HankMarvin Posted 7 January 2018 Posted 7 January 2018 (edited) GIFT OF MAG Manchester City want Harry Maguire from Leicester and are ready to make incredible £50m bid English centre-back has been extremely impressive for Foxes following summer move from Hull EXCLUSIVE By Alan Nixon HARRY MAGUIRE has played his way on to Pep Guardiola’s wanted list at Manchester City. Leicester’s classy centre-half could be on his way to the Etihad in this month’s window after emerging as a new option in City’s chase for another defender. Guardiola has been impressed by Maguire’s displays since joining from Hull for £17million in the summer and could offer around £50m for him. City’s chief even gave the England defender, 24, a hug in admiration after the Carabao Cup quarter-final last month, which Manchester City won 4-3 on penalties. Guardiola has been linked with West Brom skipper Jonny Evans, Real Sociedad’s Inigo Martinez and Lyon star Mouctar Diakhaby. He ideally wants a centre-half who is eligible to play in the Champions League, with City facing Basel in the last 16 next month. The Foxes will fight to keep him, but Maguire would jump at the chance of a move to the big time after his remarkable rise for club and country. City are currently pricing up their targets. They bid £24m for Evans, 30, in the summer but will have to go higher. Martinez, 26, is a fixed fee at £29m and Lyon would want £40m for Diakhaby, 21. Maguire would be the most expensive option, but City were happy to splash out £47.5m for John Stones in August 2016 . https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/5284364/harry-maguire-manchester-city-leicester-50m-bid/ Edited 7 January 2018 by HankMarvin
foxfanazer Posted 7 January 2018 Posted 7 January 2018 I’d be devastated but I could see Pep being interested
SouthStandUpperTier Posted 7 January 2018 Posted 7 January 2018 Why do these reports linking our players with other clubs make it sound like it's a done deal, like we have no say in the matter? I'll answer my own question. It's because they're complete horseshit. 1
urban.spaceman Posted 7 January 2018 Posted 7 January 2018 I hereby demand that "Transfer Window" be renamed "Silly Season"
Matt Posted 7 January 2018 Posted 7 January 2018 £50m? Nah, shove it. They paid £50m for Stones, he's better than Stones + inflation within the transfer market since then. 1
Stadt Posted 7 January 2018 Posted 7 January 2018 Too immobile for a Pep and he's poor one on one, Martinez would be a better fit and significantly cheaper. Good news for us.
Gerard Posted 7 January 2018 Posted 7 January 2018 I'd sell at that price. A bit flaky defensively and probably overrated because he's good on the ball. 1

mozartfox Posted 7 January 2018 Posted 7 January 2018 Oh Fuch it. Let’s sell everyone that is worth keeping at bucket shop prices and join Florist and the Sheep back in Championship as early as possible. 4
CosbehFox Posted 7 January 2018 Posted 7 January 2018 Again won’t happen until the summer at the earliest
st albans fox Posted 7 January 2018 Posted 7 January 2018 Bobby huth is back soon - I'm sure puel would be delighted to have him and Wes together for our more possession based style ....... 2

Ricey Posted 7 January 2018 Posted 7 January 2018 He’s far from being good enough for that level yet.

Morgan gets pulled up a lot on here yet everyone seems to gloss over Maguire. He's not good enough for a side pushing for titles and European trophies. Edited 7 January 2018 by Fox92

Countryfox Posted 7 January 2018 Posted 7 January 2018 7 hours ago, pmcla26 said: I swear whenever one of our best players gets linked with another club we put them down and highlight their weaknesses as if it will put the buyers off Always pushes his hair across and out of his eyes when waiting for a corner .. ffs who would buy a player that did that !! C’mon Pep get real !
Guest TaggertvsWise Posted 7 January 2018 Posted 7 January 2018 The values have shifted from genuine worth regarding ability to what he is worth to the clubs. Van Dyk and Coutinho are typical examples of this. Teams who have money will have to pay the value of the player to the club. It’s getting to the stage where you can’t compare players’ merits. With all that in mind Van Dyk & Maguire are on a par with their respective situations. We are not big 6 which adds a few quid as they can’t be seen by their fans to be bullied so I would think 60-65 would make sense, the guy is an England international after all. It would be gutting to see him leave but we are 10 pts off safety with half a season left so we should be ok and with Puel’s contact book we could build quite effectively.

Big Harry is class, he’d be under far less pressure if he was at Man City so defensively his stats would improve. He’s potentially at least as good as Stones. He won’t leave this early into his LCFC career. The article is clearly ?? 1
The whole world smiles Posted 7 January 2018 Posted 7 January 2018 10:02: Sees Harry's name in the transfer section and panics. 10:03: sees it's the sun and relaxes. 2
