With Salah, Mané, and AOC and Lallana who can also play wide, it would make no sense to me. But then 90% of transfer rumours in the press make no sense.

Don't believe anything the metro says. They said we've signed thor as a centre back partner for vvd yesterday!

Any thoughts on this eds? I have read it too, seems an awful lot of rumours if it's not true.

Dont forget couts was wide pre salah and moved into mid. Mahrez is a great dribbler. One two touch and cuts inside shoots outside of box. Remind you of anyone. PREM PROVEN.
Next year new midfield with more creativity in Keita. Goertza? . Hell then be salah cover.
£140m = Mahrez + top class keeper + Rb.
Summer = Lemar / striker.

Maybe he will play in the middle, he has good vision and a good eye for goal which would work well in a more central role, although at nearly 27 it’s fairly old for a position change.

Its definitely happening.

Why would we necessarily be playing Mahrez out wide? People can change positions which we have seen with Klopp multiple times.

I'll wait for one of the Eds to confirm either way.

Mahrez isn’t the quality we need, hope we can do better.

Haven't really got an opinion as to how successful mahrez would be but I've noticed a theme at many games I've been to this season.

Klopp has gone into a 4-4-2 with mane going left salah going central with another striker and normally AOC playing from the right.

As has been mentioned coutinho was played wide before salah came in and in my opinion we have looked better at times this year when he was back out there and we didn't have all 4 of the "big 4" on the pitch.

Anyway if mahrez came in I'd see him taking up that wide right role in the 4-4-2 system as well as covering salah on the right of a 3 or dropping deeper to the midfield coutinho role once klopp gets his work rate and tactically knowledge of our system up to speed.

Sly Sports saying no Mahrez deal and that other creative forwards are being targeted.

Phew!

Hope no! Better save the money and use it to buy Oblak and in this window we should only try to get Keita if not we have enough cover for Coutinho.

Mahrez can play centrally too. He plays in a similar high press and counter attack system for a poorer team in the same league. He knows what it takes in the prem and isn't cup tied for champions league.
I for one said I thought we should sign him if Coutinho went over the summer. Everyone downplays his ability because he plays for a lesser club, but he is up there with De Bruyne, Hazard and Coutinho, just won't get compared by most people in the se bracket because of who he plays for.
Its this mentality that actually stops players from smaller clubs playing for England, and the same United, Chelsea, Arsenal, City and now Tottenham players get picked even when they're not playing well.

I read that it might just be spin, to push the price.

SSN reporting that LFC are NOT interested in Mahrez and there has been no contact with Leicester City.
Hopefully we've got bigger fish to fry 👍🏼.

Sounds a load of testicles then all this mahrez gossip but it passed a Saturday night. We will have to see what happens now folks but it's all fun an games at the mo.

Anfield Andy I couldn’t agree more! I think mahrez would thrive under klopp and our system. I see a lot pros in signing him as oppose to cons.

Anfield Andy i think most who downplay his ability do so because of the toxic atmosphere he is widely believed to have been a big part of at that smaller club.
