Riyad Mahrez

[BringBackSwales]

Strong rumours? All the "rumours I have seen are at 75m including Roberts or 60m without.

Eh?

I think he's definitely gone backwards on loan up there.

 

[Barcon]

Eh?

The exact opposite of what I said mate.

 

[Barcon]

I think its the other way round, but also in euros.

; ) Another rough day for me.
I'm deleting my post as I can't even think straight.

 

[GeorgeHeslop'sTackle.]

Eh?

Hmmnm. Threatening to dump Roberts on Leicester’s doorstep if they DONT lower their asking price for Mahrez!!

Why the hell didn’t I think of that.

TXIKI’S A F***ING GENIUS!! ;-)

Are you ignoring my posts?

Not really I've been down the pub and sorry to break your illusion but your posts are not really that important in the scheme of things.

What I cant work out is he keeps going on about price. If he doesnt want him , fine , but he seems to have a mysterious cut off point where he switches from wanting him to not wanting him.

Well Einstein what value would you put on Mahrez? Come on don't be shy put your cards on the table. Surely you are not just another of the happy clappers like Karen and Oakie who think City can and should pay whatever it takes to get whoever they want. Strange that those that are so desperate to belittle the views if others when they quote values mentioned in the media and state they don't think he is worth that money are shit scared of actually putting a figure on what they think he is worth. Pretty poor stuff to be honest.

FwIW I dread the day we are thought of like United where we piss money away and buy whoever we want and come across as so fucking arrogant, just like them, where we expect to be able to buy whoever whatever the cost. It saddens and seems to me many blues are quite prepared to follow that route and attitude in the pursuit of sucess. I think many on this forum would come across like that to a visitor.

He just uses the price tag as red herring. Thing is that he doesn't rate him nor wants him in the team. As he doesn't really have any numbers or stats or facts for that matter to back-up his aversion, he's using "Leicester's greed" as final resort.

I Know I'll get hammered for this and I'll preface by saying that I'll be happy to have Mahrez.

But can you imagine having a front 3 of:

Martial Jesus Sane

For the next 10 yrs. Martial has bucket loads of talent and I think Pep could cure the problems with his workrate and application. I know it's an unpopular opinion but I think there's some people here whose opinion is tainted by who he plays for. If they are dumb enough to try and offload a player of his quality and age to buy another 30 yr old big name has been, we should be all over it. And yes, tell me I have rocks in my head and that I'm an idiot who knows nothing about football but I'd have Martial over Mahrez. Having said that, I'll hardly be disappointed if we get Mahrez.
