Riyad Mahrez

How likely are City to deal with joorabchian???

Just took a look at one of the Leicester City fan's forums. It's being reported there that Mahrez is buying a house in London, they seem to think he will be more likely going to Arsenal in summer, rather than ourselves.

They probably can’t even spell the word house let alone know where London is on a Leicester forum!

We should just start afresh with this guy in the summer, i reckon after all his shenanigans he will be priced to sell this time, may 65MM in a player exchange deal for Mangala, Danillo or even Delph who i think would be great for Leicester. Just my idle thoughts on a Monday afternoon!

or of course we could just do a straight cash deal around 65MM for him

either way he would be a welcome addition to the squad and gives us different options!

It isn't his fault he has been priced out of a move.
The market has exploded in the last 8-9 months.
They sold Kante for £30m the same summer he signed his new contract.
No chance any advisor, no matter how good, would have thought at that time Leicester would be demanding £90m for him 18 months later and it almost being the going rate.
This is purely a result of unfortunate circumstances.
Leicester being greedy (which they were within their rights to be) and us not paying it (which we were within our rights to do).
The player then being left unable to do anything about it.

All that being said, I would have loved to have him in the squad, quality player, and want us to go back in the summer at the same value, no more.

I have nothing to back this up but my gut feel is that he won’t be signing for us. It was one of those now or never moments. Don’t think he will be staying at Leicester either.

As soon as saw who is agent was I thought, no way will City have any dealings with that snake, after our previous experience of him.

Well it seems we were willing to look past that to get him in.

The problem is it's not the going rate. Who has gone for 95m without PSG money? They've overvalued him by a third or so. He should be going for similar to PEA, Morata, Lacazette etc.
