Riyad Mahrez

[Mark Tobias]

Carried a much worse team than us to the title. Something Sanchez for all his brilliance has never come close to.

One of the best wide men in football.

Rubbish. Kante was the unsung hero for LCFC that season. And was rightly given plaudits last season. While Vardy and Mahrez were phenomenal, they did it for one season. Kante has been consistent while the rest of the players with medals from the LCFC season have dropped off the map!

 

[hydrofluoric acid]

Loser of highest order. Classic bottler mentality.

 

[HairSprayGooners]

If Mahrez were to replace Alexis I wouldn't be happy. If we signed Mbappe, Mahrez and a creative midfielder + sold Alexis I'd be content.

 

[yybecause]

Dont want him (yet) but he is class. People are way to negative on him

 

[HairSprayGooners]

Think we'd be stupid not to buy him regardless of Alexis' situation. Very easy deal to do this summer.

Mahrez was brilliant, but a purple patch from Vardy and the ridiculousness that is N'Golo Kante were every bit as important, if not more so

IMO Kanté wouldn't have been so good if he's stayed at Leicester. Their whole team was so bad last season.
It's hard to blame Mahrez or Vardy.

Even Hazard & Costa had a terrible season 2 years ago. When your team doesn't want to play for the coach anymore it's hard to judge them.

I am fine with Mahrez. I think he bottled last season but he is a class player. Hopefully, he will be coming in complement of Alexis and Özil, not to replace any of them.

Would take him if we don't get either Lemar or James.

 

[4R5Emaniac]

We need a lefty with some magic and dribbling.

Shades of RiP in Mahrez

I agree it makes it hard to judge. Still I'm of the opinion Kante was the key to the way in which they played for the title at LCFC and was then deployed quite wisely by Conte this last season.

I don't think Mahrez will do well here in place of anyone. Alongside what we already have is a different story. Perhaps that's the case with all three of those players

Now this statement I'm fine with.

 

[say yes]

Yeah that's just not how it works.

A lot of people who probably didn't even rate Kante last season now acting like he was a one-man band, just because Leicester have dropped off.

Mahrez was absolutely phenomenal for Leicester during their title challenge, and deservedly won player of the year. He is clearly a brilliant player.

You just know that if Mahrez had joined Chelsea and won the league (with Kante staying at Leicester), exactly the same people would be making exactly the same arguments as to why we shouldn't sign Kante.

Some people just can't accept that there are good players at weaker clubs

 

[say yes]

"Bottled" is such a misused word by the way.

Failing to carry a relegation side to a second consecutive league title isn't bottling ffs.

 

[Aevi]

Lemar or Mahrez?

I prefer Lemar.

 

[juice man]

Mahrez is a really good player but not what we need.

 

[GDeep™]

We're not even linked with him ffs.

 

[Aevi]

We're not even linked with him ffs.

It's understood that he's our backup buy after the French lads.

Sanchez replacement incoming
