Riyad Mahrez

He's 26, 27 next month

Why's he gone mad? 60m for Mahrez in today's market is good business.

not on a whim,lets panic and break our club record fee in 24hr,these deals are a long time in the making

Well it looks like we've gone in high. I doubt that Leicester will accept, unless they have a prior agreement with the player (and even then there would likely be many conditions attached). Leicester will be wanting stupid money (probably double what we've reportedly offered) to pry him away this late.

My favorite non-City player to watch in the league. No idea about his pressing or attitude towards it, but his on the ball ability and decision making will fit right in with our attackers. He, offensively, is one of the top players in the world we could get. I assume Pep and the scouts have some idea about his willingness to press and work hard out of possession. I'll trust them.

Also, for those saying this is a panic buy, we need another attacker. Sanchez wasn't a panic buy, why would Mahrez be?

Something is going on

just a hunch or have you heard something???

Very late in the window...

Sam's article makes it sound like we might sign a marquee forward next summer. Even if we get Mahrez now. Which doesn't make sense unless Aguero leaves.

No way can we keep 6 top class forwards happy.

Mahrez is a winger

 

[aguero93:20]

Nope.

 

[Armaan]

Just can’t see it.

People here really think we should go for it at 60 million? That's a crazy amount
