Drew Peacock Posted 8 August 2018 Share Posted 8 August 2018 Luckily all this mental anguish of not knowing will be over after today. Then this forum can do what it does best again. Start slagging off most of our players and calling for Puel to be sacked. The latter probably by late on Friday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WigstonWanderer Posted 8 August 2018 Share Posted 8 August 2018 I think Maguire has behaved admirably in the circumstances. He is currently negotiating a new contract so would want to keep some pressure on. Even so he hasn’t behaved anything like Mahrez, or for that matter Vardy in 2016. Remember that saga? Arguably started the whole destabilisation of the post title team. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarryDee8 Posted 9 August 2018 Share Posted 9 August 2018 (edited) Idont know what all the fuss on spending is about. So far leicester city are in profit, selling musa and mahrez!

Sly Posted 9 August 2018 Share Posted 9 August 2018 The major concern here is the lack of communication from Maguire himself. He’s not come out and stated he’d like to stay at Leicester for another 12 months etc Ultimately though, you look elsewhere, if Manchester United offer £80,000,000, then realise that other defenders lare going for a lot less. You’ve got to realise that they’d be paying way over the top. Mina - £45,000,000 (supposed) Vida - £27,000,000 (supposed) Diakhaby - £15,000,000 De Vrij - went on a free!! Lenglet - £35,000,000 Gibson - £15,000,000 Mawson - £15,000,000 Caldara - £35,000,000 Pavard - £40,000,000 (supposed) Alderweireld - £55,000,000 (supposed) Tah - £35,000,000 (supposed) Rugani - £45,000,000 (supposed) When you look at those, is Harry worth significantly more? His stock is is inflated by the World Cup, similar to Mina. You could have purchased a decent, solid, defensive back 3 for the money we’re after!! The only issue I have with bringing in a younger replacement at this stage, is the language barrier and time to settle into the club. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The twitter twaddle from yesterday evening referencing done deals is in the 40/50m region. that’s interesting in itself given the media have reported we have turned down 60m (unless the 60m included huge amount add ons). I don’t see any way that united will pay more than 60/70m inc add ons for Maguire. I can’t see that the owners would sanction a sale at that level but on a human level if he is actually being offered 200k per week at the ‘biggest club in world football’ ...........

All of a sudden an absolutely obscene bid comes in and our owners think 'We really can't turn that down' the club accept it, he's off. He would get crucified for swearing his loyalty. At the end of the day Leicester City are just his employer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a Leicester fan of course we'd love to hear this, but it would be bad business for Harry if he were to say things like that. It's been reported that he will be offered a new deal. If he were to start saying things like that his agent would be telling him to keep quiet as the club could offer less in his new wage packet. The quieter he stays the more edgey the club get, the more likely they are to offer a better deal to see off any potential suites for another year. He knows his stock his high right now and he knows he'll probably be offered just as much to stay here as he would be by moving on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guarantee he will be better off by moving on ........... the club won’t make a statement that he isn’t for sale, nor will the player publically commit. At the end of the day the club is a business and the player is a professional with an agent. Once something is agreed (be it a sale or new contract) then public statements will obviously be forthcoming. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ronnup Posted 9 August 2018 Share Posted 9 August 2018 If we keep him and they are interested it’s a big deal, and it could really effect him. Fact of tha matter is we will never offer anything like the wages he could get there, and we know he might not maintain his performances or progress and he may never get the chance again off the back of a World Cup semi. Tricky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozleicester Posted 9 August 2018 Share Posted 9 August 2018 (edited) As a saleable item. i cant imagine a time when Harry would bring us a greater profit. (thats not to deny his "value" to us as a team). If we dont sell at $60 million today... and then they come back at 70 million in January... that $10 million is lost in the absurd increases of Premier league players. If we are EVER going to sell him, then lets do it now, but if the owners intend on making/encouraging him to stay with us for 5-7 more years, then no sale.
