Deeg67 Posted 20 May 2019 Share Posted 20 May 2019 (edited) 65 million - it'd be foolish to turn that down. It makes so much sense to sell now, and use Evans, Caglar and Benkovic with Morgan and another cheap vet for cover. But Harry has taken on a certain totemistic value for the club, which I certainly understand, and makes him tougher to sell. Hey - I'd miss those bull in a china shop bombing runs from the back too.

Through selling players on and taking the money. Investing in youth for the academy and to compete for places in the first team. It's why its so important to have the best development and scouting teams. We're going to be selling players to the rich clubs every summer and in order for that to work we need to crate a conveyor belt of young talent. I'm thinking if were going to be successful we should expect a turnover every three to four years. yes - all the top six sides sell their best players each year ............. tell me a club this has worked for (and don’t say spurs as they had to sell bale and Walker who both wanted to leave). If harry asks asks to leave then I accept that and Man City have to pay 75/80 million (remember we owe hull 15%) but if he is content to stay and and leaves it up to us to decide then we should stick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrysalis Posted 20 May 2019 Share Posted 20 May 2019 rather we sell to man utd, given they underpaid for mahrez. given our finances, two loans, secured on mahrez money and next two seasons tv money I think maguire going is a given to be honest. Getting loans secured on something you dont have not something that has me thrilled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Why would pep want Harry? Because pep talks shite. Pep also said after the Jan window they no longer wanted Mahrez. But low and behold they still came back for him. 90% of peps comments are to un settle teams/players before games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
st albans fox Posted 20 May 2019 Share Posted 20 May 2019 I also wonder about the apparent cooling of yanited’s interest ..... perhaps they’ve been told by his people he won’t go there cos he has bigger fish to fry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewquayFox Posted 20 May 2019 Share Posted 20 May 2019 I would imagine Hull City will receive a large percentage of whatever Maguires final sell on fee is (if we do actually sell) Would much prefer him to stay... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJB-fox Posted 20 May 2019 Share Posted 20 May 2019 Quality footballer keep keep keep. Once one of this current crop goes it might turn a few heads from within the camp. Many on here quick to sell Maguire but I think he’d be missed more than you think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a difference between us accepting their offer and allowing the player to speak to them and us refusing their offer until they meet a figure we deem acceptable. If Harry decides he wants to move then he likely forgoes some bonus’s and incentives which could be significant. So harry could decide its in its in his financial interest to stay another season and then have several clubs fight over him with larger personal terms ....

Finnegan Posted 20 May 2019 Share Posted 20 May 2019 Maguire and Chilwell out for a combined 100m. Benkovic*, Tielemans, Telles in leaves plenty still left for a winger and a back up forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he can be. Stones before he went to Man City was a total liability but now probably the best English CB. Working with Pep will improve Maguire drastically. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Kompany can still start games Maguire should be fine. They don't even care if they spend £65m and have players sat on the bench. They just want a ridiculous squad that can compete in and win the lot. They aren't far away at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fightforever Posted 20 May 2019 Share Posted 20 May 2019 If selling maguire means we get tielemans and a proper quality winger (someone like sarr) than let it be imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
