Harry Maguire

Going off the general consensus on here maybe I imagined him having a fantastic World Cup, being our best player.

Stones was better at the world cup. Miles better, lead the defence the whole way and shouldered blame for Maguire fucking him on the Mandzukic goal.

Maguire was like Trippier, got all the attention because he came from a smaller club and scored a couple of goals.
 
I assume the willingness of city to sign this player for that price is because we are letting Delph leave. We need to fill our English quota. It's the only reason I think city are willing to pay this transfer fee even though, as you pointed out, we walked away from more exciting players because of the transfer fees
Maybe, but if homegrown is the reason I'd much prefer signing Chilwell for his release and dealing with Zinchenko/Mendy later, replacing Muric/Bravo in the squad with a homegrown keeper, or replacing Danilo in the squad. It doesn't make a ton of sense for me to use a foreign slot on a backup keeper, but we have for years.
 
If this is all true, Txiki and Ferran must despise Raiola.

We could have De Ligt for that money.

Will make Van Dijk look like an absolute bargain.

Maguire ticks the English/Homegrown box?

Plus lets say we get De Ligt, with his agent, in two years time there will be stories of him wanting away etc...
 
Is Harry Fucking Maguire the new Jonny Fucking Evans then?

For a while anyway. Think a few people have to get over the fact that we’re not in for de Ligt. Maybe the reason is Mino, maybe his wage demands, maybe he’s set on Barca.

I think the biggest problem people have with Maguire is he isn’t de Ligt.

I never normally concern myself with transfer fees because it's literally not my concern but anything close to a world record fee for young Frankenstein takes the piss tbh.

You mat be right but DeLigt is a foreign spot, and there are a lot of outstanding youngsters in the French and German leagues cheaper Tah being one that was watched three years ago
 
I rate him a lot higher than some on here. Very good on the ball, likes to bring it out & will give us the power in the air that Vinnie gave us, I don"t think he's as slow as people make out because he looks a big lump. Also he seems like a solid charcater, not a big time Charlie & I think he would fit in perfectly ...
