Riyad Mahrez

has anybody got confidence this will happen

No

How could he 'upset the dressing room' if he's not even training? Leicester are clearly readying the public. Reminds of Arsenal transfers a bit, doesn't it? I guess the deal is largerly done.

Reading between the lines, sounds like he's refused to play tonight. So it's probably the fact that he isn't there that's pissing them off.

I am hopeful

Has Aubemayang(sp)@ £55m not just put a little perspective on transfers? I like Mahrez, but think Aubemayang should be a decent yard stick.

Aubameyang would probably have been closer to £80m though if he were a couple of years younger and it hadn't abundantly clear for a while that his relationship with Dortmund had disintegrated beyond repair.

Leicester City are demanding £65 million for Manchester City target Riyad Mahrez and are looking at possible replacements if their asking price is met, sources have told ESPN FC.

Think it will happen if we are so close.

If their valuation is 65m, you'd think it could be done at around 60 with the odd sweetener. My assumption is they would want more than that though. Still think this looks unlikely.

Less than half the cost of Coutinho sounds fantastic to me.

Mahrez is a better fit than Sanchez albeit in the wrong wing.

 

[better dead than red]

Why do you need Mahrez when that Raheem Sterling plays for you?

Why did you need Kelechi when that Jamie Vardy plays for you? *shrugs*

Nailed on.

If they want a suitable replacement its not going to happen.

The replacement stance is just a bargaining ploy for more money.
They know, given their position, they can happily sit on the shiny 60M plus and plan for the summer.

Are they not wearing a watch? It is fucking 1.30pm on deadline day. This is a dick move worthy of Arsene Wenger.

They are acting on behalf of the best interests of their club. It's business. Exactly what we would expect our club to do.
