[TonyM]

Imagine signing someone as good as this?

The fans of Al-Ahli ask their President to sign Mahrez :)

Is this move on? Some media are making it out he has agreed a deal with them, and it's down to us whether we let him go. They would have to pay up, though, big time.

40m is about the right fee

Nothing serious as far as I know. But he seems to be exceptionally wanted by the fans.

Not surprised at them wanting him fabulous player .

 

[Franny 1234]

Can't blame him if his head is turned by the crazy amount of money on offer.
Definitely would be missed.
Keep the faith CTID

Screw that. If the Saudi’s want him, they should pay us extra like we have to pay extra for all the English players. 50% higher rate so at least 60 mil

 

[Gaz (FMwkdsoul)]

Let him go if he wants, grab Kamada on a free.

I thought 40m was the personal terms agreed between Mahrez and the Saudis for his contract, not the amount being paid to City.

“He is always grumpy with me when he doesn’t play all the time, he makes me notice how grumpy he feels,” the Spaniard said.

“Today no. He is an exceptional player, a big stage player and has the mentality to score the goal. The composure for the penalty was important to go in after the first half at 1-0 and the second and third goal was brilliant.

“I am so satisfied with Riyad, he has given many, many things in these years and more in the future hopefully.

“We have known each other for many years, I know I have lost the battle to make him understand how important the group is. It is important when he plays at that level and when he does everything is fine.”

Always thought that was a fascinating comment.

The quotation from the MEN is different. According to MEN (22 APR 2023), Guardiola said: "I know I lost the battle to make him understand how important he is to the group." ... which has a whole different meaning.

If we are replacing Mahrez anyone but Mbappe, Felix or Neymar.

You've literally just named the three best candidates to replace Mahrez.

Not by a long chalk. PSG would gladly drive Neymar to Charles de Gaulle airport with a one way ticket out of Paris, again that speaks volumes. Mbappe is ridiculosly expensive for what he currently (although the other important bit is that he isn't interested in a move to City) and Felix is coming off the back of an unremarkable loan spell. Other than that fantastic suggestions.

Fair enough, let's try it another way. Name three better candidates than the ones you listed to replace Mahrez.

 

[Otamendi's Beard]

Didn't realise I even started this thread but happy to have been vindicated.

Plenty of the usual jokers in the 1st ten pages who clearly knew better than Pep. ;-)

I don’t think Felix is all that myself,however he didn’t get a run under Lampard for some reason,as what I had seen previous he looked like their most dangerous player,mind you gauging Lampard on that score doesn’t count as he’s fucking no idea as a coach,but there is hope yet for Felix I believe
