I've stated several times my opinion of mahrez as one of the best 10 city players I've seen in many years of following city but as an complete player hazard has the edge in my humble opinion.
lcfc sheff Posted 22 May 2018 Posted 22 May 2018 Am I missing something? Has anything actually happened in these past 4 pages or just another rumour

I agree that Hazard is a better player, but it's definitely debatable. Both are top level wingers that would improve most sides in the world.
FoxyPalace.com Posted 22 May 2018 Posted 22 May 2018 Somethings smells here, no way our owners have rolled over and just gave in for £50 million when they wanted £80 in January. It is not their style... The drop seems way to much, I think he will go for £65 Million plus the player.

Every other aspect of the game such as successful take on's, key passes, pass completion, ground covered, defensive stats etc etc Hazard is better than him. He is way more of a threat than Mahrez. Not having a go at Riyad as Hazard is class but he is not better than him because he has a few more assists. In a better team of course that stats are going to be higher in the main, because he gets more time and space, has more options etc. Hazard I think is a more consistent threat, but when Mahrez moves and gets that sort of space, we'll really see what he can do.

Not having a go at Riyad as Hazard is class but he is not better than him because he has a few more assists. Also plays in a better team, in another system and with a bit more support than Riyad. People just tend to forget how difficult it is for a winger to play with no help from the FB and a limited support from the SS. Mahrez has basically to do everything on his own and no matter wat the naysayers might think, he was the difference between a relegation battle and pushing for 7th. Involved in 39 of our goals, scored or assisted vital ones. He was on a roll until january and head and shoulders above Hazard. Since we'll likely never see Hazard playing for us, I'll wait for Mahrez at Man City or even Chelsea (if it happens) to pass judgement.

CarbonVirtine Posted 22 May 2018 Posted 22 May 2018 Pretty please, can we talk sh*t about rumours please? On the understanding that we all now it's both sh*t and about rumour, of course.

justfoxes Posted 22 May 2018 Posted 22 May 2018 well the papers are dishing up a hell of a lot of bull? in this window apparently Leicester have dropped the price of Mahrez For Man City to grab a bargain we might as well offer them Morgan as a buy one get one free deal For Fuchs sake ! If City sell Mahrez for less than the £80m they wanted for him in January then they certainly need their heads testing, and with reports of Roberts coming to us as artbof the deal they value him at £15m but of late he’s always out injured so we’ll have a typical Sturridge Carroll Welbeck situation having a player who’s on the physios table more times than on the pitch !! Just a bit of a suck it and see moment to see how much we sell Mahrez for or will it be one of those undisclosed sales??

Not even 70M

Not even 70M Gotta say, I'd not be sniffy with that deal. The main thing for me is that Mahrez wants out and we've pretty much held on to him against his will. We've little goodwill to play with and there's little patience left in him - so we're just not negotiating from a position of strength and I feel there's nothing to be gained anymore by playing hard ball. £50M plus a player is pretty much as good as it's going to get, give or take, I reckon.

ARTY_FOX Posted 22 May 2018 Posted 22 May 2018 2 hours ago, Beechey said: £50m plus Roberts for me should be our floor. No lower should be considered and we should squeeze for more. Not fair to deny Riyad again, if that deal has been offered and Man City clearly won't move, then we should accept it. £50m will allow us to get 1 amazing player, or 2/3 good starters in. Will probably need to really spend big to fill the hole Mahrez will leave though. It's not fair of man city to bid stupidly low just because he plays for us. But they are.
Ian Nacho Posted 22 May 2018 Posted 22 May 2018 3 hours ago, Ric Flair said: Weren't we offered £60m and Roberts in January and we wanted £80-90m in reddies? Surely bare minimum should be what they offered previously, I know we argued we had no time to replace properly so wanted much more money but this feels too low. To be fair Roberts was injured at the time.
