Something about Mahrez strikes me as very Levy. Probably available for a not unreasonable price, and we've not been linked all summer. It's like a Charlie Adam, Jermaine Jenas type of 'this player is proven in the PL, we can probably get him for a good price, should we try?' kind of thing.
The difference is, he's also proven himself to be a good team player, and is showing a great deal of respect to Leceister. Poch would probably be a fan. Also read earlier in the summer he was willing to take a wage cut to join Roma.
I can totally see this being a wait until the last day to make our move while all our rivals have spent their money. Can also see Arsenal making a move particularly if they lose Sanchez too.

They're asking £40m for Drinkwater though....what do you think Mahrez would cost and do you think Levy would pay that?

50 mill, he is on over 100k at Leicester so will want the same if not more wherever he moves. Can't see it happening

No chance of him coming to Spurs. He is already on over £100k a week at Leicester. That would make the package too big with his £35 million plus transfer fee.

Judging by the comments from Leicester fans last season, he goes missing quite a lot.

Mahrez of two seasons ago. The one season where he was 'that Mahrez'.
Undoubtedly has talent, but I think its fair to question just how he might apply it given he has only ever had one hot season.
Who is the real Mahrez? The one from that single season, or the one from the rest of his career?

It wasn't even a whole season. It was the first half of that season.

See my post above. There's been some chatter he's been willing to take a wage cut. Besides, even then, he's not wildly out of the ball park. If he was on 150+ right now, maybe. But we also don't know how much Levy is going to increase the structure for this year once September hits.
I think if Arsenal made a move they'd get him. If they don't, I think we have a great chance.

This, i have posted elsewhere that i was in a pub after the Leicester game there last season and got into conversation with a few Leicester fans. To a man they said he was great during their winning season( but also said the whole team was) but since then and before that season he is a lazy player and is not a team player.
Not one of them said they would worry if he left.

It is this reason why I don't think that we are interested and the links are just paper talk. There isn't room for passengers in a Poch team.

I feel a "reverting to mean" coming on!

Ha! No. Its a valid concern to raise.
I cant quite decide with Mahrez. Part of me thinks its the case and he was a one hit wonder, part of me thinks in the right team he could be incredible. I lean more to the former, but Im far from certain.

The price has to reflect that risk to make the transfer worth considering, the figures being talked about don't.

For 50 million you need to be certain.There is a reason he is still at Leicester though if Sanchez does go to city then he will probably be an arsenal player by this time tomorrow.

Exactly what they don't need, a floaty, attacking player, who goes missing when it matters.
