Isn't that Delaney geezer the one Rabin had a run in with?

Broken clock.
Plus, he despises us so no doubt he'll be gloating about this one whilst completely missing the irony that it's the Rag's who have been systematically ramping up the price of players since the inception of the PL.

Didn’t want him anyway.
Genuinely .
Genuinely .
Is it silly to celebrate an opponent signing a decent player? Yes.
Would I be upset if my club paid that much for Maguire? Yes. The fee isn't meaningless imo.
Will he improve them/perform as a top CB for them? No one can say that now.
I probably should have said their defence. AWB and maguire will improve their current shambolic defence no doubt.
While I agree their situation is toxic, maguire is a good defender and will still improve them but at a hefty cost. Will it propel them to contend for the title? I don't think so but it will improve their top 4 chances.
There are reasons plenty why those players you listed flop and Fred probably is on his way there too. but maguire I feel had the attributes to succeed. He is mentally strong and performed well after moving clubs. He is so called PL proven too. I don't think he is the same with those highly rated players from the PL that flopped. He isn't going to be played in a different position like Mata in right wing or in a decline like Sanchez. Unless he goes on the same diet as Luke Shaw, i feel maguire will perform quite well for them. Ridiculous price still.
Pogba shouldn't be on the list though. He didn't flop.
Yes
If he doesn't want to come and fight in champions league then that shows a triet that pep and us(fans) should not be interested in.

He’ll regress in that side with that manager. They are a ruder-less ship with a haphazard transfer policy. You can’t polish a turd. No matter how expensive the wax.

The countries most expensive defender, most expensive midfielder, most expensive forward,
The countries highest paid player, about to make DeGea the highest paid goal keeper.
Not bad for a club fighting to break into the top 4.
But of course it is us that is ruining football.

Wish he’d just go to them as I’m getting sick of reading this fairytale of us being interested in him. End of day they are gonna pay well over the odds for him and yes he will make them better but they are that far of the top table that he will have it all on his shoulders one season start. I doubt we even put that £70 million bid what Leicester said us and Utd did .
Leicester fans rate him but most consider Evans to have had the better season.
Now Evans gets a hard time on here due to his past and is probably a better defender then we like to admit. However, he is certainly not a name that comes to mind if you where asked to name the best CB in the world or Premier League. So for him to be considered to have had the better season of the 2 does not lend itself to this amount of money.
I’m interested to know what the wages would be for him. As he seems like his wages should be around 120-140. However, as the worlds most expensive defender surely his agent should be asking for more

Not bothered if he goes to rags as he’s not a player worth £80m.
However, I can’t understand why, if we had been interested, we’d have to lose Otemendi & Danilo first. Why don’t the rags have to get rid of one of their many defenders before they can spend the money on Maguire?
Unlike them, We haven’t spent much this window (or last window) & our wage structure is well organised etc - surely with TV income & CL monies, we could spend a lot more than we have??

It’s a drop in the ocean with their current plight, and a poor decision on his behalf if we are being honest.
Again they have gone balls out with a ridiculous transfer fee and what will likely be obscene wages.
Pep would have made him something but I like the way we do our business so at that price, no thanks.

This is how it feels to be City,
This is how it feels to be small.
We sign Rodri,
You sign Harry Maguire
Probably true. But in the current market it has always been obvious that Leicester would demand a fee of around £80m. There was no way they would sell for £60-65m. Not sure why we wasted our time if all the reports are true.
