Still don't see why Leicester would even consider selling Maguire with only days left in the window. What sort of message would that send to their fans? They've already sold Mahrez. Selling their two best players in the same summer would be devastating.
His value won't drop if he stays another season, so what incentive would they have to sell now?

Wise up!
I'd bite your arm off for £20m with Jones.
Jones contract expires next year, there’s no chance he’s worth £40m
I’d say £25-£30m is fair
I read that as “surely he has legs” as in someone will pay
Certainly has a left one. His right is MIA.
Young deserves to be here.
Which one did he score that beauty with in the WC? Can’t remember.
Well, if he doesn’t have that good a season his price could drop 20 million.
His right. But I think he rented one for the game.
He was a warrior in his first season under Jose untill that injury fecked him. Never got going again after that
If he has an averge (or below) season with Leicester his value would drop massively I'd think.
After the World Cup he had I think it would actually make sense for Leicester to lock in 50m in profit for him.
The interest seems to come from our desperate than a pre plan, coming this late to the window closure. So there is a chance we wouldn't come back next season even if we can't sign a CB now. L'pool, City already have their expensive CBs. Even Tottenham had Davidson Sanchez for club record fee and well stocked in CBs department. That leaves very little room for Maguire to move to a English CL clubs.Not many overseas teams would afford his fee and not sure overseas folks rate him to beginning with.

Something tells me you don't work in sales?
Not directly no - The whole situation is getting on my last nerve. By the time they reach an agreement the window is gonna be shut. They need to speed things up, time is of the essence.
Unless he gets injured. Or loses form because his cat died. Or develops an unhealthy obsession with Coronation Street. He's the flavour of the month because of his world club performances. Leicester would do well to sell now, particularly for anything over 50m. Unless he moves this summer, he won't be worth 30m next year.
Have Everton learned nothing from Schneiderlin and Rooney?? Don't buy what we're willing to chuck out
They're repaying for scamming us few extra squid for Fellaini; and especially gave us MoyesHave Everton learned nothing from Schneiderlin and Rooney?? Don't buy what we're willing to chuck out
Petition to blacklist Sam Luckhurst. The vast majority of his United-related output is bollocks specifically designed to whip the gullible portions of our fanbase up into a frenzy.
Yeah, because Chelsea, City and Spurs have been doing fantastically this window, what with City losing out on the primary target to a Chelsea who only managed to appoint a manager a couple of weeks ago and are on the cusp of losing their first choice goalkeeper with no replacement in sight, all while battling to keep their star player and remedy their Morata problem.

Chelsea has made one signing.
Spurs have made none.
City failed with moves for Fred and Jorginho and spent most of the window trying to sign Mahrez who they had been trying to do a transfer for since at least January.
Seconded. Tedious moron with no real sources and no objective other than clickbaiting.
Votes were 14 for, 5 against (Crystal Palace, Man City, Man Utd, Swansea City and Watford) and 1 abstaining (Burnley). Even if Spurs had voted against, it would have gone through though. Needed 1 more 'Yes' vote on top of that to vote 'No'.
But yeah, Spurs are clearly having no issues this window.
No-one has ever said that.
Nah, there have been a few who have said this has been a good window for them just because they've kept their existing players and Pochettino has a new contract. Even a few posts up, klayton is saying other teams haven't had issues this window.
I feel like foreign clubs are just quoting silly prices to the English clubs, the new deal has had a negative effect in that regard, I think English clubs will need to improve their scouting abroad to get these players in at a young age or develop youth themselves.
Spurs and Chelsea are having nightmare summer's. Arsenal doing ok with a few nice 5 - 15m signings
Pretty, pretty please.
I've got to admit that when the transfer window opened I could never imagine that with 10 days to go we would have only signed Fred and a RB no one had ever heard of (hopefully a great one) I thought this was the summer we would go all in to try and minimize the gap between us and city as much as possible but feck me this has been nothing but a depressing window. Mourinho certainly isn't helping by being so negative all the time and honestly this season could literally go any way, either we will put up a decent challenge or we will have to go through an entire shitstorm a la chelsea 15-16 season, which many people in here think will happen.
Indeed. Between the journalists misquoting things , playing up conflict within the squad and the manager and board, there's a whole lot of nonsense to filter thru. It's tough mate! I genuinely feel the need to strengthen the squad more and it's easy to get dismayed by the shite

Nah. A nightmare summer for Spurs would have been losing Pochettino and several of our best players, but instead we're tying most of them down to long contracts.
They will be snapping Utd's hand off for 50m for Alderweireld by the end of the window. Beautiful.
My only exposure to this guy was at the World Cup a few weeks ago where he was bang average. Even on YouTube where anyone can be made to look world class he only looks decent and nothing special. Weird signing he would be.
Wouldn't say we've had a nightmare summer at all. Not yet, anyways. All of our best players are still here for the time being. We've signed a brilliant CM and Sarri is already changing our style completely. If we end the window by selling one of our stars and not signing anyone else it'll be terrible.
Tottenham on the other hand have been shocking.
Yeah, Lemar was quoted around 90m last summer. Atletico signed him for I believe less than 50m.
Not necessarily. Unless they can find a decent replacement, they'll probably just wager that they're better off going into the season as they are.
We'll see.
