I would genuinely feel bad for Leicester and their fans if we "stole" Mahrez too. 

Is he in the last year of his contract? Can't see them even considering selling him if he isn't.

He has 3 years more.  Everyone suspects that Leicester will be bought out by others clubs. But if we get Mahrez

Think this is a nonstarter anyways. We'd have no place for him even if we sold someone. We have Willian, Pedro, and now Conte confirmed Cuadrado for the right side.

Hopefully he stays at Leicester and doesn't go to a big rival.

Whilst I agree numbers wise we don't have a place for him I can't help but cringe at seeing Pedro listed among those names. If the option is there for Mahrez then Pedro can gtfo asap.

Agreed, he'd be a massive upgrade. I'd sell Cuadrado to Juve since he clearly wants to stay there and they want him back.

Oscar and Cuadrado out, Mahrez in would be insanely good business. Those two sales combined would easily find Mahrez.

If we sign him as well Leicester fans will raid this forum lol.

I agree I don't think we need another LCFC player yet haha the only way we could get him though would be to pay at least £40-50M

Makes sense if we get rid of Oscar and Cuadrado..

Definitely a massive upgrade. I want us to keep Cuadrado because Conte rates him (he even wanted Cuadrado whilst Juve manager) and wants to use him. It keeps the manager happy and we already own the player so that's transfer money going towards other areas.

Honestly, when it comes to Oscar and Pedro I genuinely don't even think of them when predicting our line up and rotations for next season. I know I'll be disappointed when they end up getting many minutes between them tho.

Imagine the two best dribblers and wide players in the league on the same team with Hazard & Mahrez. And then Willian in the middle who's one of the best as well. How would defenses deal with that? 

Hazard, Willian, and Mahrez feeding Costa. Insane.

Plus  it would allow us to play both Kante and Matic in a midfield two without having to worry about creativity.

Sounds good but you have mis-spelt Ivan.

That's sad but true. He'll probably be starting there a significant amount of games.

We are facing stiff competition from Arsenal and Barcelona.. I won't be surprised if he choose Barca.

Does he want to be wasted on the bench?
