Or, therein lies the problem with being interviewed by a newspaper that is notorious for joining multiple answers together to form a new sentence and then some pleb on twitter reading he’s off to Man Utd from it. 4

WigstonWanderer Posted 23 July 2018 Posted 23 July 2018 (edited) Hopefully this is just contract negotiation talk from Maguire. Need to get that sorted. Edited 23 July 2018 by WigstonWanderer
FoxOfMelton Posted 23 July 2018 Posted 23 July 2018 I can't put into words how disappointed I'd be if he left us for United. I love the big bastard, and I utterly despise United. Selling would also show a real lack of ambition.

gurru991 Posted 23 July 2018 Posted 23 July 2018 I think it is a warning to City that we need to push on.

Without the right stature and sometimes even the geographical location, how do you even attract the right players. Living in a shadow, Man City, even with multi billionaire owners has taken them many years to get to where they are now and as wealthy and good as our owners are, they're not that. A no nonsense short term solution re Maguire is merely tell his agent that whatever his and his client's thoughts are, he's only been here a year, he's not going anywhere so don't bother. However, from a businessman's point of view, £50-£60m for a 17m outlay would on paper represent really good business but at what what longer term cost? It's not just about 1 player. It's the message it sends out to other clubs, our current players, potential future players and our fans. Difficult decision for them as businessmen. 1

I am not convinced that European football is about us buying expensive players. I believe we can be successful & keep our top payers by buying wisely and providing players like Maguire with an ambitious environment. Players like Chilwell, Madisson, Gray & Nacho scream ambition and if we can hit that 6/7 spot this year then we can keep this team together.

Merging Cultures Posted 24 July 2018 Posted 24 July 2018 Where are they getting the idea he is £65m? Unless we've had a bid and accepted he isn't worth anything. And I wouldn't accept anything less than £80m.
RowlattsFox Posted 24 July 2018 Posted 24 July 2018 Only way we sell Maguire is if he kicks up a fuss and requests to leave. Or we get an obscene bid and I'm talking more than £65m.

lcfc sheff Posted 24 July 2018 Posted 24 July 2018 There’s no chance we’d want Bailly in return, his wages will be north of £70k

lcfc sheff Posted 24 July 2018 Posted 24 July 2018 Just now, les-tah said: you do know we will have to pay more than 70k to keep Harry? Yes, factoring in Maguires value rising considerably more after another solid season would mean its better business in the long term
