What’s that, a Double Dog Dare?!!! ;-)

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!

I’m not sure where you get off telling me what I think about all and sundry, but your Maguire-Love is making you say stupid things.

P.S. The way you write (accusatory, no punctuation, and your use of contractions) makes you sound about 16.
P.P.S. Don’t make bets you can’t keep!
 
Maguire did not seem that vulnerable pace wise the year Leicister wing the league and that top six got shown their arses.

I'm fact I don't recall Maguire pace being called out at all within the media, pundits etc.

He also did not look to short of pace against us a few weeks ago when he went on the run down are left skipping pass two or three players. Stones is no speedster, neither is otto or Vinny.
 
He also seemed to keep Aguero and the others very quiet that night yet there's question marks about his pace apparently because he doesn't look like Brad Pitt.

Pep seemed to think he lacked pace when discussing the Leicester game. And, I’d hardly call one run down the wing against a knackered Gundogan an example of pace. And, in case you didn’t notice, he fell to the floor out of exhaustion when he passed the ball!

Not convinced, and not going to be convinced! He looks like a Ford Transit Van, when we are looking for Bentley’s and Rolls’ to add to the stable!

Not sure that Maguire was with Leicester when they won the league. As I recall, it was Huth and Morgan were their CB's. COuld be wrong though.

And the City execs who talked about his price on camera? What was their sentiment?! Did they think £75M was good value?

Seriously, does ANYONE think we should be shelling out 125-150% of our current record transfer fee on Maguire?? Seriously??

It’s a fucking joke!!!

Peps might even think that, Still prepared to shed out over 70 mill for him though, allegedly.
I was right behind him in the second half all game. We could not get near him. But that's your opinion fair enough.

Your right. Sorry. For some reason I thought he had been there years.

Yeah and we signed Vinny because he looks like Will Smith, Aguero was signed because he looks like Tom Cruise and David Silva looks like the teenage star in a boy band.

Who has said a thing about his personal looks? It is about how he looks as a player, not a movie star!!!

Constant references in this thread about him being a slab head. Constant. Which I agree should not be or form part of a debate m/discussion about whether he's good enough or not.

My reference to that term has nothing to do with looks and everything to do with the fact that to a hammer, everything looks like a na!!

The only thing he has going for him over many others, in my book, is his heading ability. Hence, slabhead!

McGuire is nowhere near the standard of any of our current crop. He's only that price because City are interested.

We bid £18M for Johnny Evans, who eventually went to Liecester for £3.5M just a year later. McGuire is just another Johnny f*cking Evans.

I disagree but I hold a similar view to Pogba, I can't have him and nothing and no one can ever convince me that he's in the same bracket as de bruyne. I can only go with what I saw several weeks a go. A motivated well rehearsed City team, who if they were targeting him, could not lay a glove on him. His distribution was excellent and he was constantly talking to those around him.
I ll give u one more that will probably send you over the edge Johnny Evans was great that night too. I watched him because I could not understand why City courted him a while back. I must have got him on a good night. He was excellent against us very good on the ball and quick.

Someone a few pages back called him an ugly fucker and said he has an image problem. Probably one of the most stupid things I've read on here in a while.
 
Maguire is a good defender, excellent in the air and seems quite confident taking the ball out of defence. But pace is an issue I would not be devastated if he signed, but he is not worth £90m Alderwield at £25m (buy clause) would be a better option and then gradually phase in Sandler or Garcia.
