Riyad Mahrez

[Chi-town blues]

Same owners as Newcastle... watch this space

Lampard pathway?

McAtee off the right hand side from that training vid!

Yep

 

[OB1]

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo chance.

Mahrez has the best first touch in the world.

Riyad has the best first touch.

 

[blueinsa]

A great move for him and a good move for us as a club and team imo.

We move on.

 

[SWPISHOME]

Good move for all parties.

All the Riyad cheers for all you've done for the club winning so many trophies!

Seems like the stars have aligned for this one

Mahrez is 32 with 2 years left on his deal, £30mil is a good fee given he's also on best part of £200k a week

Still would have a big part to play if he stayed but you'd be looking at half that fee if that for a 33 year old into his final year if we hung on to him for next summer

Hes given us 5 great seasons, great return on investment

Good luck Riyad, time for the young lads to get a chance

Thanks algerian robben , your contribution is highly appreciated. Good luck .

 

[Academica]

Correct. And David Silva had the best touch of any City player I've seen in 40 years.

Never took to Mahrez, but I have never seen a better first touch.

 

[Roy Munson]

Never took to Mahrez, but I have never seen a better first touch.

One of the only players I've ever seen be able to control a drilled pass onto his 'weaker' foot and instantly shift it inside to whip across it with his 'stronger' foot. Incredible technique.

 

[Kippax77]

One of the world's best with his first touch.
I'll appreciate him like all City players for their contribution to our club.
But that turn by Phil Foden in the champions league final leaving 3 players in his wake (would of been goal of the tournament if he'd put it away) makes me drool at the prospect of younger blood coming through for us.
Got to keep freshening up for the future.

All the best Riyadh and smile forever at your medals
