I don't mind him. Especially as people here been banging on about how he will improve our aerial duels in defensive end but feck no the price if what's is reported is true. 80m is insane for a just good defender who lacks pace. That price we should get a great defender in the class of vvd and de ligt.

Sometimes words just aren't enough.I'll raise a Ben Thatcher Forearm.
For not rating him as high as others seem to? Haha!Still clueless.
I imagine girlbob has a better grasp of the game than a fair few posting on here.
I’m clueless ? I’m sorry if I think he’s not worth the fee or wages and we could do a hell of a lot better for that kind of money. Perhaps we are just guilty of inflating the market. I mean at least PSG and real get top shelf talent for the outlay.Still clueless.
When we chucked shitloads at mangala and everyone shouted down those who thought it was total madness what we paid then like we know nothing ...
I was fuming when we paid what we did for mangala. It wouldnt be so bad if it was a sensible fee but when we are accused of inflations the market we could hardly justify that type of money for HFM ! Especially when we wouldn’t pay it for VVDFor not rating him as high as others seem to? Haha!

Nails must think he’s done nodding dog super fan sniffing peps keks. I’m sorry to nails if my opinion offends him but now I’ve had to give up MY SEASON card after many wonderful years because I can’t afford it. Nails can fuck the fuck off telling me I can’t be slightly fucking irked we are about to drop £80m notes on Harry Maguire

We overpaid for mangala at the same time we got fernando ? Done due to agents fee being higher on Fernando so paid less for Fernando with less agent cut and overpaid on Mangala ? Does anybody remember?
How does he improve us over the likes of Stones or Otamendi? He’s not fit to lace Vinnies boots who I’m guessing he replaces. I won’t even mention Laporte. That’s be a disservice to put them in the same sentence.How much is a player worth if he improves your team? Thats the question you should ask?!
Personally if a player improves us Id say what ever our well run club pays! Its that simple!!

Its all about the squad all main players will get game time! Playing the likes of sandler or garcia if there is an injury a suspension or resting would be a gamble and Pep very rarely gambles a proven centre back in that situation is the improvement.

Ha - yeah I can see where you're coming from with this comment.
Of course Pep is going to make mistakes - he's only human. As long as he makes more success than mistakes & we don't use this cult saying as a scapegoat.
I highly doubt Pep is waiting by the phone to see if the Harry Maguire transfer has gone through. He's probably on a beach or golf course somewhere. Most likely gave his input on areas to strengthen & a group of players he initially would approve of joining & then left the board to it before going on hols.

Its not just about getting a top quality defender its replacing the main Leader that we had in Vinny. You can see how VVD is a natural leader for the scousers -without Vinny we are weaker as it stands.

Maguire shows leadership qualities and,now he is settling......i'm sure we will see more from Laporte this coming season.Stone is also a leader,he just needs a run in the team.
Looking far and wide though,the qualities Vinny had are pretty unique.

Am hoping Harry becomes Harry fucking Maguire and he stays with Jonny fucking Evans.
Fee aside, the postives I get from this are - a big bruiser of a defender that will solidify our aerial threat at both ends. Confident enough to bring the call out and a seemingly a very popular player with fans and players alike. He's also ready made, knows the league and is available. I would also add, that v's Leicester 3 times last season, we only scored 1 goal on each occasion and Maguire completed each game. He seems to organise and defend fairly well. Re-emphasised by Leicester keeping clean sheets either side of our game v Arsenal and Chelsea. He also scored v Liverpool - as they dropped 2 points at home.. we know how important little bits like that are. And of course, Leicester beat us in December where Harry was MOTM.
When I look at the above and say does he show signs of being a good defender... well yes.
Other than go the route of shiny new European defender.. we have to go homegrown and with Walker, Stones, Delph, we have decent picks out of what's available and all under 30. Maguire fits in nicely into that. Seems close to Stones and Sheffield-born with Walker. The only English CB's are really Smalling, Gomez, Jones, Dunk, and Keane. It's bleak.
The fee is rightly above £50m... but should be no more than £60-65 IMO.
If we are looking at filling quotas, we should buy where the player truly benefits the team.

Well, I think that he'd be a damn decent buy! De Ligt is pricing himself out of a move here, so lets go get a decent proven player at this level, who is on the market it seems. Remember the same reservations people had over a certain Richard Dunne in the beginning ………….and he didn't turn out to be half-bad did he, just saying!!

Our interest is very much Daily Star based He is a good defender not a great one however we have a coach who can help him achieve this if he wants us its a chance to cement a partnership with Stones which England would benefit from Mind you they would both have to go some to dislodge laporte i do like Otto but i dont have the confidence he can replace one of the two mentioned on a regular basis
