One player that came to my mind is Jose Fonte, solid CB, was great at Euro 2016, just a shame we couldn´t grab Renato Sanches before Bayern, but one midfielder we should definitely go after is Joao Mario.

I like Fonte, solid CB overall, but already over 30 if I'm not mistaken, would much prefer Koulibaly/Mustafi.
Two young players we should've been all over in the past two years are Renato and Dembele, we didn't grab any of them, we're going to regret it for the next 10 years and more. Shame.
I've been watching highlights videos of Joao, (Up until before the Euro didn't know too much about him) and now I'm more and more convinced he could be a very solid midfielder for us, and seeing how our chase for Nainggolan failed I'd welcome him here with open arms.

i agree, we should have chased at least one of those players, but now it´s more and more difficult, Joao Mario is up for grabs, but he wont come cheap, Sporting´s President is a real hard ass. Nainggolan would be great tough, but it seems a lost cause, one player i wanted for sometime now is Verratti or even Witsel

You would need a lorry full of money for Mahrez I would buy Sofiane Boufal a lot cheaper than Maherz and both players are very similar to each other in style

A lorry full of money gets you in positions to win things, scraping the barrel and thinking the team is 'decent' is no good to us. We cannot in this window and we haven't penny pinched so far, if we think a player is available for that position then we should move for him. If it costs 40M to get Mahrez here and players like Oscar and the other dead wood make up for it then great. 

This squad need quality not just on the field but really good options on the bench. Players like Pedro are bench options, Mahrez should be starting, that's the depth I am talking about.

The TV money and RA mate makes us not worry now, forget Leeds, they only way we should be compared is the country we are in and not the financial carry on.

If a player fits what we need we go for them, whether it's Mahrez or some other player. Leicester was a total freak happening, it won't happen again soon, we need the desire of the coach and big money spent on this team and very quickly.

Boufal is a left sided player, the same side as Hazard.

Boufal can play on either flank or in the No.10 role very useful player to have in your squad

Those aren't preferred positions. He's shown the most potential on the left so you don't buy him and stick him on the right.

Not stopping me from wanting him.

45m is chump change for a player of the year. The idea of Hazard, Willian and Mahrez is eye and mouthwatering!

[Dazzy_Vance 454]

If we're prepared to offer 80m for Morata I'm pretty sure we can pay up 45m for Mahrez

80m?!

We aren't a Utd or City. We have some sense.

It was euros, but still. Madrid rejected it and are now asking for more.

Is Mahrez, a CM (Mario), a CB (Manolas or Koulibaly), a LB (Rodriguez) and a back up striker (Gabigol) too much to ask?  

[It's too big 625]

Whispers that City are going to bid for him. Where they getting all their money from? It's like everyone else is going on a spending spree freely. Sane, Nolito, Bonucci, Mahrez, Gundogan, and I am sure others too. 

[the wes 7,212]

Riyad Mahez is 5/6 to stay with Leicester despite being linked with Arsenal, Chelsea and even Barcelona. Having failed in their pursuit of Jamie Vardy, the Gunners are 11/4 to swoop for the PFA Player of the Year while Mahrez is 8/1 to follow N'golo Kante to Chelsea this summer. A move to Barcelona can be backed at 5/1.

[Chelsea4 1,521]

We are not gonna sign Mahrez and we don't need him we have Hazard,Willian,Pedro and probably Cuadrado.He is a great player but i don't thing he would fit in to Conte's plans.

[Unionjack 7,531]

It SEEMS like we are still looking at forwards with so many linked with us.

But that might be in our favor taking attention from the FB and CB we are going to buy. We bloody better be anyway..

City wouldn't. They have way too many attacking players.
