Riyad Mahrez has admitted that he used to watch Chelsea as a youngster because of club legend Didier Drogba

Mahrez recently admitted that his funniest moment in Leicester’s title-winning campaign came when Tottenham threw the Premier League away at Stamford Bridge.

‘Funniest moment… I think when Tottenham were 2-0 ahead of Chelsea,’ he told FourFourTwo.

‘At half time it was like, all the team came to Vardy’s house and probably we are not going to be champions tonight. So I was like, what’s the point of coming today?

‘Then 2-1, 2-2, it was funny.’

So do you guys think we should go for him this summer? 

There's a big possibility that Leicester go down. And even if they don't go down he clearly will want out this summer. 

Yes he has been crap after last season, but the same thing happened to us. 

People wanted to sell Hazard and Costa last season because they where "rats" but they recover. 

I feel the same could happen with Mahrez.

Still no.

And the comparison with Hazard and Costa is just plain silly. Yes, they were bad last season but at least they had good seasons before that and we know they can perform at the highest level. There's still a huge question mark over that on Mahrez, whose last season's form looks nothing more than anomaly at this point. He's not even done anything good this season to suggest otherwise.

Nope, his only good season was the last one, Costa and Hazard had several excelent season before. We should focus on Bernardo Silva for the RW

Stay away now, if we ever approached in the first place that is. We should be looking at throwing cash at Alexis Sanchez or someone at that level for our right side.

Do we need a right sided attacker at all? Pedro and Wiliian are already having to share the position.

Unless it's someone spectacular like Sanchez.

Tell me, do you think Mahrez is the guy to help us win the Champions League? For me he isn't that calibre of player to go against Bayern etc but good for the squad I think.

I still think it's the same. 

When your caught in a moment they are in, everything is horrible. 

Conte was able to bring out the best of Moses, sure he can with Mahrez.

How is it the same? In one case, you have two players with proven track record. In the other one, the player doesn't have that.

Conte has done wonders with this squad but let's not treat as if he'll turn every player into some world class player.

It's a magnificent myth that Antonio has improved Moses. Victor is exactly the same player he ever was. All that has happened, is that Antonio has utilised him better. Victor is now performing a role which is within his limitations. Ask him to function as a wide attacker once more and he would not win a place in the side. The idea that Antonio has some kind of magic wand to transform journeymen into superstars is just wishful thinking.

He simply plays in a role where he has space. Having speed and stamina coupled with space will make anyone look half decent. He still looks down at the floor the whole 90 minutes and has such a low football IQ

Its not that Conte snapped his fingers and Moses became better, but Moses has improved a lot this season. Both in attack and in defense, and especially in defense. I think that he would be a better winger today than he was when he played with us for the first time.

Well not only Moses but also David luiz. He was not wanted by many here nor by many pundits. Look at how he has help him as well. 

I have no doubt that the same can be done for Mahrez.

OK, we have a straightforward disagreement. Victor is more effective, because he is put in situations he can cope with but, in terms of his capabilities, he is not any better. That being my opinion, you'll understand why I absolutely and totally disagree with your assessment.

Even now he makes beyond ridiculous brainfarts in the final 3rd and im talking one's no pro should make.
