IMO Mahrez is a much better player than Lemar...
About the inflation of transfer money, well PSG and both Manchester clubs have more than a hand in this.
The current City are playing astonishing football, but if you see that their net spending over the last few seasons was more than 300 million pounds, than it's very logical that City completely outplayed Spurs (24 million pound net spending in the same period).
Am i jealous? Perhaps...but as a Spurs fan i'm proud that our club tries things a different way...Spurs will win less (no) trophies, but i'm convinced this way of managing a football club is more sustainable in the long run... And look at United, they spent even more, and they play piss poor football...
I'm happy for Liverpool they get that amount of money for Coutinho (imo Liverpool don't really need him, he is a luxury player, more than a very important one... hope they can attract some good players for that amount of money...).
If Spurs don't win the EPL (and they will not, not this season, not next season) i want Liverpool to win it...apart from Spurs this is my favourite top six club.
