i keep reading reports lfc are interested in Riyad Mahrez if pc goes. any truth in this?

Zero interest. It seems to be Lemar only at the minute.

Lemar will not come to lfc nor mahrez. I think no more new arrival till summer even if pip goes.

Its from twitter. Some guy called graeme kelly has had a few things right over the summer. He now reckons we will go for Mahrez as a replacement for now, and Lemar anyway in the summer. Mahrez makes sense because he would be eligible for CL. Definitely adds quality and a bit of magic. I don't know what to believe anyway, but I am a Mahrez fan for sure.

My matet has just text me saying mahrez aswell. and looked at betting odds and we’ve gone from 10/ 1 to 2/ 1 faves . he’s a right winger tho so I don’t see it happening unless he plays midfield aswell. I’m stumped 🤔. I think we’re just linked with every tom dick and harry and is all just speculation. Would any of you be happy with mahrez?

Even if your nickname is negative, I have to say that I am also thinking no one is joining, if Phil leaves. Would actually be pretty OK (my opinion, obviously) if we could get Keita in though, since we're lacking a number 8, been like that ever since Stevie left, I was hopeful Henderson could fill those shoes, but sadly that's not the case.

I know that this may sound like heresy, but I'd have Berkley from Everton as the number 10 if and when Coutinho moves on.
It would never happen but I do like the player, and he'd be a cracking signing, for me.

{Ed025's Note - wow, he is a lazy little git with ideas above his station juicer, needs to get away from the city as his crew and hangers on are ruining his career mate..

Mahrezs can have a bad attitude, but I'd take him. He could provide the magic when we need it, can play centrally or wide, and hoepfully klopp could sort him out.

Another thing mahrez has won the premier league an was a key member in that squad he has vision pace technique an quality plus qualifys too play in champs league I think it's a smart move he is quite like benayoun was.

{Ed025's Note - like benayoun hailstones?...is that a plus or negative mate?..

I wouldn’t look to bring in Mahrez and I don’t think Klopp would either, the only similar attribute to Coutinho he would bring is his poor attitude.

Mahrez is bang average at best. Had one really good season and that’s it. Selling Coutinho and bringing in mediocrity like Mahrez would be typical of us.

Mahrez is far from mediocre.


12.) 04 Jan 2018

Yeah our transfer dealings have been terrible the last couple of seasons, VVD, Keita, Ox, Salah, Mane, will this madness never end!

Dennis, Mahrez is not mediocre lol!

I know he has struggled a bit since (not surprising in that Leicester team! ) but he is still the same lad who won player of the year and got 30+ goals and assists.

By definition, Mahrez cannot be mediocre. I think with some guidance he could be very useful.

Just look at how Salah has transformed this season in our system. The system a side plays is very important.

Mahrez is like going back to Downing, Cole, Adam Etc. Simply not good enough.


15.) 04 Jan 2018

Navy, Salah isn’t comparable at all to Mahrez. Salah has had one bad period in his career at Chelsea. Other than that, he was and has always been a consistent and top notch player at Basle, Fiorentina and Roma. Mahrez has literally had one really good season and that’s it. He simply is not good enough to replace Coutinho and would be a massive waste of money.


16.) 04 Jan 2018

Mahrez is quality that’s not opinion that’s fact. One of the best dribblers in league, can pull some great tricks out of the hat and would help regain some of those long distance goals. At we will lose with Coutinho going. He’d probably be far cheaper than most other options, he’s far better than Lanzini. The only issues would be where would he play? Can we put it in his contract that he sorts his hair out?


17.) 04 Jan 2018

Being better than Lanzini is not a reason to sign a player. We’re talking about replacing one of most effective attacking midfielders in the league with a hit and miss winger who is not a top class player by any stretch, he’s an average premier league player who has not been consistent during his career and would represent one of the worst ways to spend money since we offered Newcastle £35m for Carroll. It’s Deja vu, we seem to do this every time we sell a top player for stupid money. The process is sell top class player (Torres, Suarez, Coutinho and Stirling to a degree), then over pay on an average player and hope for the best (See Carroll, Markovic, Balotelli Etc) .


18.) 04 Jan 2018

I’m pretty sure average players don’t win the PFA player of the year award. If Klopp wants him that’s good enough for me.


19.) 04 Jan 2018

Personally I don't think Mahrez can fill Coutinho's magic boots but Klopp has steered us true so far.

Trust him completely.

What is the point of keeping a player who doesn't want to play for the club? . As for mahrez being average lmao do me a favour Dennis.
Coutinho is a very good player but not bigger than the club an if he stays could cause problems in the dressing room. Whether we go for lemar or mahrez one thing is for sure they will at least want to play for the Red shirt not throw their dummy out an fake injuries.


21.) 04 Jan 2018
04 Jan 2018 20:52:34
Mahrez can dribble, score, find a pass, some of you are even comparing him to downing? Barring a poor attitude (which mane is guilty of prior to joining) he’s a great player. I would rather have Lemar but barring Lemar Mahrez is better and more realistic than what a lot of you have suggested. Lanzini? Barkley? Mahrez is a class above.


22.) 04 Jan 2018

If we plan on playing 3 rw then mahrez would be perfect.
