Riyad Mahrez

I'd argue that Mahrez has shown on a few occasions his mentality could be better, not sure the younger players, with points to prove, would be much different.

No doubting, Mahrez is going to be very difficult to replace and I think we under rate him at times, but we do need to freshen up. Why not from within?
Mahrez most certainly has his own issues and deficiencies but he’s also a master of keeping possession high up the pitch, creating space and chances galore and knowing how to fit our highly complicated patterns of play.
One more season would be what I’d like to get from him.
 
We already had him for three years and let him go, although the headlines a belter "champs olise"
Waiting for someone to push the suggestion of Leroy Lita! I swear some fans must think we are being managed by Stuart Pearce! Hah
 
What good is 30m to us though? It'll take three times that amount to replace what Mahrez brings.

Consistently in the top 2 or 3 for goals and assists every season and is perfectly suited to our current system.

He may be 32 but his game relies on technique not pace so he could easily have 3 years left in him at this level.

I think we'd be better off keeping him to be honest.


Yep he's never really needed or relied on pace it's all about technique, when you're as skillful as Mahrez pace never matters too much.

As long as he stays fit hungry and wants to carry on, then similar to Ribery (who left Bayern at 36) he should age like a fine wine, he'll still be embarrassing fullbacks until he's ready to retire.
