85m :lol: He gets absolutely mullered on the counter every time we play Leicester, unbelievable fee.

Couldn't give less of a shit about the money. Poor old Glazers can't buy a new mansion now. Boohoo.

However it is going to get annoying constantly having people refer to him as the most expensive defender of all time, and any mistake he makes will be magnified by 1000. Hope he can handle the pressure.
He is worth the premium to save the 'mistakes' Smalling would make under VAR!

I'll repeat what I said the other day, in 2 seasons maximum Harry Maguire will be being talked about in the same conversations of top class CBs as VVD
He's not worth £85m but he's a very good defender which we desperately needed.

You'll get people moaning on here, but I'm very happy with it.

Who is the Maguire replacement?

Seems a bit expensive for what yer getting no? That one photo of him looking at the girl in the stands is pretty cool though.

English and also due to the fee we paid Southampton for Van Dijk. If we'd signed Van Dijk for something like 50 million then I'd expect Maguire would only be going for about 60.

It's done. Even BBC confirmed it.

Great signing. AWB and him will solve most of our defense issues.

He's nowhere near VVD's level. If people put that sort of pressure in him because of the gargantuan fee then they'll be severely disappointed.

We're completely overpaying for what is a good, but not amazing upgrade on our defense.

Good news. Get Dybala and Fernandes in and this has been a great summer - easily the best since we signed RVP

Ridiculous money absolutely mad. Decent player but wow. I just hope the money doesn't affect his performances.

For sure he will have to prove himself or could get slaughtered by fans and the media. I mean look at pogba

Good signing who completes a solid back four in front of De Gea. Him and Lindelof both being confident playing out from the back will be good to watch.

Happy with this. He might not personally be worth £85m but a having a good CB can be worth way more than £85m to us in the long run.

Got his info from the Wallace and Percy*

Journalists at least show some integrity and congratulate their peers for getting major breaking news instead of jumping on the bandwagon.

Looks like a press briefing. Still Dawson is a fraud.

Insane money, but in the end it doesn't matter because he instantly improves us.

We are robbed. But feck it, he is still a good player if we bought him for 55m. We overpaid him by 30m. But feck it. He is still good player.
