Riyad Mahrez

[field442]

I'm thinking 50-60 after bidding war, because more than one team are in for him.

Nobody is paying that for him after the season he just had.

One would hope that's true, nobody should be rewarded for downing tools.

Nah not gonna happen if he has clause maybe who will offer him better wages will win his service.

 

[Ewarwoowar]

Alright guys, I admit, poorly thought out, you were right and I am wrongops:

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

 

[ClubLevel]

Sell Walcott for £20m plus and the deadwood like Jenkinson, Campbell, Sanago, Chambers and bring the guy in. Them five alone will nearly pay for him.

 

[OSBK]

This deal happens for me if Özil goes.

 

[Tosker]

the obvious problems between a lot of the Leicester team and Ranieri may have had something to do with that though

 

[say yes]

This deal happens for me if Özil goes.

I can't see us signing anyone better than Mahrez as a Sanchez/Özil replacement.

If both Sanchez and Özil sign on, and if we stick with the 3421, then you could argue we don't need Mahrez.

Those are both big 'ifs' though.

Mahrez has to get back to elite level to replace Özil.

You are right if Özil stays them mahrez is on our bench.

 

[Penn_]

Perfect example as to why Monaco rejecting 100M bids for Mbappe looks like BS.

If Mahrez had made that statement last year you'd have clubs coming in instantly.

 

[Rex Stone]

Should've left when he had the chance but his advisors probably pushed him to sign a deal and get their cut meaning he's in a much more difficult position to force his way out.

Couple that with an expected sophomore slump and he's not going to be linked with the likes of Barca or even us anymore.

And if any of them gets injured or is out of form we'll be back to Walcott mate.. Also signing Mahrez will allow us to switch to 4231 & 433 with him as RW easily.. one of our biggest problems this season before switching to 343 was that we could only attack from the left, the center was dead since we lost cazorla & with Walcott on the right, we just lost the ball or played it backwards whenever we played on that flank..

I'd love Mahrez here, we will live to regret it if we don't sign him.

Not if there is a release clause.

 

[bingobob]

No release clause.

What I think you need to consider is Mahrez scored two less league goals than Özil. Mahrez was playing for a team battling relegation and also playing outwide. Signing for us you'd imagine he will shift in field to the centre for a team gunning for the league. I'd expect double figures from him in the league.

 

[every little thing]

Mahrez for 35m is a steal...i dont expect we can sign a top striker...so plan b should be signing a top right winger

Do you think we have a chance of signing Willian?

That's right and out of the 11 season he has played as a pro, he's been at that level for exactly one season.

If no release clause that mean Leicester will ask for 40M+ pounds I don't think they'll as for 50-60M because the player want to leave.

He was taking penalties...
