Sure he has a good eye for the through ball and he can dribble well. But in regard to thinking if he deserves a move to a big club? I don't know, just need to see more from him. Let's give him the whole season and see if, a) he can keep this up || b) maybe even improve.

Why are you doubting your african brother :coffee:

I've seen many six month/one season wonders, but when your heroics result in your team leading the league, you're legit IMO.

Yeah but mahrez was good last season too.

His problems were
1. His strength
2. His decision making
3. Selfishness

He's lost all those weaknesses. He's actually pretty strong now.. still remember when he floored cahill Laughing

And to add to that, he plays good defense and he's just improved everywhere.

Nah, when you combine his age and the fact he's on a five-year contract and that West Ham won't sell for less than £40m, I reckon, I think the outcome is that he's staying at West Ham.
