Hopefully that is to clean Riyads boots as that is all he would be fit for compared to Riyad. If Riyad was to leave to go to Barca that would make it slightly more acceptable - still be absolutely gutted but watching him for one of the top club sides in the world not so bad!

So Barcelona would have Messi who will play almost every game & Both Riyad and Delafaueo as replacements? No chance. Barca won't be signing Mahrez.

Their big 3 played a lot of games last year.

Not a chance they are going to pay £35m + for a player who's going to play a handful of games consdering they've already bought a player who plays RW for £10m. Messi pretty much runs barca, he will play whenever he's fit.

Dan Posted 2 July 2017 Posted 2 July 2017 Ndidi has probably got more all-round to his game, but Kante is an absolute freak midfielder. Best tackler on the planet and turns defence into attack like nobody.
RODNEY FERNIO Posted 2 July 2017 Posted 2 July 2017 Arsenal being linked with a 125 million bid for the Monaco wonder kid on top of the Lacazette money. Not sure they are going to be paying 50 million for Riyad if they have just spunked this amount of dosh. Just paper talk though ... probably Arsenal have made a 12.5 million bid for him knowing Wenger.

It's just for the board to show the fans their intent. (Which is vacuous). Arsene will be livid that he has had to pay 50m for lacazette.
RODNEY FERNIO Posted 2 July 2017 Posted 2 July 2017 Yes ... if Real Madrid have expressed a strong interest in Mbappe not sure why he would choose Arsenal over them. But you never know ... Wenger has strong links to the French market.
dmayne7 Posted 2 July 2017 Posted 2 July 2017 Amazes me Monaco would turn down anything like the figures mooted. What if he gets crocked? He struggles next year? His value will completely plummet. I'd be snapping team's hands off for some of the figures quoted.

More than £125m? Scoring goals in the French League. Doubt it. Even with the inflated prices. As a buying club, there are plenty of extremely talented kids at a fraction of that price who have proven they can do it? Mbappe is clearly a talent but economically, the risk outweighs the reward

Have to continually be resigned to being a 'selling' club as their gate income can never come close to covering even a decent fraction of their outgoings ! They must sail very close to the wind in FFP terms! Exactly, which is why I don't understand how they can turn their noses up at the figures being quoted. Mind you, maybe they're waiting until next year to spread it in terms of FFP?

RODNEY FERNIO Posted 2 July 2017 Posted 2 July 2017 Arsenal mania says some bloke has concrete evidence that the transfer to Arsenal will be confirmed this week. One punter saying he won't cost much, won't mind being on the bench and will not ask for much in wages . Where do they get this bollocks from ?
lcfcsnow Posted 2 July 2017 Posted 2 July 2017 Don't know if they are reliable or the Italian version of HITC
norwichfox Posted 2 July 2017 Posted 2 July 2017 Translation of link, lover the "ripped off" statement: CALZOMERCATO ARSENAL MAHREZ / Riyad Mahrez is a new Arsenal player. According to Calciomercato.it editions, Arsene Wenger has ripped off Leicester's ok and Franco-Algerian fan-maker, among the protagonists of the Premier's historic victory in 2016. The transfer will soon be announced.

st albans fox Posted 2 July 2017 Posted 2 July 2017 This is gaining some traction today - looks to be in response to the Italian transfer site plus a journo tweet. Both suggesting the deal will be done this week.
Buce Posted 2 July 2017 Posted 2 July 2017 So what happened to wanting Champions' League football every year? Just another snake.
