80-90m is crazy for maguire. I hope we look to fill the homegrown quota with a young rb next summer, because I think there'd be a lot better value there. Stick with what we have this season.
A lot more mileage in this one yet.
Because we don’t know that. They don’t want him at 80 mill plus maybe but we didn’t want VVD at his price at the time and now it’s a bargain in the insane market.how about City don't want him, you clingers on why don't you think about this scenario.

If the club doesn’t want to pay that price it’s fine by me but we’re fans on a forum. Arguing is in our blood. :)
I guess the point is that if we hadn’t said “75 mill for VVD, no way” we wouldn’t be facing an 80-90 mill fee for a lesser player or even an absurd 30-40 mill for Ake now.Not at £80 million plus, no way.
Absolutely. But we didn’t have to pay the HG premium tax on him.We got a bargain with Laporte.

Hopefully OTTY stays and we can keep our hands in our pockets. But next year the cost of players will have gone up another 10-20%.
It’s utter madness, especially to an old timer like me who’s eyes boggled at a quarter mill for Martin Peters.
