Well, if all you say is true, you will have no fears as we wouldn't touch him with a barge pole, would we?My biggest problem with Maguire is that he's so unbelievably average that I can't understand how he'd seemingly improve this team. I'm not arsed whether he costs £50m or £100m, it's that he doesn't improve this squad or our starting XI.
I see him as someone who's slow on the turn, isn't actually that great on the ball, and has had his lack of speed highlighted by Pep as a weakness.
I'd much rather us just keep Otamendi who's a much better player than Maguire.

sounds like you should run our transfer businessWell I was also massively hesitant about the signing of Mahrez as were many on here. I think we can do much much better than Maguire.
My main concern with Maguire is that he has shone for Leicester playing on the left. Laporte is our best centre back. So Maguire would get most of his minutes, you would assume, on the right. Is he as good there? I don't know.
He's also a slow fucker which in our high line, isn't ideal, especially with full backs bombing on.
But if Pep wants him, which I'm led to believe he does, then he will have this all figured out I'm sure.
AGREEDGot a feeling Stones and Maguire will largely compete for the right sided CB slot... Laporte has the left side bolted down. As you say Stones needs to step up... ideally he needs to come back to pre season like Bernardo did last year and set his stall out and make Pep pick him.
That begs the question of who?Well I was also massively hesitant about the signing of Mahrez as were many on here. I think we can do much much better than Maguire.
Disagree, Otamendi's best years are behind him imo, too slow and against top class forwards eg Mane is reckless in the tackle. I think Maguire is a better player and whilst not particularly fast has more pace than Otamendi and does not dive in to tackles.My biggest problem with Maguire is that he's so unbelievably average that I can't understand how he'd seemingly improve this team.
