Some of the inflated transfer fees that are being muted for various players that are not anywhere near the same quality as Mahrez is staggering.

 

We would be crazy to let him go for less than £45-50m.

 

Some of the prices we will be/have been quoted for much lesser players are in excess of £30m.

 

Under no circumstances should we sell cheap and buy at over-inflated prices. We need to do deals (incoming and outgoing) at prices which are the right values for the players concerned.

Now van dijk is available following Liverpool pulling out . Seems a straight race between citeh and Chelsea. I don't suppose Chelsea had budgeted for this deal to go ahead so if it does, it limits their ability to make as many signings unless they are selling several big wage players to get them off the wage bill. 

 

A possible pursuit of mahrez mahrez could be a casualty of a van dijk deal 

Chelsea have Christiansen, Zouma and Ake who can play CB. Would be stupid for them to pay £60m + on van Dijk with those players already at the club.

Just saying that it seems citeh don't want to meet soton's valuation whereas Chelsea do. 

 

Imagine luiz and van dijk bringing the ball out in that back three - scary ability !!

If Barca offered 20m and Arsenal offered 40m, I reckon Riyad would throw a massive strop if we told him we're selling to Arsenal...

That would be arsenals problem

With Wenger staying I don't see too many players wanting to go to Arsenal. They are in a holding pattern for the next two years. So, no disrespect to RM but he's the best they will attract, sans some ridiculous contracts.

Stirling going for  50 million a couple of years ago set the benchmark. mahrez could play for any team in the world and week in week out , when he can be arsed, he's proved that, Stirling plays about half a season. 

A motivated mahrez is worth 75 million but no-one will pay that for him, bet if he played for Southampton, they'd get that for him. I really think the club should play hard ball and if there's no takers, we've lost nothing, besides, we could still sell him next season and what we get is mahrez trying his hardest for a deal.

That's just not an option for wenger or the club. Hence the pursuit of mbappe. They will buy a few players this window and they will spend a fair bit.

They can pursue all they want, and if it isn't any option and they need players, they will have to shell out a fortune, because as I said I don't see many players wanting to go there at the mo.

You want the best, you have to pay top dollar. Any team in the prem can afford to keep their players if they want to. Apart from if they've got some stupid buyout clause.

Maybe this season Pogba will come good?!

I think he wasn't bad this season - everyone knows they bought on potential (and for starpower)

You'd expect a bit more than potential for £90 million.

The boy want to go, don't be greedy... U got Gray.  U got him for 400k for fuchs sake! He stayed and signed a contract without a clause on faith, it would be so cheap to double cross him and block him, then for sure no other player would trust u again.

Its not greed its market rate. Premier League winner, Footballer of the Year. Its not our fault we signed him for 400k. Were not double crossing anyone if he wants to go fine but why should we take less than market rate? If he has no release clause why is that our fault? What about loyalty and honouring your contract?  Its happened to us before with Kante selling him for less than market value. The Chelsea directors sent us flowers after 1 training session at their club as a thank you. If we take less than market rate we will be regarded a soft touch by the elite clubs.

 

Why is it clubs like Chelsea can pay £50m for Torres from Liverpool but if we demand the same its regarded us being too much?

Reasonably.... Maybe 40, 45M, ain't bad for a return 

So you value him on par with our owners/club but we are greedy?

 

scooby doo is less confused than you.

Then fine, market rate, and 75M is not market rate for him, and that what I was replying to. Remember Mahrez wasn't rated highly at all in this forum + he only got one good year. So how is 75M with "playing hard ball" is market rate?!
