Many strong rumours that Leicester want 75m plus Roberts that City value at 15m. That equates to 90m.
I ask again what do you think he is worth?
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.
This hasn't been talked about much, but Mahrez's vision and his understanding of timing is pretty poor.
He often covers this with skillful play. But the number of times he fails to see a play developing is pretty disappointing.
Hopefully Pep can improve this part of his game. And perhaps better talent around him would help.
But watch any of his dribbling videos and time and time again he is busy dribbling 'head down' and misses key opportunities.
The players will let him know, pretty quickly.
I think Pep might encourage him to be a bit greedy around the oppo box, as Messi has always been, to some extent. As we overplay the sideways passing at times when we should be giving them more problems.
But if he overdoes it, generally, the team will sort him out before Pep does. Then it will be Pep's job to explain why nobody passes to him & therefore he can't get in the team.
I think he'll 'get it' pre season & be ready
Both very good players imo, just one is being poorly managed atmMartial over Mahrez? No.
I wouldn’t be giving them any extra money to rebuild their team.I dont think you have rocks in your head, I too would prefer Martial. I like Mahrez as a player but Im not keen on him as a person/professional.
I think he could chuck his toys out if he didnt get the reqd game time.
I could never see the likes of David Silva or KDB disappearing and going on strike cos he couldnt get his own way. (like Mahrez did)
The only way to test Utd is to make a bid, if they say no, then move on but the lad has said he's not happy at the swamp.
In a way this is the problem with Raheem where he has dove tailed into City but without a team of similar players around him for England he tries to do it all ie creating and scoring.The players will let him know, pretty quickly.

Give them enough and they’ll get it right eventually, but not with our help!They dont know how to rebuild their team :)
