Leicester want a world record fee. Man Utd have definitively bid £40m. Leicester want at least £65m. Man City and Leicester City have definitively agreed a fee of £65m. Man Utd have definitively offered £80m and will pay him £350k a week. Man City have definitively offered £80m and will pay him £280k a week. But Leicester want at least £80m. Leicester have definitively already offered Brighton £40m for Dunk. Leicester have definitively already offered Brighton £40m for Duffy. Maguire likes an Instagram post then tweets that he didn’t mean it Man Utd and Leicester have definitively agreed a fee of £70m plus add ons and a medical is booked. Man City have bid £80m again. Definitively. Leicester have definitively rejected that offer and want £80m minimum. Maguire’s good luck tweet to the Lionesses is then seen as a coded message about joining Man Utd. Man Utd have definitively offered £70m, which we have rejected. Leicester want £90m. Man Utd have offered £60m+£20m in add-ons BREAKING NEWS AFTER THE BREAK! STAY WITH US ON SKY SPORTS NEWS!! .... The breaking news is that there’s no new news. Maguire definitively throws a strop and storms out of Leicester’s training camp in Évian 3 days after they left. Leicester have accepted a bid that is way under their valuation. Maguire will have his medical tomorrow. Maguire will have his medical this week. Maguire will have his medical next week. Maguire is playing in Leicester’s pre season friendlies. RedCafe are believing Sean from Enderby tweets. Guardiola has managed to correctly identify who Maguire plays for. Rodgers has made it clear that nobody has bid anywhere near and that there’s going to be a cut off date as there’s three weeks to go. The things in bold are what has actually happened. Everything else is FAKE NEWS! It’s almost as if they have something to gain from literally making shit up. ? déjà vu

Guest Col city fan Posted 18 July 2019 Posted 18 July 2019 On 16/07/2019 at 13:39, lcfcfan97 said: John Percy (very credible Midlands Journo for the Telegraph) has said this: "Caglar Soyuncu, a Turkey international signed for £19million from Freiburg last year, is highly rated inside the club while Filip Benkovic played for Rodgers on loan at Celtic last year. Reports of a move for Brighton’s Lewis Dunk or Burnley’s James Tarkowski are said to be premature." "United are reluctant to pay a fee which will be higher than the £75million Liverpool paid Southampton for Virgil van Dijk in January last year and it is understood the two clubs are still some way from agreeing a deal. Leicester want between £80m and £90m and have made that clear during negotiations. Manchester City have also baulked at Leicester’s demands, and Maguire is now facing an anxious wait before the transfer deadline on August 8. Leicester, however, have assured the 26 year old they will not stand in his way if either of the two clubs pay the fee required. Talks are understood to have been amicable and Leicester do not anticipate any mutiny from Maguire, who is a popular member of the dressing room." I suspect that if and when any club pays an astronomical amount for Maguire, they’ll be paying not only for Harry, the player, but Harry the leader. He’s liked. Well respected and commands a presence both on and off the pitch. To be honest, exactly the type of figure Man Utd desperately need at the moment. I can see him as a future England skipper

mozartfox Posted 18 July 2019 Posted 18 July 2019 Sky Sports News is amazing ; 'We understand that......' 'We have been told that …...' What bolloxs that...…..
Dan Posted 18 July 2019 Posted 18 July 2019 The whole thing is one big self-fulfilling prophecy. Sky Sports have shown themselves up for what they are now.

Buzzell Posted 18 July 2019 Posted 18 July 2019 £80m-£90m for Maguire. Wow. Fair play to the club for holding out. If Man City or Utd really want him then they better cough up the cash.
nnfox Posted 18 July 2019 Posted 18 July 2019 Sky Sports News have just spoken for 5 minutes about Maguire's desire to join Utd and that "his camp" are now going to change tactics because they are frustrated about a deal not being sorted yet. Utd know the price. Pay it and he's yours. It's Utd that are the problem here. THE VERY NEXT ARTICLE from them was about Lukaku's proposed move to Inter Milan. Utd want £79m but Inter have only offered £65m... "They're going to have to do better than that, they know the price". There wasn't even an ad break between them. You literally couldn't make this stuff up!
Matt Posted 18 July 2019 Posted 18 July 2019 Do the Sky presenters realise how ironic and hypocrtical they sound? So they go on about the Maguire situation, almost making Leicester out to be the bad party in this situation saying things like "Leicester want £80 but they have to understand that when a club like Man Utd come calling and are offering £70m is it that much of a bad deal?" they go on. Attention then turns towards Lukaku and Inter Milan, basically saying why should Man Utd accept Inter's bid of around £10m - £15m less than their asking price citing such statements of "Man Utd don't need to sell", they also claim Inter are playing underhand tactics by offering such a lowball offer, causing Lukaku to become unsettled.
Master Fox Posted 18 July 2019 Posted 18 July 2019 Sky Sports is the lowest common denominator in the media. It’s TV for imbeciles, cretins and morons.
wattolcfc Posted 18 July 2019 Posted 18 July 2019 We could do with someone in the media calling sky sports out for their hypocrisy in regards to the Maguire/Lukaku transfers.... MR PETERS YOUR CLUB NEEDS YOU! ??

Itsthejoeker Posted 18 July 2019 Posted 18 July 2019 They’re clearly just pushing the SkyBet market for this, absolutely disgusting.

I’m ridiculously sick of Sky Sports, really really sick of them. 10-12 years ago they were a genuinely good source of information for football and their transfer coverage was fantastic. In fact, they were the first port of call when looking for a reputable football news source. However, last 5 years or so their agenda has altered somewhat and they’re now obsessed with providing shocking transfer articles based on sheer lies that push mug punters into backing their SkyBet offers. The whole Harry Maguire coverage is frankly a joke and it’s disappointing that the majority of the footballing world won’t realise how much of their Maguire stories are lies. How can it be illegal for footballers to not be allowed to bet on football but Sky can constantly make up stories to boost Skybet products? Couple that with their big club bias and social media activity that expands these lies into genuine rumours that people believe and it’s just a joke of an organisation.

Md9 Posted 18 July 2019 Posted 18 July 2019 Honestly hope he stays for at least this season as a big f**k off to Utd. They are in the shit and everyone knows it so they will hold out for as much money as they can get because they know the longer they hold off the bigger the bid will have to be when Utd get even more desperate than they already are. hope they go into next season with only jones and smalling as there cbs. They will moan that they won’t get what they want for pogba or Lukaku then try being shits to other teams.

The whole problem is compounded by the way the Premier League clubs operate which is food & drink for Sky. For example Maguire signed a 4-5 year contract months ago, but actually the majority of players who sign these long contracts have no loyalty to their clubs and at the first opportunity, big pay rise they are off. Surely it would make more sense to have 12 month rolling contract which must be adhered to

weller54 Posted 18 July 2019 Posted 18 July 2019 Wish this saga would get done and dusted... Get the 75/80m in, wave him goodbye and invest the money in a quality winger.

The clubs are who we support and players come and go, support them while they’re here because they are part of the club but once they’ve gone they are history as far as I’m concerned, unless it’s someone me like the birch who actually loves the club
Joefox Posted 18 July 2019 Posted 18 July 2019 At this point I hope we sell him to Man City for 40 million just to troll them.
