Some people are getting too carried away with the price. They’re shit and have nothing to offer, of course they’re going to have to pay over the odds for decent players. they can afford it which is the only consideration now with fees and he’s comfortably better than anything they currently have so that makes it a good signing for them. In years gone by Harry Maguire would have been an under the radar squad signing but now he’s a bit of a coup for them which says everything you need to know about their standing in football. Fortunately, they need another 10 signings of a similar quality just to be comfortable getting top 4.
 
Is Maguire an upgrade on what they have? Just about. Is he enough of an upgrade to lead them back into the top four and then win a title with them in 2-3 years? Fuck no. And £80m is a lot to spend on a player who is more of a risk than most.
 
We still need a CB. Is the homegrown reason that we went for maguire?
As it stands we need homegrown. What that means for Otamendi is the thing. We cant go non homegrown if we plan to keep him. On the other hand if we buy and that makes him want to leave, we could end up limiting ourselves to homegrown when we don’t have to because Otamendi goes. Bit of a catch 22.
