I`m also in my 20s and I rate him. I actually think he`s our best/least flawed CB. He`s admittedly not a "stand out" CB like Ramos/VVD(not many are) or fast but he`s reliable fitness wise, more consistent with his performances(6/7 out of 10 most games) and reliable on the ball. For 80m its okay to want more but he`s improved our defence whichever way you view him hence why last season we had the most cleansheets in Europe and currently on 15 cleansheets in 23 games, he`s not by any means one of our biggest problems when we have no out out DM, no RW(Diallo could change that) and no quick CB and between him and Lindelof most managers will choose to persist with Maguire if a new CB comes in. We can with trophies with him but not as the main CB we either need a dominat CB next to him like VVD or someone like Upamecano who`s quick style of play complements Maguire well. We overpaid for him by like 30-40m but believe it or not based on circumstances he was our best option in summer 2019(De Ligt wanted CL football, Koulibaly had a 130m release clause Napoli didn`t want less, De Vrij didn`t want to leave Italy, Ruben Dias was priced around 60-70m and he`s not much if any better than Maguire)one thing this thread has told me is redcafe rates Maguire very very highly. I’m in my 20s, my social circle is predominantly football fans around the same age (Utd/City mostly) literally none of us rate Maguire anywhere near this highly.
May I ask what is so unbelievably impressive about him? Because I can’t speak for all fans, but the majority of people I know don’t think he’s good enough.
