Harry Maguire

[Neville Kneville]

Just about two weeks ago now ;)

Ah right, cheers.


I don't think we'll sign Maguire for the quoted fee unless there is a player going the other way.

And the City execs who talked about his price on camera? What was their sentiment?! Did they think £75M was good value?

Seriously, does ANYONE think we should be shelling out 125-150% of our current record transfer fee on Maguire?? Seriously??

It’s a fucking joke!!!

I'm pretty chilled about it. Good player.

 

[80s Shorts]

Yeah and we signed Vinny because he looks like Will Smith, Aguero was signed because he looks like Tom Cruise and David Silva looks like the teenage star in a boy band.

Tom Cruise wishes he looks like Sergio ;-)

 

[Barcon]

Maguire's OK. He's not the superstar he's being painted, but he's not shit either.

I think Maguire's problems are one of image. He's an ugly bastard, with the potential to turn his 'robust' carcass into The Blob.

Haha, I'll bet there'll be a few humourless cnuts replying to that.

 

[TheThirdDeano]

£90million?? Jesus Christ!

And we get blamed for inflating the market.

If united buy him for that they have officially, and unabashedly lost the plot

 

[BufordUSABlue]

Yes he's a good player, but 'good' players shouldn't command a fee of anywhere near 75-90Million!
If we can only just get Stonesy's head right he would be a superstar for us and an upgrade on Maguire!

I think they're way past that.

Talk about trying to persuade yourself he would be a good buy at an obsence price


Gary Neville: “We talk about John Stones being good on the ball, I actually think [Harry] Maguire is the equal of him. A big statement, maybe, as Stones is seen as the composed, ball-playing centre-back, but I think Maguire is just as good on the ball."

Me too.

Oh, come on!!

We did sign Zinchenko because he looked like Kevin De Bruyne to be fair...
;)

The fee is irrelevant in any transfer, if a new player incorporates into a team and makes that team even better, no one can put a price on that.

KDB signed for 55m at the time a lot of money, within 18 months he had made that fee look a bargain.

Yeh but this is Maguire - a good player but you can't compare him to De Bruyne who is one of the best players in the world ...

It the value that he gives to the team that matters.

Top class defenders cost big money, Vandyke etc 75m for him was crazy at the time, but he has been a great signing and a big success

Well said. It’s really not rocket science but the sheer number of people who just don’t understand the basics of football is staggering.

He wasn't before he came to us, disappointing at Chelsea, but looked good in Germany but far from what he has become.

 

[Topbins]

De bruyne was world class before coming to City.

I know...I’m replying to one, right now!!

Maguire is NOT a world class defender, nor will he ever be one. He is a big fish in a very small, very visible, bowl. The words “English defender” describe him to a tee, and even then he is a throwback.

He is not good enough to play for City. If we could bring him on for corners and free kicks, great! But until then, he is an overpriced English defender!

Ask yourself: What would Barca pay for him? Real Madrid? PSG?

 

[Gorton_Tubster]

Aye, same here. I really dont rate Maguire... He's good at being a Steve Bruce or Adams, technically NOT what we want, he's a solid defender though, strong minded.

Stones/Maguire spliced would be good

I agree with you in that I don’t think Maguire is world class, but why do you think he doesn’t have the potential to become one, especially under Peps tutelage?

He’s not a player!

His body shape, his movement, his intelligence.

What, are we now buying average English players for top, top dollar, in the hope Pep can fix them in his remaining two seasons?

Let’s not, eh?!
