Ric Flair Posted 29 August 2017 Posted 29 August 2017 Make no mistake, someone will come in for him but whether it's a serious bid or not is open to debate. I think 2-3 PL clubs will panic tomorrow or Thursday and come in with £45-50 million bids. The harrowing thing is Townsend appears to be the replacement lined up rather than someone like Thorgan Hazard. Still hope he somehow stays but it's not going to be an easy last few days, a lot of big clubs are starting to panic.
Nick Posted 29 August 2017 Posted 29 August 2017 I think he'll go to Arsenal on a £48 million pound last day Wenger panic buy and I think it'll harm / hamper his career in all honesty. He's too lightweight for Arsenal - the Ox owned him when we played them the other week and he barely gets in that side week in week out in recent seasons. Arsenal fans will not put up with his work ethic and head down lack of awareness when he gets frustrated, followed by appealing for a foul every time he loses the ball. Still, he'll get a 5 year deal on 130K a week and within a year he'll be a sulking mess. The new Premiership seems to be full of strong fast young players a la Liverpool and Man Utd - If Mahrez wants his career to continue to blossom he should go abroad. Oh and on an aside I can see both Spurs and Arsenal this season being outside the top four!
Simi Posted 29 August 2017 Posted 29 August 2017 Man City offering cash + Sterling for Sanchez. Possible good news for us.
Gerard Posted 29 August 2017 Posted 29 August 2017 At this stage I'll think we'll want the full £50m we've asked for. It'll be a case of pay it or don't but that's the price.
Loves2spooge Posted 29 August 2017 Posted 29 August 2017 Unless the said club willing to sign him will be moving to Algeria to do so , I don't think Riyad will be allowed to leave the training ground before september 6th

The club involved can afford a ticket to Algeria.
ZeGuy Posted 29 August 2017 Posted 29 August 2017 If he wants to definitely ruin his career, he can go to Arsenal. Right now that would be the worst possible choice. Team of spineless divas which is not far from imploding and Wenger has lost the plot.

Wow, they've actually cited Tribal Football as their source... that is some very poor journalism. Then again I'm not sure what I was expecting...
mozartfox Posted 29 August 2017 Posted 29 August 2017 We are becoming to Chelsea what Soton are to Liverpool. The big differences are they sell for top dollar and have a competent recruitment/scouting set up to replace the outbound talent ( not to mention a very good academy set-up)
st albans fox Posted 29 August 2017 Posted 29 August 2017 Chelsea eh? more credible than other rumours and 43m would fit my prediction months ago Will we sell so late though ??

Nick Posted 29 August 2017 Posted 29 August 2017 Doubt Mahrez will go to Chelsea unless the Ox goes to Liverpool which he'd be mad to do with the likes of Salah and Mane knocking about - his job will be to fart on the bench to warm it for them until the 88th minute.
CosbehFox Posted 29 August 2017 Posted 29 August 2017 Roma won't make a late bid; about to sign Schick from Sampdoria

MrSpaM Posted 29 August 2017 Posted 29 August 2017 There are seriously people on the Chelsea forums that think he'd be handy as a wing back They also seem to think he'd be happy to go there and sit on the bench 'Too good for Leicester' but not good enough to start, you have to wonder what the point is really

For me now I wouldn't accept 70m. The market has gone nuts. We couldn't replace Mahrez in time so the price needs to be ridiculous.
Gerard Posted 29 August 2017 Posted 29 August 2017 Just now, AKCJ said: For me now I wouldn't accept 70m. The market has gone nuts. We couldn't replace Mahrez in time so the price needs to be ridiculous. I would agree but we've possibly agreed with Mahrez that we will sell him for £50m. If we did sell Mahrez for £50m and bought Townsend for £28m a few hours later that's awful business.
Finn Claw II Posted 29 August 2017 Posted 29 August 2017 £100m for Drinkwater and Mahrez? Given Lemar is now a £75m player, that is looking good value. The maket this season is pretty nuts.
SkidsFox Posted 29 August 2017 Posted 29 August 2017 Given we might have wobbled and sold him to Roma for £36 million, at least we'll get decent money from Chelsea. No chance we can put in a cheeky bid for Willian?

The_77 Posted 29 August 2017 Posted 29 August 2017 It's 2017, we panic over stories posted on Tribal Football now.
