His frustrations? He's a sick note that can't stay fit consistently enough to challenge Lindelof. It's been 4 seasons of more or less the same thing. Let him leave. We've been lucky Lindelof and Maguire have been fit, since our backup (Eric) needs a backup himself.Honestly, when he's fit he's much better than Lindelof. Yet it's Lindelof who's always first choice. I can understand his frustrations.
Lindelof is consistently fit and you need that continuity in the backline. Lindelof is the better defender imo but it doesnt even matter when the other guy is barely fit once a month.Honestly, when he's fit he's much better than Lindelof.

Spot on. Maguires appearance record alone justifies the fee, when combined with the fact that he probably is the best English defender!People need to appreciate Maguire more just based on the fact that he has been available for every single game since he signed for us.
A far cry from the sicknote defenders we've had over the years.
He isn't. He is stronger physically but that's it.Honestly, when he's fit he's much better than Lindelof. Yet it's Lindelof who's always first choice. I can understand his frustrations.
What utter nonsense, there are other CBs who have been fit all season who would have cost far lessSpot on. Maguires appearance record alone justifies the fee, when combined with the fact that he probably is the best English defender!
No he is not. When he is fit he is a liability more often than not and very rashHonestly, when he's fit he's much better than Lindelof. Yet it's Lindelof who's always first choice. I can understand his frustrations.

Cmon, he's ironed out a lot of that rashness and is much more assured as a defender than he was a few years ago. Maybe it is for the best that he leaves, but Bailly's weaknesses are no more pronounced than Lindelof's, who has been massively inconsistent this season (and for his entire career here). Bailly has been too, but his top level performances have been higher. He's just never been able to properly get going due to his glacial bone structure.No he is not.

We concede more goals per game with Maguire Bailly then Maguire Lindelof. Even though the latter play in more difficult games. Yet Bailly is apparently better.

Yeah, I'm not really a fan of Maguire but his fitness record alone makes him valuable. A competent CB who is literally always available - as long as he doesn't punch random Greeks - is a nice thing to have after our experiences with Rojo, Jones, Bailly and the like.People need to appreciate Maguire more just based on the fact that he has been available for every single game since he signed for us.
