Riyad Mahrez

Now that friendlies are over , can we hurry on and sign the bloke

 

[TRUE BLUE NO1]

France play on Saturday and Fekir is supposed to be having his medical today or tomorrow. Somehow it's always City when players are waiting for international matches to be over or some fucker is on holiday. I don't buy that bullshit.

I agree mate but bluemoon always likes to look for a positive!;)

as much as I rate mahrez I cant get my head around how similar he is to bernardo ,and if I'm honest I rate bernardo over mahrez ,maybe pep is going to move bernardo into the middle or mahrez as a false 9,or sterling more into the middle, eureka ! he will give us many options and if I don't know how we are going to line nobody else will, he's a genius that pep.

the workings of an addled mind :)

I remember we allowed for Alves to go on leave for his marriage , naively confident on his word . As he is a grade A twat he shafted us and signed for PSG - which did turn out well tbf with us getting the decent Danilo.

Only thing I can think of justifying the delay was France wanted it sorted quickly as did fekir apparently. Maybe jorginho as there is no world cup for him , knows there is a bit of time for a holiday.

Plus hopefully he isn't a twat like Alves

With mahrez being classed as African and the whole Yaya shit storm it would be a great time to announce this deal

We have no idea if the club were naive with respect to Alves. Doubt he was stood there with a pen ready to sign and we said to him "oh don't bother signing anything til you're back off your hols." If he said he was going to sign on his return, I don't see that we had much choice other than to accept that and hope for the best. We couldn't force him to do it any more quickly. We clearly had a plan B lined up in the form of Danilo if it didn't work out so I'm not sure I take fair to say we were naive. Alves' change of heart clearly came as a shock but what should we have done differently?

Stop flapping. Lyon have just denied any agreement with Liverpool - they’re in the same position as us. Difference is we don’t try and force it via medi leaks.

Come on folk this is a multi million pound deal and not only is Mahrez coming to us but they are probably doing the other multi million pound deal for Roberts going the other way and even though the two are separate they will be linked. Sit on your hands and whistle Dixie till the end of next week and stop flapping. :-)

A few on here have said this is already done mate(even got a shirt number)...only delay is the international friendlies. You think we still got work to do before this deal is sorted?

"Done" is BM language for "The player wants to come, we've got a good chance". I really doubt the deal is actually done.

It's quite rare that clubs will happily wait a week between agreeing a deal and announcing it and yet, if you believe what you read on here, City do it with every single signing.

Maybe Pep's found out he's African.
