lcfc sheff Posted 31 May 2018 Posted 31 May 2018 i'm not even fussed, he's nowhere near a mahrez replacement as some seem to think 2

I think it's highly unlikely we'll be getting more than one attacking player to replace Mahrez, unless in fact we sell Gray, albrighton etc. We're after a no.10 who's a bit tall I personally think, and looks like we have cooled 'interest' with hazard, ben arfa etc which says a lot. 1

Don't know how up to date this is. Our average wage being higher than theirs =/= not us being able to out spend them on an individual. Plus, theirs is an improving situation, ours isn't. Additionally, money is not everything. Again, they're in the Champions league and look like they'll be a regular fixture for the foreseeable as well. We'll not get back in any time soon.

Both of them have been shown up this season & im not sure either of them are good enough. We will get £60m from Riyad so I'd expect all that to go back into his replacement.
Superpants82 Posted 31 May 2018 Posted 31 May 2018 As people have said we have to be looking at as close to a Riyad replacement as possible and throw money at it. Lets be honest surely we had a budget of around 60-80 this summer before any sales. Once Mahrez goes that puts us at (roughly at 120-140m) take away the Pereira fee were still looking at 100m surely? When you think we're looking at Grealish and Evans I really hope we are looking at a big signing to fill the gap of Mahrez, fans will have twitchy bum time every game otherwise. Gray and Diabette are not the answer Yet. 1
Bluearmyfox28 Posted 31 May 2018 Posted 31 May 2018 My 2 signings I would want personally from the Riyad sale is, Thorgan Hazard/Maddison as the No.10 & Shaqiri as the wide man.

I think it's very much possible we have a budget of say £80m, but if the right players aren't available I think they'll settle spending a lot less, and perhaps revaluate in January.

Gray and Diabette are not the answer Yet. There's also the probability of some other players leaving this summer or by January the latest - I can think of Benalouane, Slimani, Musa, Ulloa, Morgan, King, Jakupovic, Fuchs (MLS in January) and potentially Okazaki (Japan this summer or MLS in January). That could free up up to another £50m to £55m. Edited 31 May 2018 by MC Prussian 2
Ted Maul Posted 31 May 2018 Posted 31 May 2018 Should have been doing everything we could to get him. He may have still gone elsewhere, but we may have just stood a chance by offering higher wages and Puel's influence on his brother's development.
Heymister2015 Posted 31 May 2018 Posted 31 May 2018 shaqiri was bought into stoke to take them on another level from mid table. Instead they had two scraps with the bottom resulting in relagation. He's the type of player that belongs at QPR when they were signing so called big names. We can do better ie hazard or ousmane dembele on a season loan

We can do better ie hazard or ousmane dembele on a season loan Sorry but this is nonsense. The stoke team he had around him was woeful! To get the goals & assists that he did in that side in my eyes is almost as impressive as Riyad’s figures for us last year. Talking about Shaqiri though, I would be very surprised if West Ham don’t make a move for him. Especially if Man U make a move for Arnautovic. Edited 31 May 2018 by Bluearmyfox28
Guest Posted 31 May 2018 Posted 31 May 2018 I'm pretty sure that Thorgan will be playing at KP on the 1st August. He'll probably be in the Valencia squad in the friendly.
