I can’t fathom how we could consider breaking the transfer record for a defender who is no better than our third choice CB.

We are not going to pay that kind of money for him.

If he wasn't English. We'd have abandoned him a long time ago. When Rodri signs, we don't have space for a foreign CB unless Otamendi leaves.
While Delph leaving would free a HG spot.

You talk as if you know we are in for him. I remain unconvinced by reports that one week state a deal has been done at £65m with a medical in the pipeline, and then the next week the fee is £100m. If it sounds phoney, it probably is.If he wasn't English. We'd have abandoned him a long time ago. When Rodri signs, we don't have space for a foreign CB unless Otamendi leaves.

the 100m sounds to be about right, that's what the Leicester journos were saying a week ago. I say we sell Otamendi, and bring in Hermoso, or ruben dias

I think it highly likely that Delph will leave. If Angelino arrives he will be fourth choice left back. In terms of midfield he will probably fall behind both Foden andYou talk as if you know we are in for him.

Zinchenko and is very unlikely to make the bench never mind the team. It is very hard to see how he can get a game even in the early rounds of cups he may not get a game.
Everyone should watch Jonathan Tah tonight in the Germany u21.
He's bigger, faster, 3 years younger and has more top flight experience + much more European experience than Maguire, and would probably cost £40-50m. For my money he's a much better passer and just as capable of bringing the ball out from the back.

After last season, I think Delph may go. I agree about Angelino too. Hard to see a role for him, unless we have doubts about Mendy's recovery.I think it highly likely that Delph will leave.

If Danilo leaves, I’d prefer to see us move for Leicester’s right back.
Same here. Best RB in the league in my opinion. Rather him than Cancelo but Leicester aren't going to sell cheaply and we don't seem to have any interest.

that's not what you said though. You said "at that price, he isn't good enough" - price doesn't decide a players suitability is my pointI can’t fathom how we could consider breaking the transfer record for a defender who is no better than our third choice CB.
No club, not even United will pay £100mill for Maguire.
City won’t. United won’t, after their dreadful recent signings, and massive wage bill rise. Liverpool don‘t need him. Arsenal and Spurs won’t spend that amount of money on a player. Chelsea’s have a transfer ban. So Maguire has 2 options. To stay at Leicester, carry on playing for them, and run his contract down. Or he and his agent try and instigate a move. But I don’t think he is the type of player to do that to Leicester. But if something doesn’t happen, he will play out his best years at Leicester, and the miss a final chance to play for a club that wins trophies, and playing in the CL will also pass him by.

It shouldn't but with FFP and the politics surrounding City it probably does.that's not what you said though. You said "at that price, he isn't good enough" - price doesn't decide a players suitability is my point
Last week it was £65m. Now it's £100m. The media don't set the price. LCFC do. However there also needs to be a bidder. I don't think there's any evidence that City are in the market for a central defender, and if we were in for a central defender, surely we'd have some believable evidence by now. i.e.SSN understands that MCFC have made a bid of X, or LCFC have turned down a bid of X, and the player is not for sale etc. There's been nothing like that, just outlandish claims from nowhere.No club, not even United will pay £100mill for Maguire.

Sorry Marv, but that is just barmy.
Forget any cost is the guy good enough or not?

How's Maguire gone from £60 million to £100 million in the space of 4 days.
I'd rather stick with Mangala.

What? The one thing anyone with sources at the club can agree on this summer is that we're in for a central defender, and specifically in for Maguire. From Sam Lee and Mullock all the way down the line to Tolmie. You must not have been looking very hard.

That may or may not be the correct answer, but some seem to be able only to come to that conclusion because of the fee

We'll reach an agreement at 75m plus add ons I reckon. The Mahrez deal was a saga, I expect this to be exactly the same.
