One - the bloody big hole he will leave behind as he creates so much especially for Vards and at times has two or three covering him. Two- how good he would be in City’s team - wait till he starts getting quality passes in the last third consistently and breaks at pace with more than one man keeping up......he will be frightening Kante is the best player to have played and left us in my time (40 years+) but sadly I think Riyad could come very close for different qualities but similar impact No I get all that, obviously. My point was that it's a shame there aren't any bigger and better clubs on the continent coming in for him. I just don't want to see him playing against us! Unless of course it's in the Champions League...

Unless of course it's in the Champions League... Tbh though in the next few years there won't be many better clubs out there. I can't begrudge him moving to a team like that and he will get game time there too. Clearly with Roma's insulating offer last summer, other clubs don't rate him as highly as we do. Although I think £50 million is too cheap for him in this market, I just want it resolved so we can move on and not have it hanging over our heads. Plus it seems we're going to get a potential England winger in return if he can develop right.

A few take into account the insane market prices due to the Neymar deal and value him at his right worth but the majority indeed don't undersand why they would pay that much for him. Not a lot of exposure and the fact that he plays for a club outside the top 6, so they feel entitled to pay less I guess. To be fair, they also don't know him as much as we do.

Guest Posted 23 May 2018 Posted 23 May 2018 (edited) Let's be honest, Mahrez pisses all over Sterling so I can see him going there, breaking into the first team and forming a Sane/KdB/David Silva/Mahrez foursome behind Aguero that pushes them to the Champions League. I'm going to hate seeing it. Edited 23 May 2018 by Guest
Bob Weasel Fox Posted 23 May 2018 Posted 23 May 2018 Mahrez would be fantastic at a club like Manchester City sad to say but true
Grebfromgrebland Posted 23 May 2018 Posted 23 May 2018 Manchester City will have to pay Leicester in region of £75m for Mahrez Considerable add-ons will supplement basic fee of £60m Guardiola turned to Mahrez after Sanchez joined United Jamie Jackson @JamieJackson___ Wed 23 May 2018 09.16 BSTLast modified on Wed 23 May 2018 09.35 BST Shares 5 Manchester City will have to pay a basic fee of £60m for Riyad Mahrez, with Leicester City also to demand considerable add-ons which could push the final price closer to £75m for the 27-year-old. The total would still be closer to the champions’ own valuation and is considerably lower than the total package of £95m demanded by the 2016 title-winners in January. That resulted in the Manchester club walking away, with the hierarchy believing the demand to be particularly unrealistic. Pep Guardiola considers making move for Ajax defender Matthijs de Ligt Read more Guardiola turned to Mahrez after Alexis Sanchez joined Manchester United in January and remains interested in adding the wide forward to bolster this area of his squad. In the winter window City never made a formal offer for the 27-year-old, who is under contract until 2020, though informal discussions between City’s chief executive, Ferran Soriano, and his opposite number, Susan Whelan, did take place.
Grebfromgrebland Posted 23 May 2018 Posted 23 May 2018 If this is true then it's probably the best we could hope for. Hopefully we have an exciting replacement lined up!
FoxyPalace.com Posted 23 May 2018 Posted 23 May 2018 I knew the owners would screw them! Good Bye Mahrez. 1

Well, MASSIVE sections of their support are NOT good people. How do I know This? Well not only am I Scottish and live in Scotland were in constantly surrounded in hatred and bigotry evolving around these two clubs, not only do I see them use the sexual abuse of children and derogatory religious insults on a daily basis but up until the age of 14, I was a season ticket holder at Ibrox. Not only did I see and hear grown men physically and verbally abuse supporters of the opposite team and religion, I sat next to them. I sang the same songs. ...... Then I grew up! Then I realised what I was singing and who I was associated with. Then in 1999/2000 I was taken to my first Leicester game and I realised for the first time that this wasn't normal behaviour. So Yeah, you may know one or two old firm fans but you know nothing about the culture that surrouds them. You'e not saw mum's refuse to buy their children their teams tops in ase they get jumped or your Catholic pal tuck in his crucifix whilst walking past a rangers club. Your assuming my exposure to that culture when you know nothing about me, I have seen it first hand and witness the hatred. However I choose not to generalise, categorises or stereotype people on the back of their religious beliefs, race, sex or team they support.

rachhere Posted 23 May 2018 Posted 23 May 2018 Man City fans on Twitter now saying there's no way they will be paying that much and they don't see it happening. Who knows what's going on!

Babylon Posted 23 May 2018 Posted 23 May 2018 £60m upfront with another £15m of fairly likely add-ons is enough to get it done IMO. If he helps Man City continue to win things, the extra £15m is chump change to them. But we get a realistic total price for how good we know he is and can be.
Popular Post urban.spaceman Posted 23 May 2018 Popular Post Posted 23 May 2018 We could be about to sell a player for almost double what the Thais paid for Leicester City Football Club. What a time to be alive. 5

Popular Post Gerard Posted 23 May 2018 Popular Post Posted 23 May 2018 It would be nice to see a club like Chelsea just slap in a £75m offer and force Man City to put up or shut up. Mahrez's value is just snobbery, if he was playing for a top club then they'd just pay the asking price. Mahrez has world class stats over the last three seasons and you only have to look at his highlight reel to see he's an outstanding technical footballer. The snobbery extends not only to his club but his nationality. If he was playing for France his valuation would sky rocket as we would see him being one of the best players in the French national team and there would be evidence he can still excel with top class players around him. 5 1

Let's be honest, they won't get a better player than Mahrez for £50m. There aren't too mabt around with the qualities he has. I rate Zaha but he's not as good as Mahrez. I'm sure they could get Zaha for £50m but they won't be getting a player as good.
richardsfoxes Posted 23 May 2018 Posted 23 May 2018 Do we still have the comparison stats between Riyad and Hazard on here? Cant see to find them if anyone can link - So this deal we've outlined is it a flat fee or is Roberts included in the deal now?
