Castles has been spot on on several news regarding us for some time now.since when did Duncan castles and the sun become a reliable source?
Same. Now the recruitment team can move on to midfielders.Looking forward to Bruno's corners onto MacGuire's head. And AWB and MacGuire helping bring the ball out of defense. It's a big upgrade.
John Stones starts for England. Only Rojo in our team is a worse defender than Stones.Some people in here are criminally under rating Maguire, the comments saying hes not better or not much better than Smalling and Jones are hilarious, whens the last time those two got near an england squad??? Can anyone tell me what english centrebacks are in front of Jones and Smalling?..
Maguires a top 5 centre back in this league, hes englands best centre back , get your heads out your arse, Jones and Smalling are massive weaknesses in this team, Maguire is a huge improvement on them.
With Magure and Wan Bissaka we ve improve our defence hugely
He has. Underrated. Great podcast too.Castles have been spot on on several news regarding us for some times now.
We need to stop thinking that Maguire will be anything like VVD. That one is a pipe dream. But Maguire is a proven, solid defender, known entity in the context of Premier League, and he will be able to improve the worst defensive line of last year's league. So, for us given the choices - low risk, clear-ish win. Is that worth 80M? Well, if it isn't then we should have bought Diop, but rumor has it West Ham refused to sell Diop so - what can you do when that happens?We always seem to win our bidding wars with City. The players however end up being useless ( Sanchez, Fred) and City have the last laugh! Maguire to break the mould or follow suit?
I dont care if any of them leave.I’d rather keep Bailly and offload Jones or Rojo. Still think Bailly can contribute.
Bailly is a 25 year old who has struggled a bit with his fitness over the last two years. Why are we so ready to move him on? Between he, Jones and Rojo, Bailly still has the highest ceiling and is younger than the other two by two years. He has needed pace. I’d like the club retain his services to see if he can turn it around once he’s fully fit.Not convinced it improves us hugely but we did need a 3rd reliable CB along with Lindelof and Smalling. Hopefilly Rojo and Bailly get moved on
Spend it on.. what? And who? This notion of spending money to spend needs to stop.Think the part in bold in is something which may irritate a few fans, the fact that we could spend that much money but don't.
No plane tracking need. Just look up in the sky and search for his giant slab head that looks kind of like a hot air balloon.He’s in France at preseason training. Time to track planes.
That's how I see it. The good thing is that even though the fee is steep, the player is alright.Take the hit, move on. For his flaws, he has obvious qualities that will improve us.
When we signed Lukaku, I believe we also said among ourselves that he belonged to top 5 strikers in the Premier League. So I'm still skeptical regarding these "top in the league" label. Don't forget Sanchez also got "top 5 attackers in the league" attached to his name.Some people in here are criminally under rating Maguire, the comments saying hes not better or not much better than Smalling and Jones are hilarious, whens the last time those two got near an england squad???

Few things in life are as reliable as the unreliability of The Sun.Is the Sun reliable?
Agreed although Rojo actually has a worse injury record since 14/15 compared to Phil Jones.How can you not mention Jones and fitness issues in the same sentence?
He can but can’t be relied upon. Had three seasons to do that and failedI’d rather keep Bailly and offload Jones or Rojo. Still think Bailly can contribute.
More to the point, in a world where AWB gets signed for an initial 45m it seems entirely reasonable that Maguire would cost an initial 60m.in all honesty, in a market where Tyrone frigging Mings costs up to 26m ... it's not that bad of a deal.
Leicester make out like bandits, but I still think Maguire would be excellent for us. AWB-Lindelof-Maguire-Shaw is a decent back 4 with a lot of upside still.
Our local paper is reporting it as agreedDone? Good. Very good.
Are you sure? It seems to have been judged reliable enough for a second threadmark and a title change.Few things in life are as reliable as the unreliability of The Sun.
Let’s not forget John Stones cost £50m 3 years ago and Kyle Walker cost £50m 2 years ago. All before this insane inflation.More to the point, in a world where AWB gets signed for an initial 45m it seems entirely reasonable that Maguire would cost an initial 60m.
