Harry Maguire

[Roger The Shrubber]

It doesn't matter how much it will cost to sign Maguire. It's not your money and it's definitely not mine. Do not underestimate the effect of Vinny not being around.

It matters a lot,we still have to comply with FFP while targeting other signings.

City will smash FFP this year so I'm not concerned about the extra few million for Maguire.

Usual media bollocks trying to send him to the rag shit, as usual. If he does go there no doubt he'll be hailed as the best English defender since Bobby Moore and worth every penny of the £85m.

Either he's good enough for us or he isn't. Cost shouldn't come into it, if those twats can pay £85-£90m so can we. If he's not good enough for us then he's not worth whatever we'd pay, find someone else.

What we don't want is for Pep to really want him but we baulk at the fee. It makes us look smalltime and sends the wrong message to other players (unambitious, relatively low payers), media (smaller club than rags/scousers) and rival clubs (pay £5m more in a bidding war and they'll see us off).

If Pep wants him, negotiate with Leicester if it's just us really after him, or pay £1m more than rags offer them. We should NEVER be bullied/gazumped by that bunch of shit bastards at Trafford.

Totally disagree and in fact, would say its the opposite

FFP the catch all rationale as to why we don't make certain signings. Net spend used to do the trick.

If we are getting Rodri, then IF it's not actually true that Otamendi is leaving, would we not assume that we have enough cover at cb anyhow, with Fern (Walker) Sandler, Garcia, Harwood Bellis maybe even Rodri himself ?

I would have thought Maguire etc are only on the radar if Otta is leaving.

Signing Rodri means Fernandinho can drop back there in any game if needed.

Fernandinho is a brilliant midfielder and probably the second best DM on the planet after Kante, but in my opinion he's neither tall enough or strong enough to play as a centre back in the PL. Most teams have a giant striker like Deeney, Lukaku, Higuain, even that old guy at Brighton whose name I can't remember right now, we need someone to stand on a few toes at corners and out jump the big donkeys who might manage to get a fat head on the end of a corner.

So your annoyed the Rags beat us to Alexis Sanchez and Fred ?

I definitely don't want to overspend on Maguire but have you actually seen anything to suggest we're even close to breaching FFP? There's little evidence I've seen to support that.
