Riyad Mahrez

Can't wrap my head around so many fans wanting to sell a player who's averaged a G/A every 110 minutes over five campaigns. Some of you seem to have completely taken for granted his composure and clinical finishing in/around the box. Not to mention the FIFTY-NINE assists to go along with the goals... Well respected and liked in the dressing room on top of it all. I can promise you he's better than 99% of the potential replacements and that 1% of players would cost a fortune.

I think the biggest hit on this one will be to the locker room. Everyone seems to love him but to be able to cash in on him at his age would be nice.

It's not so much wanting to sell him as recognising that this is the best time to do so, for all parties. We've got the best out of him, and Pep has alluded to his unhappiness at not starting enough. He can go and get silly money for a few years and we'll get the best fee possible for a player of his age.

Unless we go out and buy a world class winger, it'll weaken us next season for sure. But I'd hope the club will take the long term view.

"We've got the best out of him"

How do we know that? He had 15 G/A last season in 30 apps. Have we got the best out of Phil as well because he lost his place last season too?
 


We still don't know if Riyad would accept the offer, but at least potentially there is some movement to resolve this situation one way or another.
