Whether VVD is worth the money or not remains to be seen. But no way is Mahrez a £100 mill player. Nobody will pay it. Guaranteed.
Average The guys a Rolls Royce of a defender. Most importantly for us he's vocal and an organiser. Definite captain material for the future... Shame until we buy a GK he won't make a major difference.
VVD isn't worth 75mil and never will be. But football is broken and the money means nothing nowadays, unfortunately.
Yeah that's just taking things to an even crazier level... in about 5 years VVD could look like a bargain. Scary how quick the financial side of things are moving. I hate the way it's going. People like me are getting priced out of the sport I grew up with. Next season I might get a season ticket for Weymouth FC, just for some regular live footy.
The reality is that if Mahrez was at any of the top 6 and had achieved what he has with us in terms of goals and assists in the last 3 seasons then, taking his age into account, and that he still has 3 years of a current contract to run, nobody would be questioning a fee of circa £70 million in the current market. I'm hoping he stays with us for another season or two because he is pure class and a joy to watch ... but realistically he may move in the summer ... but not on the cheap
Not defensive at all ... how much would you sell Salah for? ... he's not achieved as much as Mahrez and is just a year younger ... oh but wait ... I forgot .... now he's at Liverpool he's wuuuuurrrrrld class
Now this I agree with ... and that's my point - there are very few players in the world that can do what Riyad Mahrez can ... and more importantly has ... and at an unfancied club ... which, for me, makes what he has done all the more remarkable ... Mahrez, like Vardy, scores against the top 6 and consistently ... Lukaku doesn't ... yet he's apparently worth £75 million ... ... as I said ... the transfer market is as much about who you play for as how good you might be ....
I can’t really take your post seriously when you say coming from Leicester (that’s how it’s spelt by the way). If you judge a players value by the club he comes from not his actual ability or what he’s achieved it’s a good job your not involved in a football club
I wouldn't, but you can bet if say barca wanted him from us he'd be 150m, if he played for you that goes down to maybe 70m Just facts
Obviously not got a proper response have you then. I don’t disagree with the immediate post above the one I’m quoting to fosse on Salah that that’s how it is but that doesn’t make it right. Purely in terms of market value (not what they might be with to Liverpool) Mahrez is worth a hell of a lot more than Mahrez. How you lot can be deluded enough to think VVD can cost £75 mill but Leicester should take a penny less for Mahrez is laughable Edit unless you meant probably better I don’t take you seriously and it went over my head in which case my bad
who says. some people paid 89 million for a haircut and i see Mahrez is trying to emulate that (haircut) Likewise, whoever is in charge with the chelsea transfer policy might decide to go a bit wild
