Riyad Mahrez

A land grab before FFP 2?

Spot on. Trying to get him and Fred before the summer madness starts and FFP2.

Would love to see Mahrez as City, but with us having a game tomorrow night surely this has been left too late ?

I wouldn't have thought having a game tomorrow would impact on whether we sign him or not.

Doesn't stink of $$$$ all and we could have easily waited till the summer for Laporte.

not with vinny never fit and mangaler not up to it

Not that enamoured with Mahrez tbh, wouldn't be too arsed if this didn't go through. The guys got ability, but I don't think he's that consistently exceptional considering his age now. If he was as good as he is and only 22/23, I could see it but he's getting on 27 now and surely at his peak, I'd rather go for a younger player in the summer.

I'll be very surprised if we actually made a bid for Mahrez let alone sign him!!. Peps own words in his press conference earlier saying he's 95% sure of no more incomings.

95% mmm so he's basically saying there's a chance something can happen.

5% is a perfectly reasonable guess as to how likely this is to happen so late.

But that can change if the player really makes his feelings clear.

Mahrez is a great player, there’s no doubt about that, but, as I have said in the past, I would rather save the money and play Diaz when needed.

Diaz has huge potential, could do a job now, and will need to be given game time to avoid a (less petulant, mind) Sancho-esque situation. He can fill in over the next few matches and then split time with Jesus when he returns until Sane recovers fully.
