Riyad Mahrez

[dw7]

That wasn't a panic buy. He has been their best player & is now deciding whether they live up to his ambitions.

True but was a panic buy at tge time

I'm a lot more excited at getting him than I was than when we were after Sanchez. Make it happen City..

 

[NorCalBlue]

Straight swap for Mangala?

 

[bluelol]

sense

If he sorts his hair out I’m in, if not he can fook off.

Thank god for that, some common sense at last!!. lol

True, but also they don't have time to get a replacement in. There's no benefit to them selling Mahrez right now.

Better than waiting for the World Cup to end ?

No it doesn’t

+1.
No way will the club want to potentially wreck their development by overplaying them too soon .
Can you imagine a 17/18 year old making the mistake that costs us a CL the crowd going fucking ballistic.. the social media circus that would ensue they may never reach their potential then. They are being progressed at a rate decided on by arguably the best in the world. There is no way the success of the club should be slowed to accommodate 16/17/18 year olds or senior players either come to think of it. If they are good enough they’ll get there.

Straight swap for Mangala?

Why not, they both have the same dribbling skills and first touch.

I didn't say they had no intention just that they are obviously in the driving seat and I think they would prefer to keep him. They can't stop us bidding but they can keep on turning our bids down. If one bid reaches silly money they may change their mind, who knows? Like everyone else I have no clue, as I said just giving my take on it.

We don’t really know what’s going on behind the scenes. Leicester could have been working on someone if we have put in a previous bid.

Not in this universe.

If we could get him in as a make weight it'd make our wage bill a bit lighter and would be a replacement for Maguire when he probably moves in the summer.
