I was excited as the next guy when Raiola announced Miki wanted to join us, but after hearing numerous Dortmund/Bundesliga fan takes, I am weary.

Of course every transfer is risky, and I do think that Miki would succeed in our team at RW, but he is said to be a confidence player who can be plagued by inconsistencies and struggles in big games; Dortmund fans referenced how he opted not to take a penalty in the cup final shoot out.

Having watched most of LC's games last season, I can tell you Mahrez is absolute class. He is younger than Miki and obviously Prem Proven. I get that we don't have CL and LC does, but if we are going to drop 30 million pounds on a player in the last year of his contract, surely we should try and lure Riyad with a boatload of money. I think we at least stand a chance at securing the move.
