Thank you very much Leicester City

[LazyRed-Ninja]

For one of the... if not

Biggest transfer robbery of all time..

That blunder of a header to de Gea was the start of the collapse against Spurs. 1-1

Kane, got all the space he wanted for that pass which should have never left his foot with Maguire in front of him.. 2-1

Team totally demoralized after that.. frustration Martial.. silly red card..

Done and dusted after that.

6 year contract..
80 milion pounds..

 

[BlueHaze]

Thank the owners for coming back a year later and getting him for £20m more than what we would have gotten him for when Jose wanted him.

 

[Jazz]

They did great.

 

[FriendlyFox]

I was shot down on here not too long ago for saying that Soyuncu might be the better player

.....Though not that he's been in particularly fine form recently either...

 

[DatIrishFella]

He's a disaster.

 

[Amadaeus]

That just expedited the collapse. Have you watched us this season? Brighton was suppose to trash us 7-1, crystal palace beat us 3-1, and now Spurs is giving us the worst beating I have seen in awhile. Even without that error, we would have still collapsed. Spurs seems much better coached even before the red card.

 

[amolbhatia50k]

He was pretty good last season.

Been terrible so far in this one.

But 80 million is a joke fee for him. I never saw anything more than a "good" CB in him and he's been just that.

He was dreadful against West Ham but I’ve agreed with you since his debut in that 0-0 vs Wolves.

He is not the better player - you were right to be shot down.

 

[Bastian]

Haha. He's not bad, he needs to be surrounded by quality players though. And he's worth maybe 40m max.

 

[littleman]

Just strip little Maggy of the captaincy and give it to Bruno. No more of this rubbish workman peacocking, let’s do better

Let Maggy boy fit into the team as he’s supposed to, a small cog.

 

[Jacob]

Sunk cost, it's what we do now that counts. Don't treat him like a 80m player. He should be targeted for replacement like anybody else.

 

[Henrik Larsson]

Thank you very much to the people who briefed the press we weren't ever going to buy him for 60 million, and then went on to buy him for 80 million a year later.

 

[Web of Bissaka]

Also he's our captain... so the transfer and then the soon capt appointment few months later are really one huge joke

 

[Art]

The one transfer that will hurt us for years to come because of his nationality and the media narrative spewing the "finding the right partner for Maguire" when really Maguire is the first one that needs binning. Absolute joke of a defender for that money.

 

[lilcurt]

Ocean liner.

Worst captain in our recent history. Won't get dropped, will make a token "sorry, wasn't good enough tweet" this evening.

 

[2 man midfield]

It’s deeper than that. We take good players and turn them into shit. If we sold him to Spurs, Jose would get a tune out of him. It’s us that’s the problem.

 

[Rake]

And yet 2 managers thought he is the signing we need.

 

[GifLord]

 

[Bastian]

It’s deeper than that. We take good players and turn them into shit. If we sold him to Spurs, Jose would get a tune out of him. It’s us that’s the problem.

Bit of both. He's not as good as the song and dance about him implied (and that 80m) and yes, our coaching and running of the club is atrocious.

 

[Rado_N]

Smalling is considerably better than him.

 

[Red Star One]

Well who would’ve thought that paying double the price just because some player is English is not the most successful business model.

He’s far from our biggest problems, but he was never worth the money we paid and to make him our captain so early was an embarrassment not worthy of this club.

 

[lilcurt]

Meanwhile, let's sell Smalling. Easily our best defender.

 

[Hugh Jass]

That just expedited the collapse. Have you watched us this season? Brighton was suppose to trash us 7-1, crystal palace beat us 3-1, and now Spurs is giving us the worst beating I have seen in awhile. Even without that error, we would have still collapsed.

This.

Mate those of us who dared say Maguire was shite and overrated were shot at. I don't see anyone saying he is a leader etc now.

Where have all those fans gone?

 

[Idxomer]

I was very happy when we dodged him in Mourinho's 3rd season, still can't believe we went and dropped 80m on him a year later.

 

[James Peril]

He was pretty good last season.

Been terrible so far in this one.

But 80 million is a joke fee for him. I never saw anything more than a "good" CB in him and he's been just that.

He was decent because his many, many small errors didn’t lead to goals at the back. Now they have. Playing with fire etc, the guy is absolutely average and belongs at a smaller club that loves to defend set-pieces.

 

[RashyForPM]

He is not the better player - you were right to be shot down.

Blind loyalty. Stupid loyalty.

 

[Zoo]

He’s just out of form after Mykonos. Hopefully not long term

 

[Robbie Boy]

Also thanks for imploding last season and masking over our managers terribly obvious shortcomings.

 

[Knux]

We should’ve used the money on Upamecano and Sancho. But here we are..

Harry ’Mr.Mykonos’ Maguire

 

[amolbhatia50k]

He's a good CB. But more someone you spend 40 million on. We spunked money we could have used to buy elite players on someone merely good. Baffling decision making. I don't know anyone who felt this chap was a top top CB

 

[Shane88]

Lock him up.

 

[amolbhatia50k]

It's true. Leicester saved Ole who is obviously will eventually prove to not be good enough but gets much more time due to last season's events.

 

[Based Adnan]

He is absolutely awful. We got robbed big time. Needs dropping but he won't because he cost so much and got the captaincy for some reason.

 

[Speedy30]

IMO he's not really any better than Sakho at Palace. He does good things sometimes but there's always a mistake or lack of concentration just around the corner

 

[awop]

I can't remember but was there any competition for his signature ? Still can't understand how you got not only forced to pay that much but also to pay a big chunk in cash. You'd think you were trying to get Sergio Ramos out of Madrid, it's ridiculous. You still managed to have good defensive numbers with the multiples mistakes him, AWB and Lindelof made.
It's weird you have not signed an average to good CB cover with those first signs showing last season on top of Smalling doing everything he can to get out of Manchester.

The rumour was City also interested but only willing to pay 60-70M.

 

[Judge Red]

Do you really think our current coaching staff would get anything good out of Sancho?

Maguire arrived here with a big reputation, started well, turned to shit. See also: all our other recent signings. We’ll end up sucking the love of football out of Bruno before long too.

Doesn't mean a thing, he isn't playing much different to what he did there. He was always average could have good games and also shockers
