lets see how you do without drinkwater, if you lose mahrez in january or next season you are doomed.
Drinkwater was doggo last season, not as much of a loss as you'd think. James, now that he's finally fit again, should more than cover for him. And we've got iborra in who is currently injured, but a tidy player. And we should have had Silva in, but having to wait til January by the look of it because we suck at paperwork.
We should be alright in the centre though hopefully.
Mahrez is another story, but he wasn't exactly lightning last year either. Plus, if noone pays the asking price, he doesn't get sold, we've proved that much this summer after knocking Roma's bids back. So hopefully either gray can step up like he keeps saying he can, or we reinvest the £50mill~ asking price for mahrez into a suitable replacement.
In the end, losing Kanté was a bigger loss than Mahrez and drinkwater combined. One of a kind midfielder. Yet we survived without him.
