Plus one or two players we consider would be to expensive. But for whatever reason they seem to be in our price bracket. Our only problem is Marcia will know our targets. French Teams other than PSG do not generally have the financial clout of EPL Teams. Macia may have the names but not the cash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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! Reading the Daily Record they claim Benkovic is staying at Celtic!?! Whereas BR is quoted as saying In the Mockery he will be given a chance here in pre-season. So what to believe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluearmyfox28 Posted 12 May 2019 Share Posted 12 May 2019 IF he is to go, then get a bidding war started! One thing I noticed though was the other day Ole mentioned that united’s transfer policy needs to change. That instead of throwing all these millions around he’s going to sign young lads & develop them the same way Fergie use to. Surely that wouldn’t mean he’s then going to throw £65m+ at Maguire? On a separate note if he does go am I the only one in thinking we should look at Tomori from Chelsea? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tielemans63 Posted 12 May 2019 Share Posted 12 May 2019 I really hope he stays but if he does go then it's not the end of the world. I think Soyuncu has the potential to be just as good (it'll take time though) and imho Jonny Evans is our best defender. He's brilliant. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walshy5 Posted 12 May 2019 Share Posted 12 May 2019 Imo Soyuncu is a bombscare of a defender. I'd rather we gave Benkovic a chance. Rodgers speaks very highly of him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope if we loan him out then it's to a PL side such as Sheff Utd or Norwich. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's down to Lennon not playing him (probably prefers playing permanent players to loan players) but I highly doubt he'll be there next season so who knows. Probably right about getting him playing at PL level though but I'd like it to be with us. Injury problems aside, I like him better than I do Soyuncu. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozartfox Posted 13 May 2019 Share Posted 13 May 2019 Daily Record - Nov 2018 Brendan Rodgers has claimed that Dedryck Boyata and Filip Benkovic are good enough to play in the Premier League. The pair have impressed at the position so far this season, despite the precarious positions the two seem to hold at the club. Boyata was on the verge of leaving Celtic Park in the summer, with the team ultimately refusing to grant his wishes and allow him to leave. Benkovic was brought in on loan from Leicester City, and many had speculated that Foxes manager Claude Puel would recall the Croat in January – something which Puel himself has now ruled out. So maybe if a big enough offer comes in for Harry he will indeed be allowed to go? Maybe Congerton scouted Benko when he was playing in Croatia, so they both know already he can make the step up (or is it 'down' from Celtic)?

Not a good sign Well he will not be playing on plastic pitches in the EPL, which contributed to the first injury from which he never really recovered. Hopefully a once he is back down here training on better surfaces, he will remain injury free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HighPeakFox Posted 13 May 2019 Share Posted 13 May 2019 If Maguire is to be sold, I expect it's already been discussed and informally agreed - it won't just appear out of thin air, even if that's what we're led to believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

copunk Posted 13 May 2019 Share Posted 13 May 2019 Weve looked more solid defensively without him this season, i personally wouldnt feel too bothered if he wants to leave and we get good money for him, never thought i would say this but im more concerned about losing chilwell, wasnt a big fan but hes realy grown on me this season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
