Riyad Mahrez

[Chopper2115]

Absolutely gutted if he goes but can’t blame him with the amount of money he can potentially make. One of our most clutch players and such a wonderful player that you can’t really find in the world of football anymore.

 

[DeBlueLou]

Yeah its a conundrum, hard type to replace also, maybe City will go in another direction completely.

He’s been so important since coming in. There are no players on the market that can fill his shoes even if they are going another way

 

[Gumzy97]

Brilliant player for us, best first touch in football. When he goes I'm going to guess winger targets will start being briefed.

 

[DeBlueLou]

Adama Traore is free… beware

 

[GOULDYBOBS]

I wasn't a fan of him when he signed but he's awesome on his day and probably the best at killing a ball with a deft touch. Good luck Riyad

 

[ELPACINO57]

What a baller! Mahrez played a huge part in City success the last 4 years... Wishing him the best in his new venture.

 

[Haaland94]

As far as I know, we want 35m quid, and Al Ahli offered us 30. Thus, an agreement shouldn't be an issue.

We will not sign anyone better than Riyad. We can forget it. What we can do is sign someone hungrier and, if we are lucky, with a higher ceiling.

 

[Blue and true]

We need to be going in big for a replacement. Like for like isn't possible given his skillset but I'd expect us not to be shy and bring in a world class winger if indeed he leaves

Yes, agree. He's had his faults but overall has done a really good job for us. I wish he could stay one more season but maybe Palmer will get more chances in what is his best position.
5 seasons for roughly £30 million is very good value for us

Looking at the past, City won’t go for a world class winger, but a hungry winger.

Interested to hear which random winger that fits our system perfectly pops up as a target in the next day or so, similar to Pavard when Walker news was released.

Otavio, Williams, Adama. All cheap/free and available :s not good enough currently though

 

[TB369]

Sad to see him go, world class when he wants to be but some games seemed like he couldn't be bothered.

 

[ELPACINO57]

Irreplaceable

 

[J_MCFC21]

Both his and Gundos goal contributions will be a big loss. We have the players to step up as shown before, been a great signing if he does leave.

Yeah no way we sign someone shite like Adama. Otavio could play a temporary fix but I expect someone better. Some names that come to mind are: Coman, Gnoto, Valverde, Eze/Olise, Sane, Diaby, Gnabry, Bowen, or even Harvey Barnes.

 

[Withnail]

Mahrez has been a good signing and has certainly contributed to our success. However, I think the time is right for him to leave, we need some new blood, will be interesting to see who Pep brings in.

 

[Willtaylor]

We must go for moussa diaby if this happens

 

[WestGorton]

Mctee and Palmer. If he leaves.

No, not good enough yet
