Not the right player or the right price in my opinion, but I do think we'll see more from Lindelof playing on the right, at least. Maguire will help with playing from the back and in set pieces at both ends, but his lack of pace is a real concern. I love his attitude though and his desire to be here.

Says who?
We could very easily end up with another signing before the window shuts.
Dybala would be a godsend
Great, this saga has been going on almost as long as Coronation Street. Hope Brendan spends the money wisely.
What does that even mean on an internet forum?
Very happy. Much because it is finally over.
85m is too much but it’s not my money so fuc it
Woody might surprise us and pull another rabbit out his hat. Really hope so
He’s a leader in the Vidic/ Bruce
End every post with glory glory man utd
Very true and well put
Something not along the lines of waste of money.. Average CB. Please check his stats from last season then you will know what I mean.
I remember when we signed Di Maria and Falcao in one summer we thought we had a top-class attack with Rooney - Persie - Falcao - Di Maria - Januzaj.
Guess how that turned out... So I’m really cautious with words like “top-class” or so.
The hope is that his best will be useful to us
no doubt if he was called somthing like Maguirinho signed from a team like Barca for a world record fee you would be.
For the first time since Rio and Vidic we now have a leader at the back along with an actual right back . Happy days the back 4 now picks itself add another CM and a sprinkle of stardust in the shape of Dybala and we can be excited about our prospects again .
feck off
Superb transfer!
For Leicester.
For Leicester.
I wonder what number we will give him..?
May advice to you all: It's done, get behind him, don't mention the fee and be glad we strengthened in a position that has been a disaster for the past 6/7 years. We now have a very good and young CB pairing.
Going into the season rotating Smalling and Jones with Lindelof just wasnt an option - that was what we had last season and look at how it went. Happy with our defence now. On to Dybala/Bruno.

Except he is not. Good signing though.
I think his best is way better than Smalling's and Linde's best. He'll be useful and probably won't be injured, too.
I take it your a glass half empty sort of guy.
Look at it this way; £50m for Maguire and £30m to not need to rely on Jones, Smalling or Bailly
I wonder what all the Leicester fans think now? They've been telling us all week it wasn’t going to happen.
I wouldn’t usually gloat but some of them have been unbearable since this transfer saga began.

This can't be that far from the amount we spent on defence between Moyes/LvG/Jose put together?
Hoping the next one is going to be Ndidi next yearA toast to all the Leicester fans on the Caf, who we probably won't see until the next transfer saga where they can tell us how we bully them and how our club is basically going down the drain, so no ambitious player would join us.
Whenever I've watched him he's reminded me a bit of Jaap Stam, not the quickest but so aerially dominant and strong. If he's half as good as Jaap I think we'll be well happy. Good signing, is he worth 80m of course not, its silly money but I'd rather have the money on the pitch rather than in the Glazers pockets.

Our max spend in prrvious summers under Ed has been £150m, I'd be really surprised to see it go above that. Maybe if we sell Lukaku.
Personally would like to see a DM for around £40m and a RW for about £50m and we'd be in top shape, but unlikely given only 6 days of the window left open.
It's going to be a fox hunt on Redcafe! where's my hounds at?So basically we should never be optimistic going into a season ever since we had bad seasons in the past despite the optimism. God sometimes I wonder how this club survived getting relegated without all the fans just offing themselves.
Agree, but not sure about Dybala and think Fernandes might be better for us.
But in Maguire we have a solid CB who can bring the ball out of defence, something only Lindelof can also do of all the other CBs.
It's an awful lot to pay, but it improves us defensively hugely.
If this is happening we surely have to move at least one of our centre backs on - starting the season with Maguire, Lindelöf, Jones, Smalling, Rojo, Bailly and Tuanzebe all in the squad would just be ludicrous.
Have to remember that he is the right character as well. After all our downing tools incidents and the when you look at the team you struggle to see leaders or someone who can take the captains armband we now have one. This is very important especially with our fragile team. Good signing. Our defence now seems solid. Time to sort out RW and midfield and sell some players
I think he is. Eyebrows were raised in Vidic’s first games but he grew into the role.
I’m confident he will.
I bet we won't hear much from them, until Maguire makes a mistake or we get into another transfer saga with them.
I pray you are right with that last last part. We do have this tendency of having CBs with terrible fitness levels
Great signing I think.
Next summer we can sign any young CB like Upamecano and ease them into the team.
Jones,Smalling,Rojo will be moved on.

I agree, in the same way that it's very difficult to turn rocks around and move them at a reasonable pace.
Got rinsed
He's 26, which is almost 27, which is almost 30. Too old.
I jest... Yes he's overpriced but that's only of any consequence if it prevents us from making other signings. It remains to be seen if that's the case, but getting Fernandes and another attacker in (assuming Lukaku goes) would suggest otherwise. Let's see...

You're talking about the guy who downed tools to force a move out of Leicester.
