OhYesNdidi Posted 24 July 2018 Share Posted 24 July 2018 Suprised they are not going for Toby Alderweirled. He'd be cheaper. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpjfox Posted 24 July 2018 Share Posted 24 July 2018 Seeing Jose on SSN he gave the impression hes got the squad now to start the season and hes not happy Personally i dont think theres enough time now before window closes to carry out a major transfer. I also doubt our owners will sell 2 of our top players in one window. Im quietly confident he will stay even if for one more season. Ireckon a new improved contract with a "get out clause" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our only hope of keeping Maguire long term is if the novelty of him wears off or he's not as good as everyone thinks he is. Either of those scenario's and he'll be worth much less than he is now and it might be that defensively we are still suspect with him in a flat back 4. The upshot to keeping him is he has another superb season and teams get desperate and offer north of £90-100m for him but they may just try to get him cheaper by unsettling him and hoping we cave in. I'd be tempted to sell if we get £65-75m this summer. This is the best time to sell him if you go off Maguire individually. The fact we've already lost Mahrez and could lose Schmeichel makes it a no no for me, and it's gotten too late in the window for us to sell a key player, but I think Maguire, whilst good, isn't completely faultless and a lot of this is the classic World Cup trap. He was quite dodgy in a couple of the earlier games but his performances against Colombia and Sweden have propelled his reputation no end. What I'm saying is his true value is probably about £40mil (not saying I'd accept that) but the World Cup has distorted things, just like it will for the likes of Yerry Mina and Denis Cheryshev. I don't want to sell him but this next two weeks is probably the most we'll ever get offered for him. Edited 25 July 2018 by Dan LCFC 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SheppyFox Posted 25 July 2018 Share Posted 25 July 2018 The armchair fans at work are grating on me, they’re so excited that a club that has away games nearer to their home might be trying to steal one of their home towns best players shameful. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALC Fox Posted 25 July 2018 Share Posted 25 July 2018 From one transfer saga to another. This is another one that could run and run. If Maguire doesn't go this summer, it will continue into January and possibly next summer. I suppose it's good for the club that our players are wanted by elite clubs for astronomical fees, but I just think that with our owners we have the potential to crack that top 4 again within the next few seasons. Selling our best season after season will just turn us into Southampton. I just hope this doesn't turn into a Drinkwater situation where Man Utd bid for him close to the deadline and we've got mere hours or minutes to replace him.

foxfan92 Posted 25 July 2018 Share Posted 25 July 2018 Hate the media attitude that a so called “big club” comes knocking on the door for a player and therefore we should be obliged to sell. If we have any ambitions of building a squad that could challenge the supposed “top six” some time in the future then keeping players like Maguire is a must. We need to show we won’t sell our best assets (we’ve had to lose one but almost every club is sometimes forced to do that), but we can’t afford to be bullied into losing more. Young exciting players like Maguire are who we should be building the squad around. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frost Posted 25 July 2018 Share Posted 25 July 2018 Give the man the armband and let's build for the future. He looked a lot more assured playing alongside better defensive partners for England and I can't help but think he'd be better suited in a 3-5-2 formation. He's still young and will get better with time, and he's our most valuable asset now. If United offer £70m+ then I guess we'd most likely sell. The problem is that we'd be setting a dangerous precedent of letting our best players leave. With Mahrez we made it difficult and showed we aren't pushovers by dragging it out for 18 months, so I'd rather reject any bid for Harry and avoid being the next Southampton. The best players will always play for the best clubs but if we avoid rolling over as soon as a big club is interested we'll stand a much better chance of cracking the Top 6.

Popular Post urban.spaceman Posted 25 July 2018 Popular Post Share Posted 25 July 2018 The prevailing attitude from the media and fans of “big clubs” that he needs to move from us to go to a “big” club is clearly ignorant of who we are as a club now. Before promotion we were never a selling club - mainly because we never produced anyone good enough to sell. Then we won the actual Premier League and now everyone (Chelsea) wants what we’ve got. Selling Kante was very sad but at the end of the day the player wanted the move. The £20m release clause was understandable when it was put in at the start of his contract because you could never have predicted that he’d become a genuine world class (and world champion) player. We did well to negotiate the £12m on top of that. Even then we’d had our pants down. The main thing is - that summer was a steep learning curve. Dreadful recruitment without our head of recruitment, losing our most important player in the process. But we retained Vardy, Mahrez and Kasper. They were all well worth their new contracts. Other players on massive contracts probably wasn’t a great idea. But anyway. Since then, we’ve played hardball. Drinks for £37m was genius business. (Ignore the Silva debacle). Laughing at Roma’s bids for Mahrez. Man City then coming in for him on the last 2 days of the January window with no time to source a replacement? £95m please. It might have got the media on our backs for being “greedy”, when in reality Man City’s bullying FUP antics were ****ing outrageous. Vichai stood firm and would NOT be bullied or bought. It sends the message to buying clubs: we have our valuations and unless you meet them you can **** off. It also sent the message to our best players: we will not be letting you go without a fight, and we will not tolerate you buggering off with the mardies for 10 days. Vichai has lofty ambitions AND the means to realise them. Winning the league was a surprise to even him but confirmed that it is very possible for us to achieve our aims. The new training ground also proves his this. So the message really to the likes of Man Utd is: 1. we will never sell more than one of our better players per window. 2. We have our valuations and if you don’t meet them, bye bye. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buggsteam Posted 25 July 2018 Share Posted 25 July 2018 If we sell Maguire or even Kasper then all the owners talk of wanting to start pushing for the top six shows no ambition at all. Keep selling our best players we only result in mid table or lower. Yes getting 60+ mill for him is a great profit but money we don’t need in the bank doesn’t do the talking on the pitch. Four years left on his contract, we should be keeping him at all costs and building a team round him. Signing young hungry players like Maddison ( who I really rate ) we have the opportunity to have a really good season if we keep the spine of the team. Become a selling club like Southampton and we will constantly be bullied for our best players and the only way after that is dropping down the table if not relegation. Guess we will find out how ambitious the owners really are come transfer deadline day but selling key players only ends in one way with no time to replace them.
