    Neither had Leighton Baines, Cesar Azpilicueta, Branislav Ivanovic, Gary Cahill, Nacho Monreal and the Champiomship

    They all have now.

    You mention Monreal, I wasn't that impressed with Mahrez against Arsenal, granted I only watched the first half. I think Albrighton looks a more rouned player.

    I've not seen much of Albrighton yet since his villa days but my instinct (which could and might be completely wrong) is that if Albrighton is given the ball in the right position he will have a good cross but Mahrez can find his way from one box to the other in seconds

    Nooooooooooo ... you are so so wrong you should think about supporting Hull ... oh ....

    Albrighton is a good PL pro ...
    Mahrez even now could be sold for 3 X Albrighton's worth ... he has waltzed past the defences of Everton, Chelsea and Arsenal ... his little cameo in the second half against Arsenal (which, fair play, you admit you didn't see) when he took the ball off Alexis Sanchez in our half before then doing him twice as he tried to get it back then left him for dead for pace is one of the highlights of our season so far ...

    For your delectation https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F667Z--HMWc and keep in mind that we have only had him for half a season ... he is now doing to EPL defences what he did to the Championship ones last season ...

    I agree. Albrighton will become known as the best crosser at the club, whereas Mahrez prefers to do it all himself. Different players, which is what you want - variety.

    Don't forget the cross Mahrez put in for Wes' goal against Blackpool last season ... he's still young and will get better in his decision making ... but he has fabulous attributes ... he's right up there with the very best 'travellers' with the ball in the Prem... which is what makes him very exciting to watch .. the difference is that there won't be may neutrals that want to watch our games to see Albrighton ... I suspect that many will want to see Mahrez ...

    Knockaert done a simaliar cross for King at Forest

    Knockaert is inconsistent with his crossing put he is more then capable of putting in quality crosses

    How did Hull get relegated when they signed one of the best players in the Premier League last summer!?

    Truly boggles my mind!

    The reason they got relegated was because the rest of the teams had so much luck and poor old hull didn't get any boo HOO

    I'm no expert, but I suspect that him barely playing for us before buggering off back to France might have had a bearing.

    He's obviously not ****, he's a very talented player, unfortunately he's also a complete ****er.

    He is ****, full of tricks and no end product. What he has ever really achieved in England? **** all

    But I'm sure the rest of your brilliant signings like Gaston Ramierez, £10M man Abel Hernandez, Tom Ince, Jake "Crackpot" Livermore, Robert Snodgrass and Mo Diame will have kept you up.

    Snodgrass and Diame have been injured all season, if they hadn't been, we probably wouldn't be down.

    Such is life.
