There is no way he 'loves' the club, that is just a gross undervaluing of the word. Put yourself in his shoes, as Leicester fans. If you were good enough to play football, and spent a couple of years at a club other than Leicester, would you 'love' that club because they treated you well? Could you love any club but Leicester?

But then his quotes to James Bourne on Tuesday suggested otherwise and we would only bring another in for the long term future.

Xen Posted 18 July 2019 Posted 18 July 2019 I wonder what we'd consider 'too late'. 3 weeks left of the window, it'd probably take half a week to bring someone new in (assuming we're making preparations already), which only leaves 2.5 weeks (with numerous preseason games and travelling in there disrupting any training). If we want to sign someone and get them up to speed and ready to play against Wolves then we're going to have to wrap it all up pretty swiftly. Either that or Rodgers is putting pressure on Utd (especially with the 'two clubs bidding' comment) to make them panic and overpay so he has more to spend elsewhere.

I'm sure that's a subtle way of telling the player and the other clubs, if you think you are going to low ball us at the end of the window and try and force it through, think again.

As long as they've lined up targets and aware what's needed to get said player I imagine they could get a deal done quickly, Silva (albeit, fax machine and 14 seconds late saga) came within a couple of hours. I'm confident the club have it all in hand should they spring on up deadline day and snap up Harry. I'd rather Maguire stays, but if he is to go I'd wish Utd stop messing about and get on it with... it's disruptive to our training schedule and not any good to anyone.
dooflip Posted 18 July 2019 Posted 18 July 2019 So Lineker and heskey (just two examples) didn’t love the club because they left? harry will always be remembered in a positive light for us. Him and mahrez/drinky are worlds apart. He’s a professional young man who has handled this saga that has been ongoing since last summer extremely well. I’ll wish him all the best. We can’t blame him for wanting to win things or set his family up for life.
Dahnsouff Posted 18 July 2019 Posted 18 July 2019 If there is a deadline, and it is reasonable, we should publish it.

Certain clubs are just huge, almost despite their on field antics. He doesn't love Leicester, he greatly appreciates what his time here has given him. To claim otherwise is just hyperbole and disingenous Fans see things in a very binary way, you are either a) a fan, or b) a dick Key Point (Dare I say fact..) Players are rarely fans. It's not disingenuous, it's just a figure of speech. For example, I might say that I love jaffa cakes. I don't doubt he has genuine affection for the club and his team mates and maybe even the fans, that will endure beyond his playing days.

You do raise a good point @murphy - specifically, but does your love for jaffa cakes reach dubious carnal desire? (You are right of course, disungenuous was the incorrect word )

United have the price so it's totally on them, we're not standing in his way and Maguire is all too aware that if he is that desperate he can hand in his transfer request.

Simoken Posted 18 July 2019 Posted 18 July 2019 MORE SKY BS, that doesn't make any sense. BREAKING NEWS Sky sources understand Harry Maguire would be honoured to play for Manchester United and follow in the footsteps of his heroes Nemanja Vidic and Rio Ferdinand. We understand the England defender is frustrated at Leicester’s stance at the moment. United are keen on bringing in a centre-back during this transfer window but Maguire is one of several options.
filbertway Posted 18 July 2019 Posted 18 July 2019 Hahaha. Don't get wound up by that, they're clearly just saying stuff to get people talking about it.

HybridFox Posted 18 July 2019 Posted 18 July 2019 He's a Sheffield United fan. "footsteps of his heroes"
crisp packet Posted 18 July 2019 Posted 18 July 2019 This is all to unsettle is ? They didn’t like it when we won it and upset the apple cart , disgusting really no quotes ... love our club ,do not bolt under the pressure..! They just want want us to turn on Harry and force the sale ? Which part art of world record don’t they understand? We we don’t need to sell !!!!
