Our club has the incredible pulling power of having Pep Guardiola as our manager for only a couple more years. It would be a huge missed opportunity if we wasted it signing mediocre, overpriced English players like Chilwell and Maguire.
.....and Maddison....
 
Waste of money.

We already have Laporte, Stones, Tosin, Sandler, Eric Garcia, maybe Otamendi, Fernandinho or any full back to fill in there when needed.

I suspect Otto will be on his way in the coming weeks, that would only leave us with Stones and LaPorte as experienced centre halves.
If we land him i suspect we will have a completely different opinion of him this time next year.

Think he'll stay now that Komps has left.
 
Put it this way.

Maguire and the other Leicester defenders nearly stopped City from scoring at home. And if it wasn’t for a Worldie from Vinny, City would have drawn that game. And Maguire was part of the team that beat us at Leicester. Maguire nearly cost us the title.

I for one would be very happy if we signed him. An experienced English centre half, who knows the PL inside out, who would be a great partner for either La Porte or Stones.

I agree entirely. Similar criticisms with regards to price etc we're made about Sterling and Walker and or even Stones when we first signed them. A few years on those signings don't seem to have worked out to badly. I would be pleased if we signed him. Experienced, Prem league winner and despite concerns about his pace which I feel are overplayed he would fit well with City. Watch him have a stinker against the Dutch now.
 
Obviously not worth judging a player on a half of football, but Maguire has been fucking awful versus the Netherlands. The disparity between him and VVD/De Ligt is huge

I still think we’d have beaten Leicester without Vinny’s goal but we’ll never know. Ironically Maguire didn’t even know it had gone in!
I think he’s a decent player my only problem with all these Leicester players is we’ll get fleeced by a club that don’t have to sell. They’ve now got a decent manager who will be reluctant to sell their better players.
 
What the fuck do I know
I think DeLigt has looked worse. A bit rash at times.Has a look of David Luis about him and not in a good way in terms of how he's tries to be first to balls that aren't on.
 
Don't know why anyone gets hung up about the price. Soriano and Khaldoon will decide if we can afford it and if they think he’s value. Pep and Txiki will decide if they want him and think he’s what we need. Price isn't our problem only how he performs if we buy him.
 
I don’t think we’d spend more than £60m. He’s a decent player and I think he’d jump at joining us, but I see his real value at around the £50m mark. Any more than £60m and we should switch to targeting Koulibaly.

Yes, we should be able to get a good deal from Napoli....

Yep, wrote the first message after De Ligt had been on that run down the wing and Maguire pinged that free kick out for a goal kick. Looks like I jinxed both the fuckers.

Not really been a great show for either of them. Or Stones.

To be fair a lot of these players haven't played for 4 weeks , some like Stones even longer.
