe they still owe us a balance from Kelechi? Give them that and waver any sell on fee we had on him

Everyone seems to be forgetting we need a squad large enough to play in four competitions at a high level. As much as I want to see Diaz, Foden being given game time they arent ready yet to step up to play 20 games in the premier or a CL quarter final. This guy can and is experienced enough to help the younger players improve. By him signing it won't stop youngsters progressing and will make us stronger moving forward. Imagine playing Bernardo for a couple of games and then just replacing him with Mahrez for a couple of games etc. All players stay fit and fresh. The youngsters get their minutes coming on with 15 to go when we are 3 up etc. We can't run players into the ground because other players are not up to it. That said anything more than £40 - £50m would in my opinion be a joke although they did pay £25m for Kelechi.

We’d survive the season quite easily without both Laporte and Mahrez, although I do think this is some of our summer business. The one position we need reinforcements in is DM.

It’s from left field but it makes so much sense

Been rumours of interest before so not totally left field; certainly makes sense.

Not may players we face shit me up when they get the ball but this guy does so I'd much rather see him in our squad.

Probably why we’re trying to keep a lid on this. It’s very late but mahrez hasn’t been happy at all. We seem to be at £55m from the few comments going around which I think that’s fair.

Can they afford to turn it down ?

Can a club with multi billionaire owners with money in reserve, who have taken about £150m more than other teams their level in the last season, who stand a chance of finishing 7th and getting into Europe afford to turn down £55m..... errrrr yes.

Does this look to be true as all media outlets are on this now?

 

[p.taker]

If Delph wasn't injured we could have used him as a makeweight now that we have Laporte who can play LB and Zinchenko.

Why would Delph want to go to Leicester?

 

[OB1]

The reaction and bleating would be fantastic.

There will be an absolute meltdown if we sign him tomorrow.

 

[capiloton]

please sign him.

Exactly. What happens when Sane is fit? We're going to have a €60m reserve to go with B Silva.

People won't like to admit it but it means fuck all to have world class training and academy set ups if we can't bring a player into the first team. Sancho left for this reason and is starting for Dortmund. Foden will not be short of offers and don't blame the lad if he goes.

Pep won't be here forever - this is once in a lifetime opportunity to back him and give him what he needs. Like it or not the kids aren't as good as some on here think. They have to be exceptional before he'll trust them. will happen - but not yet.
