Me too, dont think Maguire is anything special. A decent Cb, but there are many who are better.In hindsight I’d expect he is relieved

Shame we were not looking in the summerIts natural that Pep will deny it publicly. Doesent mean things are not happening in the background though. According to Sam Lee, City are looking for a CB for january. I believe he is right, as Pep was angry that City didnt get Maguire. Either gonna be a homegrown player or we manage to offload Otamendi i guess. A shame that Ruben Dias signed a new contract, as he had a 56 million £ release clause.
It would be very naive to advertise to the world he's looking to sign players in January.
The CL KO stages start again on 18–19 & 25–26 February 2020. The defence will be last season's defence by that time, in fact it should be stronger as we will have Cancelo (I assume Laporte will be back by then, and there are no more injuries).I already posted this on the Burnley prematch thread before I saw this thread.
A bit off topic but I’ve just read the article on the BBC where Pep says there will be no new players in January and Fern stays at centre back.
This is the kind of stubbornness that costs titles and cups and loses Managers their jobs (ok maybe not Pep but ordinary Managers). Surely I am not the only one who can see we are not a patch on the team of last season and desperately need a little strengthening. The league may be out of reach for us but we are still in three competitions although there does seem to be a consensus on here that we are not winning the Champions League with that defence.
People always say this but it never makes any sense. The agents and players involved will all know already, the clubs aren't going to change their stances based on an approach coming after Pep says he's not buying.
Lots of good centre halves who are not involved in champions league, vvd when at Celtic not in champions league for long, I am sure a club could have got him in the January if they wanted to, we clearly need to strengthen at the back we are a fucking joke, teams are having 1 shot 1 goal, 2 shots 2 goals, anyhow shouldn't have been left until January, pep knew Vinny was off in the summer and should have done it then, but he thought he would be a smart arse and play Dinho as centre half, but has international centre halfs sat on the bench, so if he doesn't trust them they shouldn't be at the club simple as that
