Harry Maguire

[Citizen in Pakistan]

Not to keen on him tbh but if pep wants him then so be it. Decent player.

I think his size is what gives a lot of people a misconception of his ability.

It compliments his ability.

Was hoping United would waste £60m on him this summer, can't believe we might.

If we do, what does that tell you ? Tells me if we buy him Pep and Txiki think he a good fit and can play a bit.

It does, and Pep has said we need a more physical presence for set pieces against some teams.

Would be worth it if we score more from corners

From Vincent Kompany to Harry Mcguire - thought we were meant to be getting stronger this summer.

 

[Blue Smarties]

6'4 and approaching 15 stone - a fucking monster.

I said on here I wanted him when he was at Hull. I still want him now. He could be superb for us - people underestimate him.

Pretty solid player, knows the prem, threat from set pieces at either end. The fee will be 'ridiculous' but thats the market. Pep will make Stones and Laporte the main partnership I am sure and it will be up to Maguire to force out Stones.

I agree.
Already a very good player, and add to that Pep's track record of improving players.

Likewise,his potential was obvious although,that said.....he has also improved and developed due to the playing time he has gained at Leicester,he would not have got that here.

We need a talker/leader in the team,he's familiar with many of our players and he brings a different and needed option to the squad.He's HG,he doesn't seem to have an ego,he's consistent and reliable and he wants to be the best he can be....not many tick all those boxes.

Seems underwhelming on the face of it but if Pep sanctions it then I can go along with it - guess he’s seen a lot more of him than me(which isn’t a great deal in fairness)

The rags might still be after him mate but come on what would you rather choose, a supermodel or waynetta slob?

 

[City_Sean]

He's absolutely dog shit. Honestly it's a signing I can't get behind in any shape or form. He's no replacement for Otamendi nevermind Kompany.

Lol. This thread has finally and reluctantly arrived. Millions of City fans hoping for De Ligt but deep down knowing it's Maguire :)


Take heart blues. It could be worse... Be grateful it's not JFE :)

 

[Goater=Legend]

The thought of Maguire with our high line doesn't leave me with much confidence

 

[moh]

I know we trust Pep but sometimes I get the feeling he likes to do with transfers what he sometimes does on lineups - come across as the maverick genius who can see things mere mortals can't

I am a mere mortal and all I can see is a sluggish English defender with an oversized head

If it were JFE type prices then I could understand it but that is a lot of £

 

[gordondaviesmoustache]

Pep knows what he’s doing.

Otamendi (a slower player) plays in that same system. Speed is not an issue

Evans went for £3.5m last summer. Maguire would cost at least £60m. Very little difference between the two.
