Who watched Maguire last season and believed he was worth £80m or is one of the best defenders in the world?

I have to be honest, I taught he was decent/good defender similar to Smalling, but never world class. I was even glad that City might be after him.

For some strange reason, that perspective has changed and I feel that he will become a top defender at United. Maybe because he is being supported by better players, but regardless his addition has given us the strongest “defensive” unit in the league.
He will definitely have a lot of defending to do, so he will either get better or get found out

Anyone else feel sorry for Slabhead that people call him Slabhead? His head isn't even that big. Poor chap.
Think it's pretty stupid and childish, to be honest.

I don't think his head is even that big. Oddly shaped though. Knew a lad in my school nicknamed "mallet head", his head was a good double what it should have been.

I remember one game, it escapes me now, it was in the early days of Lindelof when he was majorly struggling (Arsenal at home rings a bell) where Jose played Matic so deep he was practically another center back, stood next to him the whole game to help him through it, was hilarious and horrific to watch in equal measure.
Most game in his first season Lindelof was paired with Smalling because of his woefulness in the air. And being bullied by strikers.

I'm not really going overboard, I don't think he's been amazing. Smalling has been pretty poor for the last 3 seasons is all. There's a reason why everyone is rejoicing about having him out of the starting XI.
Because his playstyle is not aesthetically pleasing. That's the main reason.

He’s not slow at all. You just have to watch him make those runs with the ball to realize that speed isn’t an issue. But maybe some fans watched him turn slow and concede a few goals? I don’t know what’s the source.

I think people get a bit confused when it comes to this.

I personally feel that Maguire has a slow acceleration speed, but his top speed is fast.

Also said Foden is the most talented player he's ever coached.

I think the reason why he wasn't announced today was because of all the chaos over the Dybala/Lukaku deal.

The club will announce Maguire tomorrow and probably a new DDG contract in an attempt to try and make the fans feel better about this transfer window :houllier:

Pep has always been overly respectful to opponents, I remember him calling Welbeck one of the best in the world when we were facing his Bayern side.

I think it's more mind games then respect. He tries to create a false sense of security in the opposition.
