Mahrez

Not open for further replies.
Mahrez will just be a stop gap till the summer

But it's a good signing netherless

He will be perfect when we play away from home with our counter attacking style

He will fit right in

He will be a key player for us..

He will grab a bucket load of assists for the remainder of the season
There’s no way we’re buying a 50m quid stopgap for 6 months.

I meant lemar is the big signing we will make in the summer

Mahrez will be a long term option too.. But he will fill the gap Coutinho will leave till Lemar comes in, in the interim

As for free kicks..

We now have VVD for them
 
Mahrez is good isn't he? I'm okay with this. I don't want us to sell Coutinho at all but if he is going Mahrez will contribute until the summer. It would be madness to weaken ourselves so severely in Jan without getting someone in.

Mahrez is also a ball carrier which will be needed. Coutinho doesn't get enough credit for picking up the ball in deep positions beating his man and carrying the ball into advanced positions. His ability to turn right and left leaves the defender bamboozled. His 'stop-go' game is great. Mahrez has a bit of that about him too.

In actual fact based on stats and consistency over a season ...Mahrez wins without doubt. The problem is ... he is not from Brazil and we are getting him from another PL team. Its weird coz everything about him should suggest we are getting a better player but something in us suggests we are not.

You're talking like everything's a certainty. What are you basing this on?
 
Well, if Carl Markham (verified) says it isn't true, then we all know it isn't!

Thanks Oli! Proving your value to the site once again.

I tell you what, when I hear people saying you're a boring, smug snide that nobody likes, I just have to point them to posts like this to remind them of your qualities
 
Echo saying we have no interest, and Lemar is the main target to replace Coutinho.
As good as you guys are saying Lemar is - we know from history that french league does not translate to PL success. At least with Mahrez we would get PL quality guarantee. Fuck this is so risky.

Is there a pill you can take? I fear you're having a breakdown.

Mahrez may be proven in this league, but he's hardly the creative focus we need. I don't know enough about Lemar to judge - isn't he cup-tied for Europe? We're short of numbers for Europe now - but if the manager rates him then it's hardly a basis to get so jittery. We've actually won quite a few games without Coutinho, you know.

I don't think there's any doubting his creative ability.

However we've actually performed better without Coutinho (9-3-1) than with him (8-9-1) this season.

Understand @LFC have contacted @LCFC directly to tell them they have no interest in winger Riyad Mahrez - among a number of first-teamers left out of the Foxes' FA Cup team at Fleetwood - and speculation is "complete fabrication"
5:20 am - 6 Jan 2018

It's a cunny plan to cool down the interest for this player in a hot market only to suddenly give them a 20 M take it or leave it offer the last day of the window... :graham:

Smokescreen...
Its more likely we called them and said.. "Hey we ain't been talking to no one in Blackpool fam!"
"How much you want?"
 
Looks like this is happening

Reported €55 euro deal, 4 1/2 year deal

Will wear the number 10 shirt vacated by shit head
 
Yup, I think everyone is feeding off the same reports.

There are no reports from the people with close links to the club, Maddock, Joyce, Reddy and so on. But I wonder are they actually being too quiet, if that makes sense.

Yep.. The silence from them and Leicester is deafening...
 
I don't like the idea of paying so much for Mahrez, but what he would add is instant premier league proven quality. That gives more time to get other players in the team who might need more time to settle. However, I can't see a world where we buy both Mahrez and Lemar. We would have too many attackers then in my view.
