His age doesn’t really matter to me. He’s not really going to be an improvement on them and quite frankly would rather we played 352 than 343 with Mahrez in because he’s not an improvement on what we have in those wide forward areas plus it would be another severe overpayment if we got him for 42m, like Bakayoko for 40m, Batshuayi for 33m and Drinkwater for 35m. Overpaying for players that aren’t worth half although Drinkwater in cameos has looked closer to being a 40m player than Bakayoko.. the market is hugely inflated yes but PL is ridiculous.

It’s not impossible to get good value, we just signed Barkley for 15m (HG, youngish, can improve, will make club money if success or not).. got Marcus Alonso for 24m (considering the skepticism when he came it’s looking like a good fee), Rudiger for 34m (Looks a steal in comparison to Van Dijk or Stones fees). Ironically every time we go to buy from the PL the price is inflated to fuck. 

That's obviously your opinion. I, along with several others, disagree on that matter. Willian has no end product which is clear for anyone to see (today was another prime example of that). All English clubs are quoted stupid prices for players due to all the money that's in the league, and it's something we have to get on with whilst no talent is coming through our academy.

I can't keep second guessing the club intentions going forward, but we aren't going to spend £60-80m on any players IMO unless someone of a similar value is outgoing e.g. Costa-Morata. Only a few players are realistically obtainable this month with Mahrez being the only one with Prem experience whilst the names mentioned above don't fit that build. Fekir would cost at least £60m along with the fact he's best suited as an AM and Malcolm & Pulisic are potentially long term improvements. Just look how that's worked out in the past.

It's Mahrez or bust right now

Edit: Looks like it's bust

Would you still say Liverpool aren’t a team we should worry about if they continue to spend like this?

They are about to rake in £140m. Both of their recent transfers have been as a result of that.

If we fail to keep Hazard after this season I think both Liverpool and Spuds will leapfrog us going forward for the next couple of seasons.

I don't see what's great about Mahrez really. So, no. Again though, you missed the point. It's one thing to spend the money without having to sell. It's another to spend the money and having to sell or being forced to sell.

I think Mahrez would add a lot to our team or a side like Spuds who have a glaring hole on the right side of our attacks. Not really bothered about him being a like for like swap for Coutinho. Their attack is already great and Mahrez isn't as good as Coutinho.

Don't think they get any better with Mahrez. Not any worse, either.

BeIN sports also claimed last deadline day, that we had signed Mahrez...

Liverpool keep signing good players while we're scrounging in the garbage bin again. What a horrible feeling.

How much they want ??? Hahaha

Leicester could very well sink like a stone if they sold him in January. Doubt they'll do so until summer.

Who needs to sign good players, look how fit Marina has become recently.

Think it's because of the contract. He signed a new one last season, IIRC.

BREAKING NEWS

Sky Sports News has been told that Liverpool are not interested in signing Leicester winger Riyad Mahrez, as a replacement for Philippe Coutinho.

Reports have suggested the Algerian is close to a move, but we’ve been told that there has been no contact between Leicester and Liverpool. 

And while Jurgen Klopp is in the market for a creative forward player in the wake of Coutinho’s move to Barcelona, he has targets other than Mahrez in mind.

Leicester too, would want much more than the £50m fee suggested.

Buy him and a top10 lwb/lb and get a striker on loan and we are good to go 2nd half of season!
