Yes, he's played a pre-season but I do wonder if part of that was to keep up appearances and strengthen our bargaining position. Evans and Morgan partnership for the first few games to get people up to speed - if nobody comes in as replacement. I am not entirely convinced we'll sign any more players this window.

That makes literally no sense And the wages Maguire received, we've had two years playing service out of him. We'd soon be the richest club in the world if every player we bought ended up being a break even including wages. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully they'll come in for Ndidi next summer for half a billion. As far as i'm concerned, Maguire for us isn't as indispensable as Vardy is or Mahrez was up to a point. He's also not really achieved any tangible success with us either so the thought of losing him doesn't bother me at all. That might sound callous or harsh but that's just how I feel in an era where we have experienced the most unimaginable highs and are following that up with sustained growth to the club. I thank him for his service, he will always get my support in an England shirt where I believe he is a colossus compared to what he is with us. Now give Brendan all of it and go and get Leon Bailey, Ziyech or Hirving Lozano. PAAAAARTY AND BULL SHIT I'm exactly the same. We all liked him but Mahrez, Kante, even Drinkwater going hit me more. I was more disappointed at the thought of Vardy going to Arsenal than the reality of Maguire going to Man Utd. I sense opportunity with this one. We can become a better team from this deal. Just play it right. Very big week for us. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our club have played an absolute blinder here Err yes I do, and please tell me how we have strengthened our defence. We’ve bought a lad back from Celtic who was injured for half the season and we will probably have to spend 3/4 of the Maguire profit on an older downgrade and if that don’t work out because neither him or soyunco are premiership proven, we go back to Morgan who incidentally needs a reinvestment in his legs.

mucfox Posted 2 August 2019 Share Posted 2 August 2019 The football world has gone completely crazy. 85m for a slow defensive player. Congrats to LCFC on this utterly insane but greatest deal in football history. To celebrate with the Foxes fans, the club should sell the tickets to the home game against ManUnited for 85pence... I would still offer ManU, if they might want Gray as a bonus gift.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cameron Davidson Posted 2 August 2019 Share Posted 2 August 2019 Benkovic or Soyuncu or someone else?? I liked Benkovic from watching Celtic, however he did seem a touch fragile. Soyuncu looked good but still raw..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matey. You could use last year's example of selling Mahrez for a decent figure and then finding Maddison to replace him. Given our transfer record over the past twelve months, nothing to say we can't do this again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying we have btw but the point stands. I'm also a great believer in selling players at peak value, you won't go too far wrong with this strategy.

Dames Posted 2 August 2019 Share Posted 2 August 2019 In all honesty they are paying 80m+ for a slight upgrade on Phil Jones. Maguire isn’t as injury prone and is definitely miles better with the ball but he’s prone to mistakes and lapses of concentration in the same manner as Jones. By the way when fit I think Jones is a rather good player. We’ve got a good deal out of this and I hope we don’t go out and blow it on a player who will be inflated by this fee as I think the options we have at centre half are good enough with plenty of development potential. Thanks for the service Harry. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
