Harry Maguire

Michel Vonk would improve them tremendously.

6ft2 eyes are blue Michel von is after you haha I thought he was a sound player.

People keep saying this about DeLigt but signing him would be a bigger gamble than Maguire. We already know Maguire can perform in the premier league. It’s something de Ligt would need to prove.

I guess we would agree to disagree then. PL proven is nice but I like to take a look at the bigger picture. Its like saying let sign vardy instead of mbappe since the former is PL proven. That's not to say maguire is a bad player. But at that price it's insane.

Of course Pep is going to make mistakes - he's only human

LIES! Wash your filthy mouth out.

Totally agree, I'm sure he gives input into the process and will come in if needed but I get the sense Pep leaves it mostly to Txiki & Co. Maguire seems much more likely to be driven by the need for homegrown players in the squad, with Pep's approval, rather than being a Pep driven signing.

Just in general, the idea of our transfer strategy being beyond reproach since we've been so good over the last few years is a little silly to me. Obviously I'm loving it but we've made mistakes even in this period. Everyone agrees that we were in for Jorginho, Alexis, Alves, and Fred at one point and now most agree that we've dodged a bullet by not signing them. Nolito and Bravo were signings that we did make that didn't work out for one reason or another. Mistakes happen and theres always room to improve.

Jorginho, Alexis, Alves, and Fred may all have been brilliant under Pep. We just don't know.

Dunne was decent and I'm not going to badmouth a player that was decent for the level the team were at the time. By not 'turning out to be half-bad' I assume you are referring to his EPL records for the most sending off and most own goals? Both of which still stand today.

He is a club legend he got those records cause he gave 100% for every second he was wearing the shirt. He also holds the record as winning our player of the year the most times he got that for the same reason.

He offers something different. Otamendi rumoured to be waiting for green light to go and Kompany already gone. So Stones, Maguire and Laporte might be sharing duties and Pep counting on Garcia, Walker(esp if Cancelo rumours true) and Fernandinho to cover for injuries/suspensions. Sounds feasible. Chilwell looks off the table. Mendy is working hard, and Zin looks ready to go again. Delph must be close to exit. Angelino might be added too.

Bar maybe Kane and Sancho, the England squad is pretty dire.

Nico seems to have decided to stay,dinho is really not a CB,i don't want to make do in defence,he is 35 as well

Granted , right man at the right time, but so was Andy Morrison
