Not sure they're that worried tbh. They had a terrible season and still finished loads of points ahead of us
foxfanazer Posted 2 July 2019 Posted 2 July 2019 Just now, Viva said: It's not really though is it. If he shows ability for England to be one of the world's best defenders, then a good manager should be able to get that out of him here. When has he shown the ability to be one of the worlds best defenders?
Dames Posted 2 July 2019 Posted 2 July 2019 He had an average season last season but that's not to say he wouldn't improve this year and have a belter. He'll be missed of course but if we can get close to 100m for him then it would make sense to let him go and focus on other areas - we have depth at CB.
kingfox Posted 2 July 2019 Posted 2 July 2019 18 minutes ago, Viva said: So you would be very happy settling for a player not as good as Maguire? Also we would have to pay a fortune for any of those players. Tbh yes, why? Because even though they may not be as good, they are good enough to step up in class to a team that has top six aspirations like ourselves. Losing Maguire wouldn't be like losing Kante or Mahrez, Maguire would be more easy to replace. Prices are ridiculous nowadays, if it means forking out 30-40 million for them then so be it.

Vindaloo FOX Posted 2 July 2019 Posted 2 July 2019 bye Harry, take the money and i pray we invest smartly .

Haywood_6 Posted 2 July 2019 Posted 2 July 2019 We don't need another CB if Harry goes. Soyuncu and Benkovic can fight it out to play alongside Evans.
foxfanazer Posted 2 July 2019 Posted 2 July 2019 Just now, TJB-fox said: He really wasn’t. He really was. How many early goals did we concede where one of the centre halves (sometimes Maguire) had lost their man.
mozartfox Posted 2 July 2019 Posted 2 July 2019 Just now, Haywood_6 said: We don't need another CB if Harry goes. Soyuncu and Benkovic can fight it out to play alongside Evans. Yep. Agree. Use the money in more needy areas instead of stock-piling CB's.

Definitely. How long is it before we’re seen as a selling club like Southampton by letting Kante, Drinkwater, Mahrez & then Maguire go in the space of 4 seasons. I don’t see Rivals trying to negotiate for Richarlison or Neves. If the teams around us are keeping their best players, we need to do the same.

He might’ve been suspect to his own high standards and what we’ve come to expect from him but he was still very good for us last season.

GingerrrFox Posted 2 July 2019 Posted 2 July 2019 Heard through the grapevine that Brendan wants to look at Amartey in the centre back role. He’s mainly played CB for Ghana and could be an interesting option to keep an eye on during pre-season.
foxfanazer Posted 2 July 2019 Posted 2 July 2019 Just now, Viva said: At the World Cup. Yeah he kept those Panama strikers quiet to be fair

Agree to disagree I do like Harry though and he's been a great signing for us. The money being touted is the most he's ever gonna be worth and he is replaceable. I also like how he's conducted himself so far with all this transfer talk
North Leeds Fox Posted 2 July 2019 Posted 2 July 2019 4 minutes ago, mozartfox said: Yep. Agree. Use the money in more needy areas instead of stock-piling CB's. I wonder whether we would have a look at someone like weigl who we could use as a dm when we are playing at home against a team we don't need wilf for as they are just defending and someone who is just as capable at cb if we have an injury crisis.
kingfox Posted 2 July 2019 Posted 2 July 2019 Just now, Haywood_6 said: We don't need another CB if Harry goes. Soyuncu and Benkovic can fight it out to play alongside Evans. Yes we do. We have top six aspirations, we can't rely on two inexperienced players in Benkovic and Soyuncu, those two need more time to develop. Buying someone like Dunk, Tarkowski or Lascelles would see us set for the future, one of those would make a strong partnership with Evans. Benkovic and Soyuncu can develop, by the 2020/2021 season they'll more than likely be ready, Wes will probably retire or get released. That would then leave us with Dunk/Tarkowski/Lascelles, Evans, Benkovic and Soyuncu as our CB options, every club needs two players per position, those as our RCB or LCB options look pretty good to me.
AllGoneTitsSchlupp Posted 2 July 2019 Posted 2 July 2019 I think we're best equipped to lose Slab, of any of our players. Last summer we bought his replacement(s). I reckon if we get an offer of £80m we should probably gerrimout.
