That's an interesting point actually. I guess there has been a fair amount of planning for having a team without Mahrez. For instance, I can envisage a midfield of Ndidi, Drinkwater and Iborra, with Slimani/Iheanacho and Vardy up front, meaning wing backs in the shape of Albrighton/Gray/Chilwell/Fuchs. I just don't see where Mahrez fits. If he stays then we perhaps revert to plan B? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted 18 July 2017 Share Posted 18 July 2017 According to Shakey there has still been NO BIDS of mahrez.

Fox 4 Life Posted 18 July 2017 Share Posted 18 July 2017 Brit Assombalonga goes to Boro for 15m and Roma think 20m is an acceptable amount for Mahrez. Go home Roma your drunk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoxonMaui Posted 18 July 2017 Share Posted 18 July 2017 Just cannot see this Roma deal happening. With the Arse looking to go all in on Lamar we may very likely still have Riyad this season. Hard to see anyone in the top six taking him right now unless Conte wants him on the bench? Nteresting times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vestan Pance Posted 18 July 2017 Share Posted 18 July 2017 Can't imagine it's much fun at Roma playing in front of 40,000 empty seats every week. At least the new place will be more a reasonable size, if it ever gets built. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RODNEY FERNIO Posted 18 July 2017 Share Posted 18 July 2017 Is he really bettering himself by going to Roma or Arsenal for that matter ? If the likes of Bayern , Barca or the two Madrid were interested I could understand. Suppose Roma have an outside chance of their title but can you honestly see them getting any further in the champions league than we did ? Arsenal last won the title 13 years ago , are not in the champions league anyway and are normally humiliated when they are in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxy boxing Posted 18 July 2017 Share Posted 18 July 2017 Shakespeare has said no bids have come in for him, i get the feeling that teams are just not sure about him for the price they would most likely pay for him! he's a niche sort of player that on his day is a world beater but can also disappear in games., he probably feels in Italy he would get a hell of a lot more time and space on the ball than he would here so may thrive more over there and then maybe a bigger club would come in for him after a year or two in Italy! if Mahrez was British we'd be expecting over 40 million for him but because he's foreign clubs think they can get him on the cheap!

SkidsFox Posted 18 July 2017 Share Posted 18 July 2017 Still get the feeling that he'll end up going to Arsenal. Wenger will baulk at paying £80m for Lemar or MBappe, and will then see Mahrez as a bargain at £30 mill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get that we are all a bit biased, but they can both offer regular CL football and opportunities to win trophies. It's a no-brainer. Whether he would settle for a Roma / Arsenal, or hold out for something more prestigious is a whole different question however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go home Roma your drunk Assombalonga must be the luckiest man alive. A few years ago, he'd have left Forest to probably go to somewhere like Wolves for 750 k. Now, in this mad mad world that is football, he's commanded a fee of 15 million quid! He ain't a bad player but he's made for bloody life with one transfer AFTER hes been injured nearly all last season. Lucky lucky bar steward.

Molson Canadian Posted 18 July 2017 Share Posted 18 July 2017 https://realsport101.com/news/sports/football/barcelona-five-replacements-neymar-leaves-camp-nou/ 2 Riyad Mahrez Club: Leicester City Fee: £40 million Perhaps not quite as big a name as some of the other members on this list, but there is no doubt that Riyad Mahrez has wonderful ability. He was the PFA Player of the Year in Leicester's extraordinary 2015/16 Premier League winning campaign, scoring 17 goals and 11 assists. With teammates like Messi and Andres Iniesta, that number would only increase. However, with Neymar predominantly featuring on the left and cutting in from that side, he contrasts Mahrez in the sense that the Algerian operates best cutting in from the right, so perhaps wouldn't be considered as a like for like replacement for Barcelona and may force the Catalan club to have a change in tactics.
