He will be good addition if we can pull it off, all things considered.

Yeah I really don’t see us signing him and thank feck for that.
Weren't the Portuguese fans making fun of the shape of his head?
Much the same way we do
It might have been Vardy's idea too.
Slabhead.

Press is as knowledgeable as the itch on my behind.
Would be formidable wouldn't it.
What would you say are the chances of signing another player from a relegated side, and have the season Robertson is having? People love to use one off situation to point out that you can get something on the cheap, not saying how hard it will be to get similar transfer in.
Something like, you don't need to spend money to win the PL, like Leicester did, not pointing out that it's one off that will likely happen again once every 100 years.
On the Maguire case, only reason why I would prefer him over De Ligt is that he is more mature and with a bit more PL experienced. De Ligt is quite inexperienced, breaks defense line too often, makes rush decisions. Seems like he wants to live up to the hype. He might improve the decision making with time, but I'm not sure we have the time to wait for a youngster to develop for year or two. I know, I know, Jones and Smalling.
One of the things I've noticed with De Light is that often he goes chasing the CF, leaving acres of space between him and his defensive partner, something that Spurs noticed and used to score 2 goals down the middle.
Wan-Bissaka - Maguire - Lindelof - Shaw
I think that's a very decent defence.

Doesn't maguire play on the left side. Allowing Lindelof to play on his favoured right side
If we end up buying this guy, people on here going to be shocked when Maguire replaces Lindelof instead of Smalling.
Not sure you can be shocked with United's,on and off field, decisions nowadays.
He is good on the ball, we can only dream of one of our Cbs playing the below passes against City. His acceleration and reading of defensive situations is what worries me. Him and Smalling would be decent don't see him and Lindelof having enough speed especially if we want squeeze up the pitch and press more.

Surely Koulibaly has already been crossed off? If not, then do we really prefer Maguire to him?
Maguire has also been crossed off, Tuanzebe and Fosu-Mensah joins us again when pre-season starts, they will be given a chance before splashing big on a new CB.
He seems to enjoy a big hoof upfield.
Ole's transfer policy seems to be the grand total of "are they English?", "are they relatively young?", and "do they look pretty good?" so far.
Keep in mind when he played under Claude Puel he wasn't encouraged to play out from the back as much. When he plays for England or for Leicester since Rodgers took over he's given more freedom. He's superb at bringing the ball out and a very good passer of the ball. Basically what we lack.
Depends on the fee he would be a great addition. So 10m + Jones & Rojo?
Kind of a jump there. The statement is based on rumors. But very selective rumors. You could just as easily go the opposite route considering we're also linked to rabiot, Bruno, Felix, de ligt, Koulibaly, muenier and oblak..
So..not English...not just young..not just pretty good looking...
As if we are going to try Fosu Mensah at CB next season.
Maguire, Koulibaly or somebod of that quality is a must
I mean, I’d rather Maguire than no-one. I’m open to Axel staying, however I can’t help feel a loan would be better for him instead of being 5th choice here and playing hardly ever.
His first and only signing is Welsh.
He's good in the air, given our defending of set pieces this year I'd take him just for that!
He's a good defender but really not sure how he'll hold up in terms of consistency throughout the season, especially when the spotlight is on his performance week in week out. As for a price benchmark we should consider that 75 million got pool VVD and if we could expect performances of a similar level .

How often do you see Virgil use his pace, as compared to say Bailly, the answer is rarely, because he is able to read the game, look at the game between us and Juventus backline, there defender were not speed merchants, but intelligent enough to read the flow of the game.
Joachim is a good shout.
I can't believe the new McGuire thread has got to 11 pages without me even noticing.
Your forum name appears accurate
Shocking post!
Beat me to it. Seems the anti-English brigade aren’t even literate enough to know that Wales is a different country!
On talk sport drive with Adrian Durham and Darren Gough they were discussing about maguire and said he should leave if ManCity comes claling but stay at Leicester if UTD are the only club made an offer, I was so furious and same time felt so sad as it made me realise how far we have fallen behind.
They might be right but as a UTD fan I couldn't take it ….Please god do something and make our club great again. If players like Harry Maguire think twice joining UTD then something seriously wrong at my club.

Oh yeah, sorry... "British".
lolz.
I'm Welsh.
that's a lie
Seriously though is it not a little concerning that most of the players we've had actual proper concrete links to are just British and relatively young, so far? I'm all for signing more home-grown players but surely our vast scouting network can do a bit more. We'll see.
I'd be happy if we signed Maguire. We need a ball playing centre back, and the acquisition of Maguire would make our build up play a lot better. Not only has he got the ability to find a player in between the lines, he also has the ability to drive up the pitch and beat the press if/when needed.
Adrian Durham and Darren Gough have bills to play. They want you to give them a bell and argue with them.
In pretty sure we are signing Bruno Fernandes for one.
You've probably searched for the wrong name.
Wohoooo.
He’s an interesting player. Look good for Portugal last night. Crazy stats last season in Portugal and has high work rate. Definitely seems worth a punt to me.
At least that would be a 'transfer policy', currently we don't have one.
Couldn’t agree more.
This fee is making me appreciate Denayer's season and wonder if we shouldn't try him instead.
