Riyad Mahrez

Think it will be difficult to get this over the line in the short time remaining if the two clubs are indeed as far apart in their valuations as has been reported. Going to be an interesting day either way.

£90m. Thats almost the funniest thing ive read all window

given VVD went for 75 it isn't a huge surprise..

the selling club always has all the cards these days

Are we covertly undermining teams in the PL? Flirting with the best players, getting them to want to move and then putting a ceiling on our bids that won’t be accepted?

Obviously not but if I’ve thought of it I won’t be surprised to see custis tweet it tomorrow!

As for Mahrez, fantastic player in a mediocre team. As soon as he hit Leicester I wondered how we’d managed to let him slip by.

Pace, skill and vision. Need to work on his effort without the ball but imagine him, Dav, kdb, Raz, Leroy on the same pitch feeding Sergio or Gabi!

What's the highest sum City could pay for Mahrez in this situation, what do you think? Imagine you're Txiki. Take into account that we're having a real chance to win 2-4 trophies, so the fix is needed immediately.

I agree mate and I love the fact they have seen a need and doing their best to fill that need, it just feels like a last minute move again. We went in hard for Sanchez on the last day of the summer window but the deal didnt happen as Arsenal had no time to find a replacement and this feels like this will go the same way. Another attacker has always been the plan, so Sane's injury isnt the reason for this move. Genuine question as I trying to get my head round it....If our long term plan was always to get another forward/attacking player why wait until the last day to try and get a deal done?

Handed in a transfer request so surely we can get this done now.

When did that happen ;)

Chuck in Mangala and sack off the Iheanacho sell-on clause to sweeten the deal.

Happy Mahrez Day or is it?

By when do we have to strike a deal with Leicester to be able to get done with the paperwork in time?

Mate of mine text me last night,dunno how he'd know but said he got told that City had offered to knock the "buy back" clause on the head.
Maybe he meant sell on clause?
