That's a tad unfair. One is about maguire and one is about Pickford 

My bad if true, @Babylon

 

Didn't quote anyone, so train of thought seemed to suggest he meant Maguire

£25mil for a Championship defender (I'm talking from a finance perspective) who has a year left on his contract would be terrible business by us. I'm happy with us signing him if it's true but that's absolutely terrible negotiation on our part. Should be nearer half that.

 

Pickford is a different comparison as he had more time left on his deal (granted he also got relegated), Hull risk losing him for nothing in a year's time.

Haven't seen enough of him to really be able to cast judgement but he's the right side of 30 and seemed to get a fair bit of praise so it all seems promising. Still think we need another centre half, though. We should really be looking to phase Huth and Morgan out of the first team this season.

Oh God yeah. Plenty of us were getting carried away when we signed one of the best CBs in the league for what was then a big fee. He had family links in Leicester too. Everything was there for him to go on and be a City legend but it couldn't have gone any worse lol Think his time here pretty much destroyed his career. Big Nige did well to flog him for a fee.

The big sign there was Reading fans all saying he was rubbish.

How much stick would Rudkin get if we did actually bid.. but only after a fee was agreed with another team lol

The Sun says £17m bid is in and he wants to come as we offer best chance of first team football.

At the time I just thought it was sour grapes.

 

As I said everytime I saw him play for Reading (Admittedly not that much) he looked quality.

Also what forest fans said about wes when they sold him to us though to be fair, then again, wouldn't exactly trust them to know anything about football

That was split, many said he was good. That Reading forum was almost unanimous in saying he was rubbish! Wes had been in the team of the year about three years on the trot as well.

Possibly looking like a deal that may start at £12 million then rise to around £17 million if these are the two numbers that are being mentioned as the transfer fee

£12m not mentioned... more a comment on how it started off at £22m and keeps going down every time a paper says we've bid.

We had to wait 132 years to win a top division title! I'm sure we can all cope with a week to announce a centre back from hull city .... ?

Yes you're right. If he's a player we want to sign it should not really matter if it takes another week as long as we complete the signing and the deal is acceptable to us as a club.

 

But can also understand the impatience on here as some of our incoming transfers do appear to take an eternity to complete.

 

It wouldn't be a total surprise to me if this signing is still not completed this time next week and is still being debated on here!

 

Tick tock, tick tock!

Very average player, lacking in mobility , big clubs have kept away. Paying way over the odds £7.5million at best

Rubbish, been very good in his first season in the prem. Solid defender who can also play out from the back, not lightening quick but more than good enough to do a job for us for a few seasons. I've watched him a lot and he's good player. Who the hell is worth 7.5m these days.

Of The three best English centre backs available (Keane /Gibson/ maguire) - he is he cheapest and the most gettable.
