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

Absolutely, and it’s not only FFP. City have earned a reputation of paying only what they think represents value... in recent years where clubs or agents have tried to take the piss we have walked away see Fred and Sanchez. I think Leicester are taking the piss with this valuation. If we pay it - we will regret it over and over again when we move for other players. The art of negotiation is setting limits and sticking to them. Maguire is an okay player and I would object to us signing him but he’s not an exceptional talent and he shouldn’t be costing north of 50m. It’s worth remembering that we have Stones, Otamendi and Laporte plus Fern - so whilst a new CB might be nice we don’t have Phil the Face and Smalling as regular starters... maybe that’s why the Rags will contemplate spending £90m... we don’t need to.

I was very pissed off about Sanchez at the time, but seriously relieved at a bullet dodged now! Never wanted Fred, he's about 5ft 2 and I'd never heard of him til we were linked.

Hopefully if they get Maguire he turns out as shit as Sanchez.

He won't,because he still has incredible desire and ambition and no fitness issues.

He will be a brilliant signing for them.

Your right. He will strengthen any of the top 6. I could live with him going to Chelsea or Spurs something like that. But if he goes to Utd he can only strengthen them.
 
He's not worth more than 45m. He's no better than Nathan Ake or Issa Diop.

Time to move on now, turn our attentions to better defenders for a better price.

Any half decent defender could improve United, but he wouldn't improve us. Let United have him.
 
Outiside of Maguire and Toby at Spurs it's looking like we may struggle for the cb we need for a 60-70 game season. Fair enough quite a few fans don't fancy Maguire.

However, there is a distinct lack of alternatives being mentioned that may be available around that magical 50 Mill plus that many would find acceptable.
