Within a minute of signing this lump the media who tell us how good he is will be telling us how good VVD is and what a fantastic bargain liverpool got. Tah the lad at Red Bull and St Etienne are all better long term targets, and who ever we sign for backup to Laporte is going to have a very long wait between games, £ 75 million plus for a reserve ?????

Let's hope the interest is fake, and City are just 'selling' Maguire to the Rags, like in Bruno's case. Manolas+St Etienne kid is arguably a better combination for less money.
 
Committing errors here and there isn't a problem, the problem is HM has zero recovery pace to fix them. Maguire defending on the half-way line is a frightening prospect.
And therein lies the problem. He a decent centre back, comfortable on the ball and quite good in the air. The thing is he is as slow as molasses and he does like to go wandering up the pitch. In our set up, where the centre backs are encouraged to play out to the half way line I can see him consistently getting caught of position. If we are just going to replace Otamendi with another version of Otamendi why not just keep the original.

Even with transfer inflation there is now way Maguire is worth the money being mentioned. Bang average at best. Perfect for the Rags but not good enough for us.
 
I'm sure this interest in Maguire and some others is just a smokescreen and our targets will be signed sealed and delivered very shortly and the rags will once again pay over the odds for ones we never had any intention of signing ala Fred hahaha
 
I hope he comes. We don't need Ben Johnson in defence. If he ends up proving so many wrong like Sterling, has, City will benefit.
 
I really don't get this at all. There has been so much noise about this transfer and it honestly just seems so so ridiculous to me that we would even consider paying close to 80 million for him. He's a quality player don't get me wrong and would be a great addition but anything more than 40 is an absolute rip off.
 
I don't think City have back ups or reserves. Any one of the CB of the last two seasonsbwould walk into any of the top six as regular starters. The mentality of are CBS is that they all see themselves as starters which has enabled City defend the Prem with little or no drop off when Peps rotated. The kind and quality of player we need in those CB positions aren't the kind or quality who will sit on the bench knowing their number 2. The four CBS weve had this last two seasons have known any dip from their teammate and there in. Once we start thinking in terms of back up or reserves for certain positions prepared to sit on the bench, the quality drops. Michael Keane will be back up for Stones and Ben Mee or Tarwoski for Laporte.
 
We wont be paying anything in excess of £70M if indeed that.We will look elsewhere before we even considering him.
I was talking about Sergio Ramos I've always liked him. I hope we don't pay the asking price for Maguire i'm a bit meh with him.

I hope this is just a tactic to get the rags to massively overspend and so prevent them from racing us for our actual targets...

Anyone worth their salt will laugh at United and sign for us. Like Bernardo. They will beat us to geniuses like Alexis and Fred.
 
These wankers on SSN have it on loop at the moment that we are going head to head with the scum for him. When will they learn that we don’t go head to head with anyone anymore? We set a price and wages that we believe is fair value then it’s up to the player whether he wants to improve his game under the best manager in the game or join the paperboy and have a career nosedive.
