Maguire to Man Utd / Man City

[Fox92]

Not that bothered because we’ve got a fee that is for us. I was more gutted when Kante and Mahrez left and even more so for the price they went. I liked Maguire and thought he was decent for us but we can a better defender for much less. Lascelles from Newcastle is better than him for starters.

[LC/FC]

Now that he's gone it means we now have another spot and chance to turn another player into a full time international. 

Don't know if anyone realises this but we're the team that make the players that others crave. 

£85 million for Harry because we made him who he is mostly. 

We put players on the map. Vardy, Kante, Mahrez, Drinkwater, Schmeichel, Chilwell etc, even Wes got to be an international because of us. 

We'll be fine, just got to find the next gem and polish it up.

You could always be grown up and ignore the obvious rubbish if it troubles you.

We selling Chilwell too? ITK

How the **** did I forget Chilly?! I stand corrected!!

 

C'MON CHILLY

 

Genuinely made me feel better, ta!

[Stott93]

I do feel sorry for united. They have literally over paid for him ? but we didn’t want to sell.... silly silly business on uniteds part! We certainly need a replacement though... can’t wait to over spend on a bog standard defender

[sylofox]

Hows the redcafe doing

 

Imagine thinking a players not good enough for you. Then your club spends a world record fee to get him

[Sithbaare]

Just posting here to say that this is a great deal for Leicester. Long may people rip Man Utd off

No player in the England squad? We have the first choice left back and, surely, Maddison will be called up soon too 

Yeah I'm an idiot. I blame pre-match beers ?

[Always Next Year]

Money, Money, Money free packet of Walkers and a bottle beer for the rest of the season.

[Haywood_6]

 I'm in two minds about whether we should go for a replacement or not

Quite unlikely following a £80m injection sweetheart.

I baited one of them on social media earlier saying you've paid for our training ground.

Chelsea take Kante and win the league, Man City take Mahrez and win the League 

United take Maguire and win the league, bollocks we get 85 million and finish higher than those wankers. It shows that we produce some of the best players to play in England. I love this club

Yeah I'd be happy finishing above 1st tbh

[Kopic]

Hurrah.

Are you itk?

No, annoyed we’ve sold him. And annoyed at some of the guff I’m reading. Bring in a cm a cb and a winger for 70 million quid in this day and age , as if. We’ve made maguire the most expensive defender in history!! No.. Man Utd have made him the most expensive. Glad of his time here, glad of the fee but I think we’ll come out second best out of this deal

Well the Celtic fans were just as impressed with Benko as they were Van Dijk.... so why not give him a chance?

Well this has flattened my Friday enthusiasm somewhat, but at least it means we can see how Evans and A N Other get on tonight against Atalanta.

 

Ridiculous fee, but great for us - makes Youri look like a steal! Going to miss that big forehead of his. Means we no longer have a player in the England squad too, sadly.

 

Hopefully we go after Tarkowski over Dunk.

Chilwell says Hi

See ya slab head. Obscene money for a decent player. No malice towards him but I hope he flops massively there 

he will certainly be under the spotlight and I've always had him down as a nervous type of player however he did add quite a bit to our team in terms of his presence but defenders can be replaced quite easily.

 

I'd take Cahill as @Babylon suggested a better defender and free.

 

the worst thing we could do now would be to blow 30m/40m on another defender.

[CosbehFox]

Huge irony is that Manchester United have cemented themselves as a soft touch in the transfer market. 

 

The deal will cause them issues for the next two to three years. 

[HankMarvin]

hope majority gets invested, otherwise our net spend will be similar to other seasons 

[Guest Markyblue]

Decent player for us but 80 million your having a laugh. Seems a nice bloke and was reasonably professional but time to invest and move on up, other departures have hurt us much more.

[Tielemans63]

Wow. Well done to the board for sticking to their guns and trusting that United would blink first.

 

Leicester City in a world record transfer....amazing!

Me too. If we decide we need one I hope we go for Tarkowski and get it done quickly.

You really don’t get how football works do you matey? You need to sell now and then to reinvest produce talent and repeat while strengthening our squad over time. Our club have played an absolute blinder here
