They’ll do what they did before, low ball, destabilise the player and make it so that we just want to get rid! We’d end up getting £65m and some add ons at best i’d wager. But £65/70 million is still a major profit from what we bought him for. As much as we don't want to sell, it's a lot of money that we could use in other places Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Maguire is in a position they actually need to improve on. Unless they go else where, I can see is getting 70mill plus. Assume Mahrez winning the league probably activated some bonuses for us.

If we do, then Brighton have as much right to ask £40m for Dunk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’re (apparently) asking for 90m i assume this reflects the fact that we would have to pay hull 15m of that and Harry would be due a loyalty bonus which could be as much as 5m ! Of course that high quote could force maguire to ask for a move in which case we save that 5mill and poss more ...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And to be honest he isn't really worth more than that and certainly quite a way off the quality of Van Dyche. He is of course a certain age making him open to improvement which is why clubs will want to buy him. With a good defensive coach he could become a lot better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think Maguire is valued at most the same as Van Dijk cost Liverpool. That was two years ago now. Transfer inflation seems to grow exponentially year on year.

Indeed... but he’s not as good, and I don’t think he’s as good as VVD was at Saints either. £65m if good enough, £75m great, anything north daylight robbery. But they won’t pay it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man City were willing to give us around that amount in the winter where the value of most players goes up as no one wnats to sell in winter then when it came to summer the price came back down . plus due to man city winning the league that fee is now 70 million Edited 8 June 2019 by Fightforever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Different players with completely different abilities and responsibilities. We demanded £90m for Mahrez because it was the last 48 hours of the window, we knew Man City didn’t need him, we had no time to sign a replacement and had absolutely no need to sell. £60m for a 27 year old winger is on reflection, a very good price. His resale value is only going to decline from here. Maguire’s 26 and as a central defender has at least another 7 years in him at this level. He’s still developing and could well hit his peak next season. We’re right to set the price at £90m - Man City won’t pay that as they don’t want to be seen as inflating the market with massive fees (instead they’ll just spend £50-60m on 19 players they don’t need).

Do you really think Maguire is even close? Mahrez goes down as one of the greatest Leicester players of all time. Maguire frankly doesn’t enter into that equation. What Man City do to players is none of my concern. They hoard signings because they can. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A huge difference between Mahrez and Mags. Only man c wanted Mahrez.but it seems Utd City and perhaps A n other are in for Mags making our hand stronger. Also Mags has not said he wants out like Mardy arse Mahrez did. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
