He’s rebuilt his reputation, good on him. He should still be moved on but at least it’s with his head held high.
He's brilliant at winning the ball in the air, both defensively and offensively. Unfortunately he's poor at directing where it goes, both defensively and offensively.He’s aerially a monster - at least in a defensive context.
Maguire has performed very well in recent months. It's hard to know what to do with him but if a big offer of around 50m comes in for him Slab we'd have to give it serious consideration.
50m would be an amazing transfer fee but doubtful because of his wages I'd assume. Anything 35m and over would be acceptable imo.
It would be senseless to consider selling him in the summer, he’s our only reliable centre back at the moment.
Nah, he’s a good player and he’s only 31. If we sell him we need to buy at least two centre backs; Varane will likely leave, Lindelof should be sold and we don’t know what condition Martinez will be in going forward.As much as he's improved, I don't agree with that at all. Mainly because his limitations represent an impediment to how we can play. Also, because he's an ageing player with one year remaining on his contract. The smart option would IMO definitely be to sell him now, while he still has some value and before his greatest limitation (speed) gets even worse, which it inevitably will as he's heading deeper into his thirties. With serious FFP enforcement, progressively tighter limits on player spending and now the prospect of anchoring, we have to pay much, much closer attention to cost/benefit than we have been used to. Sinking major resources into declining assets who aren't a great fit with where we want to go is just not on. FFP-wise, we could actually make a tidy profit if we sell at this point. As soon as we re-commit with a new contract, that prospect is gone for a good while.

Another Muscle injury, proper investigation needed to find out why these injuries are happening to all our players.
It was already a joke, but this is now an absolute farce.
McTom and Casemiro? To channel the infamous Carrick-Fletcher combo years back?
McTominay might not be available. Casemiro & Amrabat, or something.
He’s been injured since before the Coventry game.Is Kambwala injured?
