This is pretty exciting. I'll be stoked if we get Mahrez. Chelsea do appear to be a threat, there was that rumour going around of Adidas Mahrez kits going on sale accidentally at an online vendor.
No, it was just a case of someone doing a screenshot of the 'kit builder' type of thing on Adidas website. Utter bollocks in other words, but didnt stop the worst click bait sites to run the story.
Ah, good to hear, because that means … it's on! #ItsOn #MaximusDecimus #Legend #ForeverFaster
Stories like that are always bollocks. As if the Chelsea hierarchy are going to keep Adidas informed, who will then filter that information through to all their outlets as if they need to be kept on standby or something.
We were heavily linked last summer, so our interest is not surprising, especially on the back of the season he had. We should have just pushed and bought him. We would have won the title.
I doubt we will pay what it will take though.
Im quite sure we're willing to pay €50m for him.
LOL. You guys are on the verge of dancing on the basis of absolutely nothing. Craziness
Yeah, lot of smoke in here from a tiny flame.
Well, Eurosport FR and some apparently decently connected journos are not "absolutely nothing". But of course, nothing big from english press so far - which i even find kind of weird. They could surely see this as a good click bait.

TBF we really are looking at ANY news as good news. We are that desperate.

😆 I agree, but I won't believe anything until Wenger has got a player by the scruff of the neck on the pitch for a photo shoot.

I can certainly see kit-makers having some kind of speculative "kit creator" that can pick up on rumours—maybe even flirt with them a bit as a viral marketing tool. However, that's not what happened here. 🙂
a few sources from his homeland reckon we have terms agreed with him
Messi Minutes According to Algerian paper LeButeur_Foot], Riyad Mahrez is very, very close to joining Arsenal for €44m (£37.1m).

that's sayinng an english journalist close to arsenal is reporting that. i never trust stories that use english journos as sources.
Do not believe. Believing is the first step on the stairs of disappointment.
As much as I hope it will happen, I'm not holding my breath.
Mahrez, Lacazette and a warm body in defense would wrap up an excellent summer.

looks like theres 2 separate sources reporting it though. one is dodgy (lebuteur) the other is allegedly reliable (el heddaf)
Also, don't stress yourselves out. United flew out to complete the Pogba signing last Thursday. Has to be the longest flight in history
The Algerian papers are quoting the English sources.
