I've resigned myself to loosing either of Maguire or Chilwell and I'd be alot happier if it were Maguire especially at 80m, knowing Benkovic is returning, Soyuncu in waiting and the return to the team of Choudry the defensive maestro ? oh and if we loose out to Tielemans so be it I'm sure Congerton will do the business ??

Yeah I’m not bothered if Maguire goes to be honest. LB is a notoriously hard possition to recruit for, and there’s not many quality full backs about that would come to us anyway so it’s imperative we keep Chilwell. Anything over £55 million for Maguire we sell for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Posted 11 May 2019 Share Posted 11 May 2019 (edited) The reasoning and answer to my questioning is money is ultimately money, but I just question why he'd go to the options suggested and/or if they are real options. Arsenal - History suggests Arsenal won't pay the money we want. Spurs - See Arsenal, even more so with that new stadium to pay for. Chelsea - Transfer ban, why are the even being talked about?! Man Utd - Why? They're in trouble, our aim next season should be trying to close the gap on them, who knows even challenge/overtake them, I suppose the way of looking at it from Maguire's point of view is that perhaps it's a good time to go there - transition, become part of the rebuild, a new era/team for the future, he'll arguably play every game (Which fair play, he can actually say that which is more than seemed to go through Drinkwater/Mahrez's thought process when they left), but it's a gamble in my eyes. I tried to reason, talk myself out of believing Mahrez would go last summer and was wrong, i'll probably be wrong this time too but the options are not viable or risky/poor imo, of course i'm gonna show some bias though.

st albans fox Posted 11 May 2019 Share Posted 11 May 2019 If he is determined to leave then we have to sell him but we also have to get an obscene price if its its our decision then we tell him we want him to stay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It drives me mad. It's almost deliberately impossible to compete with the "big" clubs. I feel like there should be a rule that you can't play for another team in the same league within 24 months or something. Just to allow smaller clubs the opportunity to build before getting ripped apart year after year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So how much of his £500k a week is going to need covering? Plus it would feck up our wage structure and piss off other players. Really bad idea imo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YesNdidi Posted 11 May 2019 Share Posted 11 May 2019 I love Harry, but to be honest I don’t think it’ll be the end of the world if we could get 70+ million for him. He’s a great player but he’s really not worth that much, and if that money is spent wisely then we can make the squad much better overall. A brilliant defender, but he’s not exactly irreplaceable like Riyad was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they won't be rushing for his signature any time soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should aim to be ahead of Man U next season, but if they carry on as they are it could be us Watford, Everton, Crystal Palace... and so on. We can close the gap on Chelsea too. Liverpool and Man City aside, no teams have impressed this season. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brucey Posted 11 May 2019 Share Posted 11 May 2019 Less keen on selling Harry now that we have a new recruitment team in place with no track record here as of yet. I’d rather see how they do with an average budget first before giving them the really big bucks to spend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

st albans fox Posted 12 May 2019 Share Posted 12 May 2019 Daily mirror article entitled ‘Rodgers urges maguire to stay’ ...... thats good I thought. Brendan wouldn’t want to be knocked back publicly. Then I read the article and nowhere can I see quotes that reflect the title .....it’s just about Harry still having areas where he can improve and that Brendan can help him with that. He is quoted saying Maguire has ‘incredible pace’. ........ that’s an odd thing to say about Harry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
