Guest Posted 21 May 2018 Posted 21 May 2018 (edited) If our club rates Roberts then I've no problem with them including him in the deal BUT I'm expecting us to sign another winger as a proper replacement. Gray, Roberts and Diabate all have potential but do not have enough right now for a push towards Europe. Edited 21 May 2018 by Guest

Jesus, villa rate grelish at 60 million and wtf Hmmm... The record paid for a player by a Championship club is Wolves for Neves - £15.8m, but he wasn't a Championship player. The record paid for a player between two championship clubs is Assombalonga to Boro £15m The record for a championship player to the premier league is Chris Wood £15m Not really close to £50m is it? There have been transfers from relegated clubs such as Sissoko to Spurs for £35m but although the selling club were technically Championship, the player had not played in that league so could not be considered a Championship player. 2

Ric Flair Posted 22 May 2018 Posted 22 May 2018 Man City seem determined to not pay more than £65 million for a player, it's quite surprising given the amount of money they have. I'm sure they'll eventually do it for some mega star but they obviously view Mahrez like most of the footballing world as just a good player from a scruffy club. Part of me just wants this over with so £50-60m and Roberts I could about stomach but then also I want teams to start taking us seriously and pay for what we and players like Mahrez have achieved. For those reasons he's a £90m player minimum. 1
RODNEY FERNIO Posted 22 May 2018 Posted 22 May 2018 Reading their forum the consensus should be a maximum fee of £50 million. Some are suggesting £30-40 million. Got a feeling this could drag on as its also been reported that the agent's fee has not been agreed. Still wouldn't surprise me if we've got a sulking player on the books when the next season kicks off !!

FoxyPalace.com Posted 22 May 2018 Posted 22 May 2018 This will be a bad move for Mahrez because I generally believe with Manchester depth of squad he will not play that often. 12 months time he will be sulking again! Although a great player for us, he will just be another bod for them.

He’ll earn his place with goals and a magic first touch because he’s actually good enough. 3

Not it sure I see him able to do this but if pep manages it then fair play to him sterling and sane were unreal last season - riyad can’t expect to get in front of either man unless their form drops dramatically. (Which I guess is possible with sterling as it’s happened before )

RumbleFox Posted 22 May 2018 Posted 22 May 2018 Love Mahrez, always will, but I hope we get this done as soon as possible for our sake as the longer it drags on the more painful it gets. Will be painful watching him play for someone else but the neutral in me respects Pep and will be interesting to see how our wee little Mahrez does on the biggest stage. £50m plus Roberts would probably just about do for me though I do think his value is closer to £100m when you look at similar transfers.

(Which I guess is possible with sterling as it’s happened before ) I wondered this actually. Mahrez has never really been a "flying wide man" in the mould of Sterling or Sane. As much as I hate the thought of him leaving I will watch his career with interest if he does join Man City. X
Grebfromgrebland Posted 22 May 2018 Posted 22 May 2018 (edited) Mahrez is as good as sterling and sane just look at his output in a pretty shitty Leicester team. It'll be great to see him with more world class players around him. At Leicester he's 'only' had Vardy and Kante. I miss him already .... Edited 22 May 2018 by Grebfromgrebland

somebum Posted 22 May 2018 Posted 22 May 2018 (edited) Never heard of this Roberts sounds crap but one thing is for sure all the people who said mahrez is lazy get rid etc will all see his true worth when he leaves. The creativity and flair will be sucked from this side and we will see the true pragmatic depths of puels reign next season. This is the dawn of a painfully scripted new order under Claude Dull. No idea how he is still in job Edited 22 May 2018 by somebum

murphy Posted 22 May 2018 Posted 22 May 2018 I'm surprised that there are no other teams in for him. We need another club to bid the price up. If he does end up going to Man City for £50m then that is what he is worth. Probably because despite being a genius and often breathtaking he can also be ordinary and frustrating. Brilliant but mercurial. If it were 'peanuts', other clubs would be queuing up for him.

However, Capito is the past participle Hai Capito? Capisci second person indicative present, often used as a rhetorical request for confirmation,. Both are correct, but 'capeesh' comes from Capisci. Only one man can settle this
