Riyad Mahrez

We don't have a team we have a squad,get your heads around it

Will be a great signing .

Naturally talented and has a great combination of pace and skill.

My one concern over him has always been that he comes across as a bit lazy but not worried about that under Pep.

It's not just enough to answer the question like that, this is the transfer forum, we need exhaustive lists of statistics and player comparisons.

Haha. There are lies, damn lies and statistics. Good or great is very subjective. What can be said and has already, is that in Leicesters team, surrounded by very average PL players he excelled. So surrounding him by much higher quality players, with probably the worlds best football training and sports science facilities, plus the worlds best manager should make him world class. Probably turn out to be shite after saying all that :-)

All done.

He will take No.26.

Welcome Riyad :)

Next.

Was the negotiations straight forward or did his agent want the moon and the stars?

I'm not being anything,i asked you to back up your statement,not my fault you can't answer it

jeez...how many times do i have to say it...it came across/was typed out wrongly.....do you actually read anything...?

what is your actual point? do you think Mahrez is a good signing or not......are you worried that he will reduce the game time of other players? Do you think we are over paying?

I think Mahrez is a great signing, one that is as good as the players we have in the positions he will play....he has some attributes that sterling and Sane don't have in my opinion which is he is a better finisher and goal scorer. He will score chances that certainly Sterling at present doesn't take and maybe even Sane as he at times isn't decisive enough (though he will be better in the long run in my opinion....sterling i don't think every will be...what has helped sterling is his huge improvement in positional play but thats why he should never be the central striker. As a wide player coming into the 6 yd box he is brilliant...but finishing isn't natural for him...
Mahrez is better shooting from distance and better at finishing cutting in from the edge of the area....Will he learn what sterling has from Pep (does he need to?) Mahrez is considered by many one of the most lethal players one on one with a defender in the premiership....sterlign and sane are both very good but Marhez is considered by some better and again from what i have seen at present i would agree with that as well.

Finally (again) i believe Sane will in the end become an actual world beater if he continues his progression and reaches his potential. (He reminds me of fake ronaldo an awful lot without the aerial prowess - well not that we have seen so far)

Im backing up my statement with my opinions based on watching the players

excellent...thanks for the info...

To be fair I’m slightly worried about mahrez,can’t knock him he’s a top player but just have that niggle when things aren’t going to well he can go missing also showed a lack of tracking back at Leicester in games,maybe I’m being to negative,wonder if after Jorginho will there be any other signings,if a situation presents itself..

Don't agree on either count but I think it's safe to say with the ability in our squad anyone going missing or not working will have a great view of the match from their seat in the dugout.

After those two we'll have to sell to make room for anyone else so a significant upgrade would have to become available at a favourable price. Personally I think Txiki and his staff will be getting their work done early on future targets after those two.

Lot of money to be paying for a rotation player.

Yes but if you go back a few years we had a good 11 but as soon as we rotated the quality dropped off big time. As many have said we don’t have an 11 anymore but a really talented squad that we can rotate and pretty much maintain the same quality. What’s not to like : )

We don't have a team we have a squad,get your heads around it

In fact, we have a hierarchy of players - those who will play most games if fit unless needing rotation and lesser-talented/performing players who will fill in where appropriate. Some players move up and down the ladder, starting more or less often due to performances/injuries.

For the money we're paying (even adjusted for the post-Neymar transfer fee inflation), Mahrez would initially land high up in the hierarchy of potential starters. Should we sign him, he'll need to prove his mettle.

Great signing,no worries,you said he is the better goal scorer,how many did they all score last season or his title winning one if you like? jeez indeed lol,he is several years more experienced so might well have scored more,i honestly don't know
