Hhmm, for all his defensive and attacking talent, his passing skills are poor. Can’t see how it’s a good fit due to this.
 
I remember a season or 2 ago..umtiti was untouchable !

Think injuries and form have forced Barca to sell him

I think a change of scenery would do him wonders.

Still only 25 years old, and has suffered from terrible managers at Barca, and some unlucky injuries for 40m I'd take a shot
 
if we miss out on maguire the only other option is to either trust otamendi (who I actually really rate) or sell otamendi or another foreign player in our squad to make room.

Long shot and getting desperate but what about Jamal lascelles? Would be a lot cheaper and is same age as maguire and is decent in the air, he is also comfortable in a 3 should we choose to use that formation. Just a thought anyways.

with his injury record I doubt we would be happy to rely on 3 experienced centre backs

Your spot on with everything there the only thing I disagree with is Lascelles as an option. He's shocking with the ball. Not surprisingly he excels well in Benetiz's Pro defensive set up. Had a great game against us at home a couple of seasons back but can't do Jack though n the ball for toffee.
 
Couple of rags I know are on holiday in Ibiza and met him yesterday. Asked him when he's signing for United and he just laughed.... Maguires brother (pissed up) started singing Blue Moon and he told him to shut up. Take from that what you will...

I am worried about him playing in a high line but we have to trust Pep. If he tried to sign Matt Rhead from Lincoln City I would still think he had a genius plan for him!
Do you want to stand by that post? I think (well I know) your mates are lying bastards.
 
I'm finding it difficult to get excited about this potential transfer. I know it's not our money so it should be irrelevant but the figures being thrown around for him are absurd.

I'd much rather we convinced Otamendi to stay, someone who knows the system inside out. Throw in the versatility of Fernandinho and Walker (even Danilo should he remain) plus Garcia coming through the ranks I'd say we're pretty well stocked for the centre half position.

Appreciate that the homegrown malarkey kinda skews the market but I'd rather we break the bank for a true world class centre half than break the bank for Harry Maguire.
Or just activate Toby whatshisface release clause for 25 milly :)
 
I would be happy to sign Maguire, I don't think there is any reason to turn our noses at him. He's a good player who Pep would improve adds a physical presence to our defence which could compliment our other CBs. I get the impression he is also someone who backs himself and would relish the challenge of playing for City and raising his game in the big games which is always good. If the club can get him for what they think is a reasonable price I would go for it.

£280k is utter fucking bollocks. I bet that's what the Rags have offered him and he's turned it down to move here, no way on earth in our pay structure he'd get anywhere fucking near that.
 
Is Maguire in Ibiza?
He may have gone there afterwards but he wasn’t on Friday lunchtime because he was in a meeting with Nike just outside Loughborough, their was 3 other Leicester players meeting Nike there after him as well.
