Riyad Mahrez

[jaiguruKun]

Wildly underestimating both Mahrez and our situation. Yes we can probably coast to the league title on what we have at present, even with an inevitable dip due to injuries but signing Mahrez allows us to go all out for an unprecedented four trophies. Whilst i dont think we will manage it personally, even with Mahrez, I don't think we will ever have such a strong chance again and effectively passing on the chance to save a few quid is absolute lunacy. There's potential never to be seen again history to be made this season, Txiki and pep seem to recognise this and will do everything to give us the best chance of making it happen.

Fifty fucking pages to catch up and still no wiser as to where we are. Typical transfer window.

Give it another hour and their will be another 50.

Pep when asked about Mahrez: "I have interest in a lot of players. The window is open until the 31st. I've spoke many times with the club to see what is best with the players we have. We have just 3 strikers, with Raheem, for next month or month and ½. We have to find solutions."

This pursuit of Mahrez is yet more confirmation of how steely and single-minded we are these days. Pep won't settle for a single trophy less than he can possibly achieve.

Sancho is 17 and started the last two league games for Dortmund because he is ready.

Good enough is old enough.

He's actually started the last 3 and they've drawn against 11th, 12th and 13th.

That might be fine at Dortmund but that's not fine here, good enough is old enough but you have to be bloody good to come in and play at our level at the moment. Brahim and Foden have been managed just right this season. They've been given minutes at the top level surrounded by world class players and it's about gradually increasing that season upon season.

So, one player is too blame for all the poor results ?
Fuck me you don`t half spout some shite.Thankfully we have people at the club who clearly have better footballing knowledge than yourself.

Correct....anyone struggling to see what Mahrez brings doesn't really get Pep and the options he likes to have in his sometimes changing system and set up....and I'm all for giving kids a chance but only when they are ready
at the minute Foden and Diaz are only ready for cameo appearances, throwing them in now week in week out will do more harm to them than good....patience with young players is important and if anyone in world football knows how to use and treat young players it's Pep

Agree with this. Personally I would welcome Mahrez with open arms. Very good player IMO.
