He's more than good enough on his day.
The question reasonable people would have is
- Can we afford 50M+ on a 29 year old player who can be inconsistent
No question City can, I'd argue with Moura we are making a play at a player almost 5 years younger, with a higher ceiling, for half the price and probably less wages.

How in the flip does anybody have a scooby about that!
He could be a Jannsen
OR he could be a Son 
Gazza
Nick Barmby
Yeah that's a great point they have stones, mangala, zhirkhov and many more that are not good enough for us.
He's actually 26, not 29, though turns 27 in 3 weeks' time.
The bigger question is whether we need Mahrez in addition to Dele, Eriksen, Son, Moura and Lamela.
Mahrez is a bit different to all of them; could we keep all 6 happy? I'm not sure we could, especially as we sometimes play with a back 3, so to me it feels like if Mahrez comes in, one has to go

lets hope so, Moura is three times the player

No one can compete with them
They even argue they don’t spent as much as others but their average player cost now will be around £45m
There in an unreal position and will actually make the league worse and less attractive

Doubt he will play more then 10 games for them.
Shame because that Foden looked really good to me in the summer. I hope for the sake of his career he has not signed a contract with them.
Convenient you just name defenders there, care to name all the useless attacking mids they have?
He will play plenty of games for them, he easily has the quality. Even City would t be prepared to pay over 50 m for someone who will barely play. He is someone they can rotate without really dropping in quality....

Oh so now it's about attackers?
Tell me where Mahrez plays in that team when all are fit.
You sure Mahrez is 29?
Lol when all are fit? Please tell me a team competing for the quadruple who has all of their team fit all the time?
He will be playing plenty of games....
Gazza
Nick Barmby
He is the same level of quality as the current XI?

Very good there .... go to your original point.
Yes he is as dynamic as Sane, makes things happen on the ball just as much as him if not more and he’s been playing with Leicester - he’s only going to get better playing with those attackers....

Cheeky bid
They are happy to pay that money for someone who "potentially" will feature, the difference between Spurs and City/United/Cheat$ki/Real/Barca is two fold
- We won't buy a 100M player.
- We won't pay a player hush money to be quiet on the bench, Mahrez will not complain getting 200K/week if he doesn't play.
Correction on my earlier post, he's 27 (in a few weeks)
He's not the same quality as Sane/KDB/Silva, my guess is he's brought in because they are getting rid of Sterling, Sane is injured for a while and they can afford it.
