I don't think the Mahrez saga and that Man City were the best example. We were genuinely really good for the first forty-five minutes at 1-1. Puel then pooped himself, dragged off one of our better, forward thinking players in Silva and try to settle for a point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesta2014 Posted 26 July 2018 Share Posted 26 July 2018 When are him and Vardy due back with the rest of the squad? Hopefully he realises he enjoys playing here and will sign a new contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope the media reported £65m is not classed as silly money? If we were offered £100m then yes I think that we might sell him but i'm doubting we'll be offered any more than £60m.

There is a cynical part of me that wonders if it matters or not what price we sell him for if we don't replace him or replace him for an average £25 million player from say the Portuguese top flight... This is the one area (can't believe I'm actually going to write this) that I admire Spurs for at the moment. Consider how many years they were just a feeder club for Real, Man U etc and now they are holding on to their top players and their manager.

Mike Oxlong Posted 26 July 2018 Share Posted 26 July 2018 (edited) Need to keep your best players to have a better chance of attracting better players. The implications of a sale would go beyond the loss of the attributes that he brings on the pitch. No deal.

Because they are challenging, unless we're in the champions league on a regular basis we'll always lose our best player (they've still lost Walker, Alderweireld likely to go and Rose was angling to leave.. Think long term not short, that's the plan behind the training complex and the stadium. Takes us to the next level, shows people show serious we are, brings in better players etc. Better players should mean better chance of challenging for honours, means more chance of keeping players and round and round we go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the past year they have believed they could sign Maguire, Mahrez, Kasper and Vardy. Even skybet were mocking Everton fans when they added their name to the 'Cristiano Ronaldo to sign for' bet before he joined Juve ?

l444ry Posted 26 July 2018 Share Posted 26 July 2018 The Owners played hardball over Drinkwater and Mahrez and will probably do the same with Maguire. We all know that they don't go running to the media with gossip but would be settling for all if we had some sort of statement of intent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The squad is good enough by an absolute mile, look at some of the dross we stayed up with in the squad, look at how bad everyone performed after the title win (Mahrez included) and we stayed up. If we go down it's a failure on behalf of Puel to get the best out of what we've got. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shefffox2 Posted 26 July 2018 Share Posted 26 July 2018 Puel should have loved Dragavic, a little bit more, then the thought of losing Harry, would be slightly less daunting.. Especially with another 50/60 million net cash in the war chest.Dragavic is technically a better defender and is the right side of 30, something to build on. To keep Maguire, will probably cost another 30/40 k a week, meaning even less chance of bringing in a creative player in, and if he has another good season he go for sure anyway .£ 75 m + would be tempted. Claude you need to do serious French smooching on Dragon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cadno'r Cymoedd Posted 26 July 2018 Share Posted 26 July 2018 (edited) Maguire had a promising season for us though he is far from the finished article especially with his positioning. From a personal non-Anglo centric perspective, his WC campaign with England was a bit overrated. Teams such as Panama and Tunisia especially aren't great yardsticks to judge world class defensive abilities. He's no Franz Beckenbauer yet. If Manchester United are prepared to splash say £75 million then IF we have identified and have the opportunity to get another high quality mobile CD in instead, I'd be tempted - this speculation might also affect his season.
