[Skyblue Bangkok]

If Man U offered us Maguire for nothing and then said we will still pay his wages I'd still say no lol

So would I , he's slower than a snail.

So was McFadz, would take Maguire all day not that it's an even remote possibility

 

[Ccfcisparks]

People saying no to Maguire half the prem would take him let alone the championship

Think the days of the club bringing in players into their 30 s might we'll be over under DK.

 

[SBAndy]

Yep. I guess his ‘quality on the ball’ is what helped Preston to a 20th place finish.

It’s goals we need ffs.

When will people realise that because a team finishes low down it doesn’t mean all their players are shit? Hell, we finished 16th with Hamer starting most games.

Didn't we buy a player who played for a relegated team ie Huddersfield Town .

We played against Maguire last year and he looked a cut above. The guy is a top defender.

Grimes literally turns 30 in July

[Deity]

And we tried to sign Schlupp who is 32 …. Not sure how old Rob Holding is.

Lol yeah I would Maguire is crap, if we were in the prem and in a position to get top players where we could offer top wages then I'd not be signing Maguire just my opinion mate

 

[Skyblueabo1111]

Not me. Still got a better positional sense than Da Silva and gets in crosses with his left foot. We need a new LB with Bidders as back up and give Da Silva the old heave ho. All that dandy dan dribbling but no end product

Da Silva was class, last 10/12 games, Bidwell was poor

 

[fatso]

I was a bit suprised we paid big money for Grimes who's 29.
Certainly not Doug's usual type of signing but a good one nevertheless.

 

[skyblue_55]

It was fucked up by Robin’s , not plugging our midfield hole , when it was so obvious .
Lampard first transfer window & a more experienced player , would be hard to find .
Grimes , with his fitness history , could well be with us for another 3 seasons yet , so let’s enjoy his talents.

Players who stand out in poor teams are always worth a look

If you manage to look decent in teams as shite as Cardiff and Preston (in the case of Salech and Riis) then I'd argue you are good enough to play in a better side

Pretty lazy view from you tbh

 

[Ccfcisparks]

The argument was people wouldnt even have him in this league. Its nonsensical

 

[SkyBlueStallion_89]

I can't even remember how Maguire came up in the thread, I just gave my opinion that I don't rate him and in a hypothetical scenario that he was offered to us I wouldn't have him, it literally wasn't an argument

If someone offered us Maguire to replace Kitching for this season you'd say no?

 

[wingy]

I would tbf, don't know if he's what we need though, depends whose on offer cheap.

 

[SkyBlueStallion_89]

If someone offered us Maguire to replace Kitching for this season you'd say no?

But it wasnt about about replacing kitching for Maguire lol all I just stated was I don't rate Maguire, nothing else.

Any conversation regarding defenders in any thread anywhere and he come up in conversation I'd still say the same

 

[SKYBLUES90]

I’d take Jerry over him, lads stealing a living.

No you stated if somoene offered us maguire and to pay all his wages you'd say no, suggesting he wasn't an improvement on our current bunch.

He'd come in, play every minute and be captain.

Fucking hell if they offered him to us for nothing and paid his wages still I'd still not take him is just my way of saying I don't rate him that's all

[Briles]

Fuck me i come off for a few hours and come back to whether or not we would take Harry Maguire. Thank God the club world cups on soon

Sky blue talk for you dude, just watching the champions league final PSG dominated that first half, 2 nil up and their team is full of World class stars, got a player called Doue, only 19 and is really impressive, big star in the making

 

[Skyblue Bangkok]

On his wages I'd be surprised. No longer the player he was.

Would he he get in our team over Rudoni though?

 

[SkyBlueStallion_89]

Nah no one is taking our kids place mate not even Doue

 

[fernandopartridge]

I think people are just thick to be honest

They are. I know somebody who knows him well, he's had to put up with a lot of shite including death threats. Sounds like a really good lad as well and he showed a lot of class after the semi final.

Fuck it, break the wage ceiling and get him in Doug

 

[Skyblue Bangkok]

PSG are brilliant , so much talent in this side.

 

[HuckerbyDublinWhelan]

Let’s not pretend he wouldn’t still walk into every team in the championship though. Is he a top 5 player? Maybe not - but he’s still a top defender

 

[FergieTheFinisher]

Too much is made of the keeper for me. Dovin was outstanding and saved his defence a lot, I’m not sure that’s a positive for his defence.

LCB is priority 1 for me. If we don’t improve our defensive record we don’t go up. Thomas needs someone who can coach him in game. GK is important but only for half the season. Push came to shove I’d go again with the rest of the first XI. Or even better a coach on par with Lawrence who can set us up better. It may be that Lampard just plays like this of course, in which case we need to evolve the front line beyond “cross it and hope” if we want to just outscore teams and not keep flailing against a low block at 0-1.

I’m not sure I agree that we only need a keeper for half a season. Yes Dovin is a major improvement on Collins, but let’s be honest that is a low bar. If you look at the 3 teams that went up, they all have great keepers that would walk into our side even with an inform Dovin. I’m sure Trafford contributes massively to Burnley’s miserly defence.
yes, a quality LCB and LB are imperative, but a decent keeper will help our defensive record no end.

Maybe PSG will loan us one of their brilliant young players lol.
