I however fear Watford would demand a fee exceeding £50m, they certainly aren't push overs after our attempts of gaining Deeney

AS78UK Posted 30 January 2018 Posted 30 January 2018 This will be the hardest player from our premier league winning team to replace. Ziyech or Ben Afra for me, and even then not sure either will fill the gap.
ian_marshall Posted 30 January 2018 Posted 30 January 2018 Dembele from Celtic wouldn't be a bad option.
Mickyblueeyes Posted 30 January 2018 Posted 30 January 2018 Quincy Promes. Available, for £30 million. Adds quality. Only fear is our last signing from a Russian club was a real disapointment.

A striker to replace not only a winger but probably the best winger we've ever had? And not just ANY striker but one who can' Cement himself as Celtics first choice striker......
Blanchflower78 Posted 30 January 2018 Posted 30 January 2018 If he's sold you'd imagine the fee will at least start with '6' and Ben Arfa will come in on loan most probably. Short term option to see if he'd fit and a direct position replacement. No throwing money at anybody with an hour to spare - won't happen and rightly so.

And hi with an extra spot available in Europe there’s a lot to play for, with massive financial rewards if we can manage to qualify. Makes sense to bring some quality in. granted the new lad could well be the replacement, but we haven’t seen him against quality opposition so it’s hard to judge. Mate in which world do you live? Who do you think will come if he goes with 24 hours left? Proven match winners don't grow on trees nor they come to us. Edited 30 January 2018 by ZeGuy

irishfoxkev Posted 30 January 2018 Posted 30 January 2018 Snodgrass from Villa...just seen his 90th minute winner for Villa at Sheffield Utd...truly a Mahrezesque goal. Cut in from rigHt wing and curled a super left footer into the corner of the net...???

He can play as a number 10, and with the options we have for wingers, along with Puel's system I'm not so sure we necessarily have to buy a like for like replacement. The lad definitely has talent, has Champions League experience, and clearly has a bright future ahead. He's also at a good age to develop in line with our current crop of emerging youngsters. Furthermore, he'd be an attainable target who would cost significantly less than any fee we receive from Mahrez so would be decent value for money in today's market. Certainly not the finished article by any stretch but realistically we're not going to be able to recruit a player of Riyad's ability no matter how much we spend. 1
s11nny Posted 30 January 2018 Posted 30 January 2018 Zaha. No other player mentioned on here that tops his form. No chance rudkin would be able to pull that off though
foxes21 Posted 30 January 2018 Posted 30 January 2018 (edited) Zaha has 4 goals and 2 assists this season. That is quite frankly bang average. Albrighton has 2 goals and 6 assists and he’s basically a full back ffs. Edited 30 January 2018 by foxes21

Lovejoy Posted 30 January 2018 Posted 30 January 2018 We won't be able to replace him straight away. Riyad himself took years to reach consistent form. Patience is needed.
FLAN Posted 30 January 2018 Posted 30 January 2018 Did Puel buy Bouffal at Saints? Not making the team often I don’t think
JamesfromlondonLCFC Posted 30 January 2018 Posted 30 January 2018 Just now, F1_AN said: Did Puel buy Bouffal at Saints? Not making the team often I don’t think and that makes you want him? at that point id rather bring payet back to england xD
EnderbyFox Posted 30 January 2018 Posted 30 January 2018 Gonna be gutted if we lose Riyad with no time to find an adequate replacement, Gray is gonna have to really step up if we are aiming for Europa and a cup run.
foxes_rule1978 Posted 30 January 2018 Posted 30 January 2018 We should just snap up Ben Arfa, yes we are desperate if Mahrez goes... no chance of Europa league without an adequate replacement 1
WigstonWanderer Posted 30 January 2018 Posted 30 January 2018 Isn’t that Julian Draxler guy unsettled at PSG?
