How can you compete with their spending, it's insane

[danperkins]

Wasn't Pep whinging about not being able to afford certain fees and wages at presser last week? Is he actually for ****ing real with the money he has spent

they have 3 out of the 5 worlds most expensive defenders there. Ridiculous

It's just not fair

How the **** can anyone compete with the consist level of spending. We're coming with 20 odd million net spend every year

[Lecter]

City have had 2 bids rejected according to SSN

SSN also reporting Mahrez has handed in a transfer request

[Buzzo]

I reckon we’ve missed a trick not going straight in for him with our Phil cash.
I’d imagine it will be tricky to get Leicester to part with him 24 hours before he end of the window.

How much do you think he would have cost??

I reckon the Coutinho deal has set a floor to the pricing and selling clubs will bump their ideas upwards

They want £100m if you believe the reports. Knocking back £60m (€68m) definitely shows they are looking for something more. Personally I reckon they will have to get near to €100m (£90m) to get them to blink

[Buzzo]

£75m +

He’s one of the few attacking players with PL experience that would be potentially available.

In this market... I reckon he is worth it.

Might take more than that now

I like him though

[Fosterbloke]

I don't

[danperkins]

He's a quality player but I think at City he will be nothing more than a squad player

£95m was Leicesters price according to SSN which included a player

City had a £65m package which included the unnamed player rejected

[Norbs]

City get right on my tits

[RedReet]

Feel a bit sorry for Mahrez. Won the league for Leicester, should have had his big move ages ago but keeps falling through. A few weeks ago, Leicester would have snapped someones hands off for £50m, but because Mahrez is playing so well for them, he's now being priced out of a move away.

He should threaten to strike and invite a £40m bid from us.

[danperkins]

He is a very talented player that needs a big move to progress. The money City offered is crazy but fair play to Leicester not letting their star player go mid season as they would have never got a replacement as good in this window. I'm sure they will get rid in the summer for just as hefty fee.
