Harry Maguire

280k a week!!! The death of football

Absolutely no way does he get anywhere near that - not as a basic wage. It's the Daily Mirror FFS!!!!

 

[hcblue95]

I would guess we'd offer him around 150 a week. We don't really need to offer him any other incentive than trophies.

Our 1st choice centre half pairing won’t be on £280,000 a wk between them

 

[Topbins]

He’s right on the cutting edge of mediocre.

Hes not. Generally speaking I don't think Pep does average, certainly not for that money.

 

[bluedanza]

I’m not over-enamoured with this signing happening but it makes sense. We have to have a certain number of homegrown/ British players. I believe we’re best filling this quota with defensive squad members, leaving us free to look globally for players with the most impact going forward.
I know that this logic has influenced and been adopted by lower league academies who focus on producing defenders to sell on e.g. Barnsley.

 

[vincent]

Is it just me, or does anyone else think he's just average

No plenty do. Average player for a team at Our level.

You don't pay 50,60,70 or even 80 mill for a squad member.

So why do you think we want to pay big money for him then ?

 

[Stoned Rose]

If we lose the ball more from his poorer short passing or he drops too deep to cover his lack of pace, we could score less and concede more.

Just playing devils advocate.

Nothing here, against us nonetheless, to suggest his passing is not up to scratch, or he ‘drops deep to cover a lack of pace’.

He’s a very good defender and a better footballer than a lot give him credit for imo.

Stones?

Didn’t one of the hacks write that when we signed walker for £50 mill..

 

[Sir peace frog]

80 Million Pound + 280k per week for Harry Maguire !

what is cityextra, sounds like another bullshit twitter, in fact all of twitter is bullshit, well 99.99% is

 

[TonyM]

£28 and hour with overtime, medical insurance, dental and a turkey at Christmas. We do “Cause for Applause” with a £25 voucher in the club shop too for going above and beyond.

Come on Harry. Who could possibly offer more?

Shit. Forgot to mention the lunch vouchers and bus pass. Don’t be a fool Harry.

Apart from about 5 or 6 nailed on starters, all the other 18 are squad members.

The plenty that do are keyboard managers though

 

[vincent]

So why do you think we want to pay big money for him then ?

No idea and perhaps I will be proved wrong, but I have seen plenty of him and he is decent but not top class for me.

 

[Topbins]

Stones?

Not sure this fella will agree

 

[mosssideblue]

Define squad member, as from the way I see it, they are all squad members and are selected to play on a case by case basis

280k a week!!! The death of football

Nice one, you appear to be the only one who believes this figure

 

[vincent]

Keyboard managers. Do you mean have a different opinion to you/others. If you think he is top class then fair enough, I wouldn’t criticise you for having an opinion. I certainly wouldn’t call you or other keyboard managers.
