The reason Kompany is going is because of his legs slowing... He's obviously not going to sign Harry to fix that! 

 

They have high hopes for Eric Garcia who played well against us in the League Cup, and already have Laporte, Stones and Otamendi. They might get another, but if they are spending £60-80m it'll be on De Ligt.

I don’t think they will agree to pay Riola’s fee

 

would be surprised for Harry to go somewhere he is not going to be one of the top two centre halves ..... he can see what’s happened to stones there .....

Kompany and Otamendi aren't the quickest either and never were. If Maguire's pace was a serious issue he would be found out by now, not be a top half PL defender and an England international.

That’s not the point (I’m not slating Maguire’s abilities btw) why would Pep go and buy someone who he has targeted for his weaknesses in the past? They have all the money in the world I’m sure they can find someone who pep wants more or god forbid why don’t they promote some youth

Him going to Man City over United would be better for him and England National but probably not the best for the League.

 

We'd want huuuge money though £80m - in the right system he's a gem and helps massively defending set pieces which now it's one of our strong points. Even if Pep knows his faults he would know Harry's strengths just as well, I wouldn't rule it out because of that.

 

Either way cough up or we'll eventually raise his contract for another year. He's a unique talent we just haven't really utilised him fully, I'm not overly convinced by Caglar or Benko yet either.

£75m.

I personally think Liverpool will cone sniffing to, they’re supposedly interested In De Ligt if they don’t get him, I could see them coming for Big H.

But he's alright on the ball and dribbles well with it, which would suit Man City's style well.

[st albans fox]

I could play centre half for Man City and look comfortable ........

[Guest SO1]

Foden on loan and cash from M City? Am I back at Celtic now.

[reynard]

Would Man City pay what we want though? All their signings are in the 40-60million range (Mahrez is their transfer record) and they didn't want to pay any more. Obviously the market has moved on but they baulked at wage requests etc in the past. They spend a lot of money obviously but haven't yet spent as much on a sinlge player as either Liverpool or Man Utd. Not sure they would pay the 75-80 million we would be after.

Prefer selling him to man city tbh over utd.  Suits their style of play and not selling to a potential rival. No loan players back from man city as we can use our money to buy a player who is ours and we can develop for our benefit.

De Ligt will be the replacement

The market is crazy, but we're not selling him for more than what van Dijk was sold for

He wants a lot of gametime, doubt he'll find it at Man City

The club would happily sell at 60 million pounds I'd imagine.

Don5 believe so

 

we've already been told that the club have no intention of selling without an obscene offer being placed ....... that could simply be posturing but it’s been said by the ITK’s on here rather than a ‘public declaration’ via off the record journo briefing ........

I think he would do, Pep would pick him from the off.

Stops their rivals from strengthening.

 

Just like Mahrez, Maguire would improve Man Utd, Arsenal, Chelsea, etc.

£65m I would imagine will be our asking price.

20 pages in. Any actual evidence of any substantial interest? asking for a friend

Man City don't have many options at centre half. Laporte, Stones and Otamendi who may also be off. Its evident De Ligt or whoever they sign will be first choice otherwise they are weaker as a result.

Hope they make Harry Captain and keep him here for at least another season, Europe or maybe a nice Cup win could be within our grasp if we can hold this team together...
