and MaguireOnly yer da's are devastated at us not getting Maguire.
No but this policy we have won't work forever.
We one day have to push the boat out a bit more. We won't always get lucky that's my worry. We needed a replacement for VK Maguire was ideal. I would have paid it.
You say that, but the amounts we paid for Walker and Sterling at the time were probably viewed how £80m is now. The true figure has never been made public, but I think we paid a lot more for Aguero than was first publicised at the time. The amount we paid for Ederson was a lot at the time, and it was only the subsequent Kepa and Allison that made it seem a lot less. I think we are willing to push the boat out when the player and the time is right. It sounds like we liked the look of Maguire but the board have decided we can spend £85m more wisely. Our transfer business has been unparalleled these past few years so i'm not too concerned.

Hes an improvement on what they've got but 80M is crazy. But they've got the cash so who cares. Means we arent buying him which I'm happy about.

‘I don’t care how much he costs...’ ‘we needed a centre half...’ ‘we’re rich anyway...’ ‘what’s another 10-20 million...’ ‘that’s the going price...’
All taken from their forum. Given that the same could be said for 6-7 of their positions, you have to wonder when the lunacy will stop. Never, hopefully.

Wow! Thankfully sense prevailed in the end for us. Maguire is a decent player, but he isn't nearly an £85m player. At least we can no longer be reasonably accused of inflating the market. Look at this list of calamities: Pogba (£120m), Maguire (£85m), Martial (£60m), Fred (£50m) and Sanchez (£32m + Mkhitaryan + £600k/wk).
