What’s that, a Double Dog Dare?!!! ;-)Ok which English centre back is better?
Go on
Err, we already own him!
And, I have to laugh because the whole notion of “English center back” conjures up the notion of a donkey like Maguire!
I’d rather play Fernandinho at CB than Maguire. Maguire is valuable on set pieces, but is very vulnerable on the ground. And, he looks so far from a Pep player that it’s not even funny.
Again, I think it’s paper talk. If we wouldn’t pay £75M for VVD, then it begs credulity that we would be interested in a Maguire for anything even remotely close to that!
We’ve got two young up and comers, three established internationals, and a Brazilian who can play anywhere in a pinch. If we add this other young Brazilian we seem interested in to the mix for pennies on the Maguire dollar, then job done and the CB position should be sorted for years to come.
Maguire is not the answer for City. IMHO, he is typical English mediocrity hyped to the heavens simply because he’s English!
Maguire or Laporte? And Laporte can’t even get a game in his national team!
