sdb Posted 13 April 2017 Posted 13 April 2017 I'm not convinced personally, but their defensive record is good and boy do we need a young CB. So I hope so! I think!
foxes21 Posted 13 April 2017 Posted 13 April 2017 Keane & Maguire are better imo plus both only got a year left on their contract, so we wouldn't have to pay a ridiculous amount.

M0901 Posted 13 April 2017 Posted 13 April 2017 It's a desperate amount of money but could be a brilliant long term investment. If we can afford it why not? He's a proven PL defender and would be great alongside Benny/Big Wes.
Nick Posted 13 April 2017 Posted 13 April 2017 All. Day. Long. Honestly if player of the season wasn't just about the top 6 clubs and midfield and strikers this lad would be up there with the likes of Hazard Kante & Ibrahimovic - he's been quality. Sign him up.
STUHILL Posted 13 April 2017 Posted 13 April 2017 Happy we are in for a young CB. He started the season extremely well but Maguire is looking better at the moment. £30 million though... I told you guys that crazy pricetags are only going to get worse! £30 million becoming what the £10 million was 5 years ago. Would be happy if we are in for him though. We badly missed our chance with Keane in the summer and don't want to make the same mistake again.
TheUltimateWinner Posted 13 April 2017 Posted 13 April 2017 If we can afford it, pay it Games driven by money these days and nothing effective is in place to stop it, let's take advantage

Games gone..... 3 million quid a year for ten years...peanuts He's played at every level for the England national team, bar the seniors - which he'll do in the next year or so. Would be a perfect signing to play alongside either of the geriatrics that we have...

kingfox Posted 13 April 2017 Posted 13 April 2017 A player I'd be keen on but not for fvcking £30 million, ridiculous.
STUHILL Posted 13 April 2017 Posted 13 April 2017 left footed too. Always useful if we have CB who can play on that side. Benny and Gibson next season then, with Amartey back-up.. If you forget our captain and huth that is..
Izzy Posted 13 April 2017 Posted 13 April 2017 Wouldn't it be nice if we could bring a young English CB through our own academy system into our first team instead of paying £30m to another club who's done just that.

Thracian Posted 13 April 2017 Posted 13 April 2017 Not disputing Gibson's ability but are we really saying we can neither find nor could we have coached an accomplished centre-back for a fraction of £30 million given the time we've known we'd be needing one. What do we actually do at our training ground, and within our recruitment team, during a working week? Good name for a Leicester player though, Gibson! .

Agree. Though we've produced 4 players in just over a decade from the academy, who have been any good at PL level. Stearman, King, Schlupp and Chilwell. 4 in 12 years is 1 every 3 seasons, which is alright I suppose.

A season in the championship and he could be ready to make a real impact for us, judging by how great he is doing at MK About time we produced another top player, although you are right on Chilwell and he could still turn out to be a first team regular at some point

Save our money and switch Ulloa to a CB? .... sorry couldn't resist, Only banter
MC Prussian Posted 13 April 2017 Posted 13 April 2017 £30m!! Looks like Middlesbrough just need another club to save their finances.
