Harry Maguire

[hihosilva]

Where City fall down time and time again is buying players 3rd hand, perhaps it was us who should have taken a punt and bought him from Hull? The timing was wrong though in fairness with the CB's we already had.

Strange how people are sure MDL will be a success over here? Just because Barca are after him doesn't make it a given he will succeed at City-the Dutch League? Its on a par with the Championship, he got exposed v Spurs. Good player that he is but is he worth the £60-£70m muted?

Just don't get this downer on Maguire at all.

You've just contradicted yourself.
You say City seem to buy players 3rd hand & should take a punt on players. Then you say there is no guarantee MDL would be any good in the Premier League & he's not worth £60-70m.
So City shouldnt take a punt on him?

Perhaps you need to tell Pep that.
MDL is no guarantee of the CL either.

Has Pep confirmed he wants him?

Hes not worth £25m. He's a clogger who's so cumbersome and slow. It's such a downgrade going from Kompany/Otamendi to this guy

Assuming we are looking at him, I expect Pip et all have a different view to you, but heck, what do they know eh

Leicester bought Maguire for £10m didn't they?
Big difference taking a punt at £60-70m.

Fucking hell are people seriously discussing this guy if we are talking in the regions of 50 millions or more? We should not spend that much money on this guy. Not more than 30-40. Anything above and that would be elite territory. No way, our scouts should focus on upcoming talents and not fucking Maquire. Or promote Garcia and use Mangala as a backup. Seriously this amount of money is hideous.

Really?

£13.7 mill for Maguire bud, hardly the same thing.

Well of course they do. But he plays as a LCB and isn't at Laportes level. It's just a backwards move especially with Vinny and Otamendi going.

No idea mate, just saying hes a very good player, Id take either MDL or HM tbh, just don't get the downer on Maguire.

HM is plug and play IMO, MDL is a work in progress.

 

[Achillias]

The length left on his contract will dictate the price any club pays for him, hes contracted til 2022 isnt he? Liverpool paid an astronomical fee for a goalkeeper, this is the territory big clubs are now in unfortunately .

Mangala? Jesus wept!

We are not obligated to pay that amount of money. The can ask whatever they want, that doesn't mean we should keep the interest in him.

Jesus wept!

Perhaps Pep can convert him to RCB, hes right footed after all.
