There may have been a gentleman's agreement when he signed his new deal last summer. Just playing Devil's Advocate. Yes, it might. The only person who knows is Maguire. We might actually be doing as Vichai said and holding out for an acceptable fee. He might've said "we want £80 million". It's just very convenient that a press desperate for a move are bringing out stories like this. Thank fvck this is over in two weeks. And hopefully the next time a club wants our players we can avoid this bullshit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A thread: Subsequent to solid World Cup & PL campaigns, Harry Maguire has become the subject of interest from Manchester […]" Harry Maguire. A thread: Subsequent to solid World Cup & PL campaigns, Harry Maguire has become the subject of interest from Manchester United. The 26 year old is valued at £80 million. In this thread I will breakdown why he is valued at such & how good he is compared to the PL’s best center backs. Standing at 6ft 4 tall, Maguire’s monstrous presence & aerial ability is what makes him stand out. Maguire will undisputedly become United’s best CB upon signing adding a physical presence which United have been missing. Let’s compare him to the PL’s best CBs. Liverpool’s Virgil Van Dijk is the obvious comparison. Both stand at 6ft 4 tall & add a monstrous element to their respective defences. Currently Van Dijk is undoubtedly the best CB in the world so will be superior to Maguire in most stats last season. The point of this comparison is not to convince you that Maguire is better but rather show you how small the margins are between them. Maguire surprisingly leads Van Dijk in interceptions per game, averaging 1.2 interceptions per game compared to Van Dijk’s 1.1. Unsurprisingly, Van Dijk leads Maguire in tackles won per game with a 73.7% success rate (SR) compared to Maguire’s 54.8%. These stats suggest that Maguire does not possess the same defensive abilities as Van Dijk thus relies on positional awareness. Van Dijk on the other hand has the ability to recover with pace and excellent tackles. However, this stat can also be used to Maguire’s advantage. As famously quoted by arguably the greatest defender of all time: "If I have to make a tackle then I have already made a mistake". Furthermore, Van Dijk was dribbled past ZERO times last season compared to Maguire’s 0.2. This is not to discredit Maguire but rather highlight just how good Van Dijk is. Both share the same amount of errors leading to goal (1) & similar number of clearances per game. Van Dijk leads Maguire in duels won (per game) but only with small margins. Van Dijk averages a 76% SR compared to Maguire’s 73%. Van Dijk is stronger on the ground averaging a 80.8% SR compared to Maguire’s 64.3% whilst Maguire is stronger aerially averaging a 78.1% SR to 74.2%. The next comparison is to the "second best CB in the PL": Aymeric Laporte. Laporte averages 1.1 interceptions per game, a SR of 47.6% tackles won per game, dribbled past 0.3 times, 60% SR in duels won; 57.8% SR aerially & 62.9% SR on the ground. Laporte is also dispossessed 7.6 times per game whilst Maguire is dispossessed 0.2 times per game. Statistically, Maguire is superior to Laporte in every defensive aspect despite playing in an inferior team. Statistically speaking, Maguire is the second best CB in the league & if he can have the same impact on the United defence as Van Dijk did with Liverpool, United will be a force to be reckoned with this season. He had me at monstrous. The second one. And the 0.2 times Maguire was dribbled past. Quality writing. Edited 22 July 2019 by Trav Le Bleu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There may have been a gentleman's agreement when he signed his new deal last summer. Just playing Devil's Advocate. I know fella, was thinking more about who may have leaked and their motivation (well, it’s mega wedge) but just pegged Harry as more grounded. If it’s true then fair play and it’s also probably heavily caveated (offer, situation etc). It’s not like he’s a flash in the pan success and this is his last chance or anything, and from a timing perspective feels like it’s almost too soon (for us as Leicester fans). Caglar seems not ready and Benkovic is an unknown quantity at this time. Guess we’ll just see... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post mozartfox Posted 22 July 2019 Popular Post Share Posted 22 July 2019 Harry and his Agent need to behave. One thing Foxes fans would never accept is the name of Vichai being soiled in any way via comments about apparent Gentlemen’s agreements. This kind of tactic would be tremendously disrespectful to Top and his family and Harry would not come out of this very well. All what needs to happen is for Manure to stump up our valuation and he can go. And ‘if’ this is the work of Harry’s agent, then Harry should do the decent thing and fire the Joe Hunt. 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially if it's over a paltry £10m. I can't see them walking away because of a 15% dispute over his transfer fee. Not when their season depends on it and the difference between someone like Smalling being first choice. I think they'll want to structure it like they've saved face but I believe they'll pay up in the end as the difference isn't that great.

Whether that was majority or minority, I leave in the lap of the Banter-gods and statistic Geeks. My own thought ..legend,so damn happy he's on our books and as stayed. I do believe he has a big following,but I really wouldn't know how it falls. And he's more than a workhorse,he's created alot of assists and actual chances that have and haven't been converted... I sympathise with your last sentence,but I don't go in for comparisons,or picking out who is more useful..Albrighton has been longer succeeding & helping/part of , building on our ethos,character and successfull modern period of the clubs history...Scored our 1st goal in the CL.. Maguire added to it,..So I won't compare They are both part of how we have developed for totally different reasons. I will stick my neck out and say if this squad has a built in soul,then Vardy,Albrighton,WES,Kasper are the big parts of it,with Chills close in their wake. And all not because of lack of any skills!! I'm never going to argue about how much I love the guy mate he's one of my faves and as you say is one who will go down in history for the title win the great escape and the champions league goals. All I was saying was in reference to someone saying he was more vital than Maguire which I disagree with. Albrightons end product is at times second rate but he will continue to be an important squad player for us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abuse is fully deserved IMO. Why are you singling out this guy? Just because you don't like the paper he works for? The 'story' has done the rounds for a while - various journalists have written it in various papers. Should we not be gunning for all of them? PS I don't really like the tone of the stories, even if they are true. But equally I understand why papers print it. It's not disrespectful to Vichai's memory IMHO but it's an awkward read all the same. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
