I'd personally rather him over Gibson and he will probably be cheaper. He's looked absolute quality in some games His passing is underatted, he's a better passes than Wes and Huth

We signed the square root of **** all last summer when we were premier league champions and in the champions league, why are we suddenly a more attractive proposition? We best just give up now then. Can someone tell the guy in the corner to throw the towel in.

He made a pass vs Boro cutting through the back line, he's not just a cart horse.

Not quite, fans need to lower their expectations is all im saying. We signed very badly when we were a very attractive proposition, we aren't suddenly going to get huge names. Maguire would be a perfectly good signing for us
st albans fox Posted 9 June 2017 Posted 9 June 2017 We are now favourites to sign him at 13/8. Some nibbling at 2/1 has brought it in

dannythefox Posted 9 June 2017 Posted 9 June 2017 Won't play for spurs but he'd be a big players for over the next few seasons, I wanted him when I watched him at shef Utd a few times.
gurru991 Posted 9 June 2017 Posted 9 June 2017 Players like Maguire know they will be back-ups at the top six clubs. better to sign with us and get a chance at regular football
Guest Posted 9 June 2017 Posted 9 June 2017 I'd be very happy with this. Personally would like us to go for Gibson as well.
Ric Flair Posted 9 June 2017 Posted 9 June 2017 Maguire and Hoedt would be great stuff, Ake an absolute dream in a swap deal with Traore and dough for Mahrez.

Bluearmyfox28 Posted 9 June 2017 Posted 9 June 2017 I personally want two of Gibson, Hoedt, Maguire & Acrebi. Preferred choices would be Hoedt & Acrebi however.

I think there's been a few tenuous links eg the Mercury but yeah nothing official.

Gibson and Maguire would be 2 solid signings. Young, English and prem experience. I got shot down for saying this by people saying we should sign Acerbi. Yeh lets sign an ageing centre back whos never played in the prem over 2 prem experienced young lads. But what do i know?

I don't understand bookies odds at all. How much is based on the bookies 'probabilistic assessments' and how much where punters put their money? its a bit off subject, so apologies in advance, but does anybody know?

How much is based on the bookies 'probabilistic assessments' and how much where punters put their money? its a bit off subject, so apologies in advance, but does anybody know? Good question, and I don't know for sure but it is something I've pondered in the past but have been too lazy to look up. It does occur to me that if there are N possible outcomes to an event, and if for outcome i the odds given by bookies are Oi, and the amount of money laid on outcome i is Mi, the money paid out in the event of outcome i is Mi x Oi. The bookie gets to keep the total money taken (T) less the money taken for outcome i. If the bookie wants to break even for any possible outcome, then Mi x Oi = T - Mi Rearranging: Mi x (Oi +1) = T therefore Oi + 1 = T/Mi or Oi = T/Mi -1 Which gives a formula for setting the odds to break even under all circumstances. In practice it is obviously not so simple. Firstly the bookie needs to make a profit, so these odds are too generous. He would need to be less generous but still needs to compete with other bookies, so the resulting market would drive actual odds. Secondly, this formula assumes that you know the final amounts taken for each outcome at the time the odds are set, which is clearly not the case, so can't be the actual way things are done in practice. My maths is rather rusty, so please feel free to correct if I've made a mistake.

If we could get Maguire, Gibson and Gylfi, I think we would be challenging for top six next season. All of them have premiership experience, which is vital when you look at the performances of some of our signings last season. the only one that seemed to adapt to the premiership immediately was Ndidi.
Dan Posted 10 June 2017 Posted 10 June 2017 I can see us signing him. Thought I'd throw that in there.

Add a striker, a centre mid & a right back n without a doubt top 6 should be the target.
