That's Rabiot mate, he's being linked with a return to us. Looks a classy player but a quite lethargic style from what I've seen, not sure he'd fit.


Ah so it was, my bad!!

Maguire or Ottermendi? For me he looks well with Kyle and John Stones. Great on the ball.

It seems a market is being made for Mbappe. Real Madrid flatly deny offering €270m for the lad, having flatly denied having made an offer for Neymar. So they are considering selling Ronaldo but we are expected to believe they don't have a replacement in mind for the preening one.

Really dunno about this one. Maguire had never impressed me for Leicester, but I must admit he's looked better for England - possibly , as you point out, because of who he's playing alongside. Somehow, though, he still just looks more like a rugby player than a footballer

Only caught a bit of the match the other night but I thought Maguire was awful. Otter and Stones were class together at the start of last season before Stones took a dip.

I think Maguire has been excellent, it's not just his good positional play, it's his composure when on the ball and right decision making. He looks class. For a rugby oaf.

Would swap Otter for Maguire in the morning. Not that Maguire is world class yet, but better than otter, oh yes.
Fee would be massive.

Mate, are you mental?! Otter was our best defender last season. He was in the Prem team of the year and was setting records for his passing.

He scored against the rags at OT.

Maguire is a fuckin lump.

Mental, Quite possibly.
He might have carried the ball and passed well against deep lying defensive teams in the league. There are many ways to look at the stats and records and these things can turned and twisted depending upon the particular point of view.
I just do not trust him not to make mistakes when it really matters.

His stats were one of many reasons why he was our best defender though, that wasn't the only reason. He made Stones look class for the first half of last season.

Pretty much done deal Ronaldo to Juve by all accounts. Mad. Didn't see it coming at all.

Madrid to go in to panic mode and pay way over the odds for someone, but who?

He wont sell may Juve shirts. This will cost Juve , not just in monetary terms either . Ronaldo is passed his sell-by date.

Agree with Mase . Magiure is no where the standard of Otter , he has a great attitude but very raw and technically poor . Let the rags or dippers blow £50 - 60 million on him then see .

well he's about to become the global face of Ferrari if articles are to be believed so they're not only signing him up for sporting reasons & shirt sales.
