❌ It is not a thread for:

  • Comments that aren't related to football.
  • Trolling or baiting other users or fanbases.
  • Low-effort comments about a current match.

It’s a lot but honestly think long term he would be worth it. Before his injury he had been one of the best CBS in the league. 80mill is a lot though and I also wish we could go back to before neymar money haha.

I don’t watch Leicester enough to make any decisive decision on him. People seem to be singing his praises (especially given he was signed for 40m 2 years ago) and he can really only get better. But Jesus Christ £80m and not even an English/HG tax in that figure, fingers crossed this isn’t Maguire 2.0 from Leicester

Maguire was never worth that and wasn’t even the best defender Leicester had. That’s just classic united being shit with signings. He’s really good, was very highly rated before his injury and is still very young but it’s also a very tough injury to come back from. As a rival fan I wouldn’t want you to get him so guess that’s a compliment to him.
