As much as I like mahrez I just can't see us signing both Barkley and mahrez unfortunately. Because I do rate mahrez as a difference maker and a affordable one also.
Mahrez is far more likely to help us win the title than Barkley. He is fit and wants a transfer. Mahrez showed yesterday for Leicester that he can wreak havoc when given space. He also is one of the best in the league at whipping in crosses from set pieces. We waste SO many corners and free kicks that adding him would likely result in an uptick on chances on goal from just dead ball situations.
£50m is affordable now?
Roma were bidding around £32M. I think somewhere in the £35-40M region might get him. I can still see this happening late in the window if other targets don't happen, and I think it would be a good move for us if it did.I'll be surprised if he's sold for that much.

Whoever else we sign, we really need these qualities in the squadAgreed. He'd be a fantastic signing IMO. Would totally transform our attacking options. For example yesterday Chelsea were marking Eriksen and thereby nullifying our only source of creativity. With Mahrez we'd have someone who could dribble/ run at defenders and open up space for others.
Yeah we need a wildcard on the wing. Would've wanted Douglas Costa in our team.Whoever else we sign, we really need these qualities in the squad
I think, if nothing moves with Martial we'll be in for Mahrez again - probably last few days.
If Siggy went for £45m,, I suspect Mahrez wont be any lessI'll be surprised if he's sold for that much.
