Credit where it's due he has been very good recently
Not everyone.Proven everyone wrong by turning down West Ham last Summer. Important player again & improving in confidence by the week.
His availability likely means we’ll still want a very decent fee to part ways as he’s a much better option as a 3rd CB than Lindelöf, and more reliable fitness wise than any of the rest.

He's improved. He had defo regressed himself especially towards the end of Oles final season and then the times he played under eth last season.Played well and showed intent. Still had a couple of shifty moments. Not sure if he’s improved or we’ve regressed that he’s not our worst problem anymore.
Been excellent recently. Why would we get rid of him now?
Has shown great mentality this season to bide his time, and work to get back in the team.
Stark contrast to Sancho.
Because of his lack of pace he cannot play high line. I have mad respect for the lad but he needs to go.
There are at least 10 players in the squad who should go before Maguire.
That would be a monumentally stupid decision to get rid of our most consistent CB.
Evans old as feck, Lindelof shit, Martinez injury prone, Varane injury prone and overrated.
You getting rid of all these and replacing them in one window?
Also Maguire can play a high line, IF you control possession (which we don't, at least yet).
He was good in the episodes where he actively engaged in the play which is the first thing that people look at but he often visibly struggled to make up his mind (as he usually does) in transitional moments, trying to decide whenever to push forward aggressively in order to quickly win the ball or to drop back, usually ending up doing the latter a little to late. It's why he can't and never will be able to play in a high line. It's not his lack of pace that's the main reason (although it's also an issue), it's the complete inability to quickly react to the changes in passages of play.I'm surprised at the comments today. Thought it was a classic "Maguire struggles with a high-line (and huge gaps behind the midfield which isn't his fault)" game from him.

We really miss Licha, he is our only defender who knows when to step out of the defensive line to cut out the potential attack. Maguire does it sometimes but he often mistimes it. The rest barely even attempt it.
Thenk feck we didnt sell him.
Probably our best player this season. Yeah, I know we are shite but credit were is due.
He's one of our best players, but that's relative to our current level, which is around midtable to Europa conference. That's why he'd have been a great signing for West Ham.Thenk feck we didnt sell him.

The sad situation is that Maguire and McTom have been 2 of the best players this season. Yet they're two we very obviously tried to ship off.
And without any doubt shown the most spirit.
