Juventus keeps on making the right signings.
The club don't want to sell that's why they are demanding £50m, if Virgil van Dyke is going for £60m+ then you can hardly say we're being greedy
Fair price for Mahrez in my opinion. Leicester's not being greedy at all, you gotta do what you gotta do.
I just thought I'd share this article because further down the pages I saw £30m - £40m for him.
I really like Mahrez, but he doesn't strike me as a Mourinho player whatsoever. On the ball he can be absolutely magical, but even in a hardworking Leicester team he doesn't really offer much defensively
Telegraph reports that Arsenal aren't willing to go above 35m on him but Leicester are wanting 50m.
Is he worth a cheeky bid of 40m? We clearly need an improvement on the wings, esp if Miki is going to play number 10.
I'd have him here in a flash, also one in the eye for Wenger

We should go for him along with perisic, his service would be very useful for lukaku and also add a creative option on the wing in tight spaces and high pressure.
Arsenal with him Sanchez lacazette and ozil will be some team.
I would like to hear Mourinhos thoughts on him before we approach him. It's not sure he'd fit into the team. He's pretty much a one man show on the right wing. Can't have one player demanding that much time on the ball.
Do not want. Played out of his skin in title winning year and then disappeared last season.
That helps to keep the ball in tight spaces and high press, create and improvise, Unlike Mkh who runs into it and looses the ball.

Nope not greedy at all, I fully agree.
Would be a poor signing for me. He had one remarkable season, but proved last season he goes missing all to often.
Wouldn't be an upgrade on Miki or Mata. Would be a slight improvement on Lingard, but for the price it wouldn't be worth the effort or media hype to bring him in.
I'd rather perisic to bring natural width to our wing play

Think he would be a fantastic signing. I would hate him to end up at Arsenal. If they keep Sanchez; then The Cassette, Mahrez and Sanchez will be very dangerous with their pace and ability to beat a man.
I'd rather we get Lemar if at all possible
Can still be class but his head was definitely turned last season. I think LCFC's valuation is a bit high considering his horrible season, but they need the cash as they're splashing out the cash on current purchases, most of them on the offensive end. Will be one to watch as the close to the transfer window gets closer.
Mahrez scored 10 goals and assisted 7 last year. Perisic had 11 goals and assisted 10. Even though Mahrez and the entire Leicester team had a poor season he still performed to almost the same level as Perisic. Mahrez is comfortably better than Perisic, Lingard and Mata (as a winger). Would definitely be happy if we sign him for the RW.
we really don't need the cash at all, that's why we can demand the fee we want and not waver from it, people underestimate how rich our owners are
Lets face it, they same they same sort of thing about Arse every season.
He is a very good player, but we don't know which Mahrez we'll get. Reminds me of Nani.
My point regarding Perisic was as an overall signing, not as a direct signing instead of Mahrez as they play on separate wings.
I'm happy with Miki/Mata/Lingard to compete for RW, therefore no need for Mahrez to be signed, whereas Perisic is needed for the LW role to compete with Martial
Well Consistancy is there problem, They do give a run for their money to top teams and league favourites on their day.
A player who was the best player in the country season before last would be just a 'slight improvement' on Lingard?
He's a maverick and a match-winner, don't think 'hardworking' should be the criteria for every single player per se. He has genius to his game.
He's good but not great. We need to try and do better than the likes of Mahrez and Perisic. But I suppose Mahrez is better than watching players like Lingard play like fullbacks on the wing. At least Mahrez is technically gifted.
He's a better fit for arsenal imo.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
And you can't spell consistency either.
Would you say the same about Hazard?
Lovely player, but he got found out a little bit last season I thought.
Oh come on, First of all i dont think that will happen in every game with the midfeild balance sorted out which wil give more freedom to attacking players. I dealy we need a creative winger on the right who is actually faster than mata and can play in tight spaces. There is no reason to be sarcastic on mourinho that he will force every winger to play at full back every game. He didnt in an unbeaten run last season.
Exactly.
I'd have him here. He'd be a massive upgrade on shite like Lingard.
On his day he's a wonderful player, but his day has become increasingly infrequent and I wouldn't bank on him when the chips are down. That said, he has great technique, excellent balance and
Would love to see him here.
Much as I don't think Jesse is a great player, he gets a raw deal on here I think. He's a flexible squad option, and also one of us. He has his uses in the squad.
We didnt have any creativity on the right last season. At least on the left we had the likes of Martial and Rashford. Mkhi is alright on the wing but definitely not Lingard or Mata. Both useless on the wing. I love Mata and I hope we push him to the middle and make him play as a #10 this season.
We don't have a player like him in the squad, someone unpredictable with lots of natural talent. Mkhitaryan should in theory be able to do that kind of job on the right, but Mahrez has the ball on a string when he's playing to his potential and the ability to glide past the opposition effortlessly which would make our right side much more dangerous.
Going forward yes, but going back no, Jose will pick players like Lingard over Mahrez all day long.
We need to be better going forward, also mahrez has played counter attacking in leicester and can do a decent job going forward. You dont need to track back 100 m in a mid 3
A spineless luxury player, leave him to Arsenal.
Come on. I would think that if he wasn't delivering the goods so often for a nobody team that they won the league.
He had one flash in the pan season where everything went right for Leicester including their journeyman striker having a season he'll never repeat, and as soon as things got tough last season he gave up, weak menatlity is pointless under Mourinho, he will be much better suited to Wenger's mollycoddling.
