Maguire not even mentioned.
Morgan is finished, Benalouane is shit, Fuchs can barely play his natural position any more let alone centre back. Morgan, Benalouane and Fuchs are all out of contract in the summer and Maguire will probably be gone if he has a good season. Leaving one barely fit Evans on the books come July next year.
Are two completely necessary, No. But it makes perfect sense considering the situation to get them in now if we can. We'd then look to shift Benalouane before the foreign window shuts.
We want rid of Benalouane
Spot on, it comes back to the scouts again and how bad a job they do for this club. They don't identify young talent anymore, especially from the UK.
The Guardian were mocking his lack of pace in the transfer rumours section this morning. I've never really paid attention to it, so for those who have watched him more, or Leicester fans, is he notably slow?
He ain't quick, that's for sure.
Spending 70m or something like that on him is pure panic buying. Have there been any rumours regarding us trying to stick unwanted players into a potential deal?
The Guardians quote on this;
"It’s all falling into place for José. If by “all” you mean dramatically over-paying for a defender who is perfectly good, but is ultimately slower than mince and United wouldn’t be looking at twice if it wasn’t for the World Cup."
I’d be very happy to see him signed.
Because you know he's a great defender who will be a definite upgrade on what we have, of which im personally skeptical, or because you just want us to sign somebody?
The first bit.
He’s pretty slow. Once he gets going he’s fine, but he can be a little cumbersome. He’s clever at negating the drawbacks of his lack of acceleration though, it’s rare to see him on toast because of it.
Where are SSN getting this shite from regarding Maguire.
"Hopes Man Utd will sign him before transfer window."
"Hopes Man Utd will sign him before transfer window."
people look at him and assume he's slow because of his build yet I have never seen him done for pace
Fair enough, I was hoping you'd offer an opinion as you watch him most weeks. Thanks bud.
Genuine question, if Leicester were swapping him directly for Smalling or Jones, would you be massively put out? I.E. would either of those be a big downgrade on him?
Hand in a transfer request you bolder head.
You get one career. Push it.

I'd take Smalling and a shit tonne of cash and be satisfied, wouldn't touch Jones, too much of a crock, they (Smalling and Maguire) are totally different types of defender though so it wouldn't be a like for like swap or comparison
its Slab head, get it right
I would probably take Maguire plus a shit load of cash for Smalling or Jones and be reasonably happy.
This thread was something alright.
if you got 20p for Jones you'd be ecstatic
Random people on twitter probably.
Maguire isn't the sort of character to cause a proper fuss. I wouldn't be overly surprised if this is all PR from Leicester and we bottle it and pay a kings ransom for him on deadline day.
the chief exec of SkyBet probably
He knows Maguire isn’t playing against us on Friday.
Without the World Cup, Maguire wouldn't even be a thought. If we do splash on him late in this window, it's going to be a massive panic buy in my opinion
No one else think this is happening?
Leicester have signed another two CBs and the press are going with Maguire wants the move tonight. (Independent)
I think it'll be done.

Throw £55 million at them and be done with it.
Can’t believe one of those Twitter nuts suggested he was available for £35m. Leicester signed him for £17m from a Championship team and he had a good season for them, was probably one of their three best players. He was never going to go for anything less than £50m.
Leicester will just simply reject that, so it'd be a pretty pointless thing to do.
He is probably more attractive at 70m than Alderweireld from Woody's view because of the astronomical difference in wage demands.
Stop listening to that Kevah twat from Skybet, we wanted 2 more cbs because we want rid of Benalouane and lost Huth this summer
Would prefer Alderwereild
I don't think our current defenders are that bad and the fact that both of the defenders Jose has bought aren't favourites to start as our CBs speaks volumes.

Maguire has more time at his peak too.
This him?
Sky and their reporters are blantantly manipulating the betting market imo.
I'm not watching Sky actually, just noticed you'd signed two and also brought in Evans.
Certainly think there's something in it. Three new CBs in one window..
Why would they do that?
Sky bets.
More outlandish stories..more bets..
Sky used to be the final word on transfers. Some of their claims in recent years are beyond laughable. And not even remotely true.
I actually read on here that they no longer own Sky bets.
Agree with you regarding their claims, the transfer window in general is hard to navigate with so much bullshit flying about.
