Riyad Mahrez

[balotelli's back pocket]

Sane out for 6-7 weeks. I thought this might’ve been Bernardo’s time to shine. Can’t help but wonder what this means for him, Foden and Diaz if it happens.

Well none of those 3 are wingers. Mahrez is

 

[Yates]

He is the best 1v1 player in the premier league without a doubt and it's a joke to even debate it

Against teams with an embarrassingly low block where we are camped on their 18 yard box at times, his ability to get close and stepover his was through 2 men at a time is ridiculous
It makes sense tactically for that reason alone

Even away in the cup tie especially he had us on strings at one phase in the game
Honestly it would make up for missing out on Sanchez. This guy has balls and dragged that shite leicester side to a title and single handedly took the piss out of city when they won 3-1.

Yep and he would look great in this City side

Any genuine journalists/ItKS to confirm these links?

 

[Bewar3them00n]

Would be a great signing, but I can't see Leicester rolling the red carpet for his departure this late in the window, with no one to fill the hole.
But who knows, we've seen all kind of last minute deals done over the years...

Foden is a central midfielder, so not sure what that's got to do with anything.

This stinks of Bony 2.0

Quick, someone mention Rodney Marsh

Could mean Bernardo getting more time centrally if Mahrez were to play on the RW.

 

[Healdplace]

The extent of the Sane injury - called by twosips yesterday when even Sane was being more positive and other alleged itks said it was 2 weeks - tells you all you need to know both about why we are accelerating moves for someone like Mahrez or Zaha.

But more importantly that you should all see how twosips is 100% genuine.

He said yesterday he did not know the name of the player we are after. And Pep is right to be pessimistic as signing any good player this late when the team they leave will not get a replacement is very very hard.

 

[PannickAtTheDisco]

wouldn't be the worst option, Pep could bring some consistency and more application to his game, and he would have a resale value in 12-18 months. Also allows Bernardo to spend more time inside hopefully.

 

[Esteban de la Sexface]

can play in champions league too.
