One is a team game while the International game somehow wasn't? Some logic there buddy!

Both those players are being well coached and Foden is learning from some of the best in the world. I just still have worries about Ole. That is the crux of the matter with me I'm afraid. I think the intentions are right, but not sure he is up to it. I will be happy if he proves me wrong.
Rojo, Jones and Darmian, direct swap....quick shake hands...oh ok £30m cash on top!
We need a couple of leaders to bring the best out in these youngsters.
Maguire would be fine for defence, but we need a midfield general also.

This is mental he isn't worth 70mil and they have the audacity to reject it, move on Ole f#ck Leicester.
This just isn't true though is it, did you even watch the games? They were not technically outclassed by any side they played. I'd argue they were technically better than all the sides they played. Croatia passed it fairly decently too but were still second best in possession 60 vs 40% and in team pass completion 92 vs 84% but France were a team of athletes and Romania were a counter attacking team. Romania's man of the match against England, Hagi, got 15 touches in the whole game.
England were undone by idiotic individual defensive mistakes and by wasting countless chances at the other end.
The hope is that Pogba will stay for that role.
Reguilón on loan to Sevilla.

I do not have a problem with AWB, but Klopp makes a hell of a difference to that Liverpool team with regards Mane and Robertson. If we had not fallen away last season we might have managed to get Sancho, going for the best out there, exciting players. I am probably more worried about the players who are established in our team than any coming in. They are the ones who are not good enough and not sure some are a good influence either. Pre-season will show us if any of our kids are ready to step up. People keep bigging up Gomes and Chong, I am probably more interested in the likes of Tanner, Williams etc.
Waste of time. Just give Tuanzebe the chance or buy Koulibaly or Ruben Dias as either best in class or high potential. Maguire is barely worth £50m, £70m is a very generous offer. Leicester can invest in other players that will have little impact on their potential positioning/ cup runs.
Maguire is not a world class defender. He is a solid reliable, no thrills defender. That shouldn't come with a massive premium.
That was quick
Fecks sake
Which would make him the best defender we have.
I really don't think so mate. His heart is not here anymore.
Bid for slabhead rejected. Offering 70mil was more than generous. Move on to the next target please
70m for maguire is just unreal. They also rejected it which is just ridiculous
Move on the prem is not the place to buy players.

I agree but I think the club and Ole have hopes to persuade him otherwise.
Well that Maguire bid was short lived . Encouraging to see there's movement on the transfer front at least.
. Encouraging to see there's movement on the transfer front at least.If he has a season like he had last year again, then yes! he has proven something.
We are in such a state now, considering the size of the club, we should be getting into the Champions League every season. Not waiting on players like Longstaff and Dan James to blossom, when they probably won't even blossom! Fine if we are flying and competing, but we're not, we need players who are young but established and the right fit in the right positions. Quick fix players with potential. Is Ceballos one? Yes. Is Longstaff? No.
70m is the max. We will be idiots if we make another bid.
Yeah I think things are going to get a little sour between the two after that.
Realistically he's worth around half of that. Leicester can feck off if they think they'll get a world record fee for slab head.
To be honest I feel like Maguire will change his mind and push for a transfer if another 1-2 bids get rejected...as much as he feels grateful towards Leicester, he can make a lot more money here and achieve more from a footballing aspect as well.
I don't know who is crazier, us for the offer or them for turning it down. What's the reported figure City were offering?
There has to be better options. There's half a dozen French CBs that are young and highly rated. Are none of them an option?

So if we's not worth at least 35m? What do you consider him being worth?
Panic button pressed. Same money would have landed him last year and fulfilled Mourinho's wishes and not had a season down the drain and Europa league finish. Wonder why we didn't bid for koulibaly last summer before him signing a new contract.
If we did start bidding with 70m, we'll probably go up to 75-80..
They get to say world record fee.. We'll probably structure it.
Crazy money.

Yeah signing CB would have saved all the meltdown.

Wonder why any club didn't bid for Koulibaly last season. Maybe there is a hint if you look.
I understand your point - he'd go back to Real Madrid a better player if we developed him. (I believe that's your point, anyway? Please feel free to correct me.).
BUT - what if he develops with us, and then he loves Manchester and wants to stay? What if he's superior to what we have right now, would improve us next season and then we get into the Champions League? He leaves, but he leaves us in a better position than when he started? I know short-term thinking isn't ideal. particularly as we've had 7 years in a row of short-termism. But surely we must think about the coming season as well? We can't simply continue to write off our upcoming seasons, as we did last year. We need quality, regardless of age and country of origin, and we need it right now.
I say he's worth half on ability,adf the fact that he's an English player playing for a Premier league aside,theres always gonna be an extra premium to be paid so I'd pay 50m max for him.
Leicester can go ahead and keep him and lose him for much less than the 70m they just rejected in the future when the 2 Manc sides aren't interested anymore.
On Maguire the only upgrade I see is he'd score a couple more goals a season over Jones or Smalling. 70M+ just seems crazy.
I hate it when a player doesn't leave to leave
Spurs getting Ndombele for 70m and us bidding 70m for Maguire and getting the bid rejected shows why we NEED to shop elsewhere, preferably in France where there are 10 central defenders better than Maguire we can get for less than 50m right fecking now.
Yeah that's my point. Re you next paragraph, if we had option to buy then it will be a good deal, not as a dry loan. If he develops well, Madrid won't sell him and player won't push for a transfer from Madrid, after all he is Spanish player and it's their dream to play for Madrid.
If ceballos is the difference between us finishing top 4 and outside it, then we are in deep shit. He isn't Messi, just one more talented young player.
Name them.
Give him 5 minutes.. He needs to check the Fifa ratings and fire up his FM Scout Genie.

Stuff like that makes no sense
We wanna pay the Alderweireld release clause, but he's one of our most promising stars as a sweetner...Just because
80 million on Maguire. He better be an absolutely top CB for that fee.
