To be fair to him his attitude has been first class. He's knuckled down with playing for Leicester, unlike others such as Coutinho and Dembele.
Last season though? Didn't look like he gave a fuck for the majority of the season

I'm sure I read some itk about bank restrictions on the size of deficit we could run in a transfer window. The Walker money has pretty much gone on Sanchez, so as I've seen Leicester have turned down £32m as they're asking £50m, he's beyond us unless we do actually sell some of the 'family silver'.

No. Mahrez is a one season wonder type. Wouldn't pay more than £15m for him as a squad filler. We could sign that Swansea bloke that no one can remember as well...Chico? Michu?

This season and the big CL games last season really separate him from Michu...a nothing comparison

He's got long contract left, they've turned down £30m+ from Roma. He's at least £50m in this market when Siggy went for £45m. Not a hope in hell of Levy paying that.

Questionable attitude anyway, despite the talent.

Not a Poch.player imo.

What are you basing this on? One quote from slimani about him being late?

It's just not true and I can't fathom, beyond lazy stereotyping, why people are saying he has a questionable attitude.

Wise up Larry, he even took.the piss out of Spurs last season, yet you still crave any signing. Is there anyone you wouldn't sign, jesus

We need a forward, he is a forward. I don't want us to sign anyone there but he would 100% improve us.

My best mate is a Leicester fan so I've probably watched 40 games of theirs over the last two years (stopped for a period towards the end of the 2016 season to keep our friendship intact) and he is better than pretty much all attackers we've been linked with.

I'm certain you'd prefer Balde because you're in that group who love exotic signings to proven prem quality (the group who preferred Mussacio and Bender over Toby and Wanyama) and that approach has been shown, conclusively, to be the wrong approach.

If he was available for £40-50m, that would be an absolute bargain and I am certain he score an assist 20-30 for us.

Totally agree. Would much prefer Mahrez over Martial, and I like Martial

Yeah, I just don't get it. Such an odd approach from people, i'd understand if people preferred others but it's the level of hostility and claims that he's shite that leave me perplexed

He's class when he is interested and I think he would be plenty motivated if playing for us.

We had a last minute deadline day spunking of a lot of cash on Sissoko which a lot were sceptical about even at the time. I can't say I'd be disappointed if we moved late for this guy for a lot of money too if none of our other targets are attainable.
