Hugh Jass Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 1 hour ago, JOSHBRFC said: Nothing on Kante. Well Mahrez was 14 times cheaper than Kante for Leicester (£400,000 vs. £5.6 million). And his contribution wasn't just in the title winning season in 2015/2016 like Kante's, but also in the promotion season in 2013/2014, the great escape in 2014/2015 and in the Champions League adventure this season. So I would say that Mahrez is both the bigger Leicester legend and the bigger bargain. Signing a flair player who created and scored so many goals and got the fans on the edge of their seats for that cheap was just an insanely good piece of business.

One of the best deals we'll ever make. I could tell after about five games we'd signed a gem although even then I'd have been wowed if you told me what he would go onto do for us. He hasn't had a great year but some of our fans saying good riddance are embarrassing. They'll eat their words next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Gonzo Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 Does anyone else rate him much less after last season? I think he's somewhere in between as good as he was when Leicester won the title and as bad as he was last season. Has he been linked anywhere specifically other than Monaco (I think he'd do quite well in the French league tbh). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gone a bit quiet now as expected because he's on international duty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing the Brazilian has ahead of Mahrez is his motor but on football quality not a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirBalon Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Just now, Cicero said: I love Pedrito, but if Mahrez were to regain his form from 2016, he'd be a shoe in. I like Mahrez a lot and I stated how much in the day on the other forum that season... For me he had earned a top three in the Ballon d'Or for that year... But Pedro has been doing it for years! He's faster, more dynamic, ambidextrous, scores goals, makes goals and his enthusiasm is contagious. I would swap Pedro for Mahrez without even thinking about it and he's a major reason as to why you won the Premier League this season. Remember that many players in that Leicester side looked like world beaters two seasons ago! Where do you rate each individual one now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vardy was sensational at times that season. Would I want him? Nope. Morgan etc looked like brick wall CB's, but they aren't really. It was a freak season from Leicester and their players went on a freak purple patch, every one of them. Im not dissing Leicester btw because it was brilliant but if you think their POTY is a better option than Pedro then you are off your nut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How am I 'off my nut' when I briefly spoke of the possibility of Mahrez regaining that tremendous form? Surely there would be some case to be ahead in the pecking order if such thing happened.
