Poll: What is Riyad Mahrez worth?

[coalvillefox]

I have read so much over the last two days about what we should accept and what we shouldn't. Some pundits say we should be happy with 60m, some fans think hes worth 75m, some even think 90m plus, what do you think?

Whatever Vichai said, 90-95 m.

[Tuna]

More than Van Dijk.

[breadandcheese]

Depends.

 

Are we valuing him with 48 hours to go to the end of the January window, without time to sign a replacement, when we're pushing for a European place?

 

Or are we valuing him in the Summer when the season is over?

[Koke]

£70-80m.

[urban.spaceman]

I'll happily accept £70-80m in the summer.

[foxoffderby]

The Courtinho and VVD deals set the benchmark 90m for me 

[ZeGuy]

Ha. 

 

80-100M for some, but still not good enough to get into ManCity's starting XI, huh?

[ZeGuy]

I rate him at 65-75M so I can't vote.

[AlloverthefloorYesNdidi]

Went at 80-90

 

But this is all so arbitrary these days. Close your eyes and pick one

[Nalis]

All it takes is a Hazard or Kane to Real for 300m or something ridiculous to screw the market over in the next window.

[yorkie1999]

He's worth as much as someone is willing to pay for him, which, today, is jack shit.

[winteriscoming]

Went for 70-80m. When you put it into context with vvd and coutinho. Whether it's true or not ssn said man City offered 60/65m and our valuation was that they we're 15m short so we wanted 75/80m. I do wonder if man City will be back for him in the summer, just my opinion but I think theyll look elsewhere.

No, just no. That's one of the most infuriating phrases I've kept reading in the last few days.

No, no we wanted +90M. which was a polite way to tell them to fck off. I think we'll let him go for 70M this summer.

No, thats what the bids will be worth. He's under contract here, his value is set by his employers not his suitors

[lgfualol]

Between 65-80 right now. Can imagine him going for 55-60 in the Summer.

[AKCJ]

I'd say 70-80m.

 

Last night it would have taken more IMO.

 

So frustrating to see so many people saying how he's not worth that and that we should let him go to a top club. Hang on a minute. If he's supposedly too good for us then why are we not within our right to expect "top" money for him?

 

Not many footballers could get 8 goals and 8 assists from 24 games at this level at a side like ours. He's verging on world class and, I'm sorry, but he's not worth 80m less than Coutinho.

 

If Coutinho costs £140m then we should absolutely expect at least 80 for Riyad. Even at that price, when you look at the respective stats, Mahrez is a bargain.

Which is allegedly 90 million, a figure that no-one will pay, so he'll be here for another 2 1/2 years and will walk away on a free.  

[fazzyfox]

I'll stick by my 82.5 Million, if he were two or three years younger then 90-95 million. 

[red5]

Fcuk all if he don't play.

[Ted Maul]

Went for £80-90m, but I would probably accept £70m at the start of the summer window- not on the last day.

 

That would give us enough time & money to find a replacement, plus a quality number 10.

[Fox92]

It's all relative isn't it. 

 

It's no good comparing him to another player because it's about what he's worth to us. And, in my opinion, that's somewhere between £70m - £80m.

[LestaAl]

-

His worth now is irrelevant  as the transfer window is shut.

In the summer, assuming his agent doesn't screw up again, I would hope we can get £60-65m to reinvest in a couple of players as we are unlikely to be able to attract a £50+m player who will want wages to match unless we get into Europe..

I am assuming he continues in the form he has shown this season, if not the value will fall. To avoid that we should give him a revised contract with an agreed release clause. 

 

[David Hankey]

Compared to the current valuations and L'pool paying £75M for a defender I see no reason why Mahrez's value doesn't exceed £100M.
