Tiresias Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 (edited) He was an excellent player and no shame in that all this 'who is greatest' is just a pissing contest who gives a shit. He's never going to be as fondly remembered for anything other than winning stuff with barca and fair enough. Off course the circus that surrounds him is tiresome, a lot of the circus around football always is Edited August 8, 2023 by Tiresias Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieDazzler Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 He moved to PSG to try and get out of Messi’s shadow and win a CL and thus a Balon D’or. Instead he ended up in Mbappe’s shadow and getting injured for multiple CL crunch games. In retrospect it’s been a terrible move but at the time it probably made plenty of sense.

Annoyingly as they are getting Alvarez, McTominay will be free to go box to box. Don't like Moyes getting Maguire and McTominay along with Alvarez. Was hoping he'd get stuck with more Scammacca types that he had no clue about. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Froggy Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 As with most high level professional footballers, they'll all flourish in the right system. Maguire is no different. He's like a fish out of water with Ten Hag's tactics though. It's in his best interests to move. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 I wonder how much mental scarring Maguire has. His form for England has slipped imo. And tbh… he’s no better than Zouma or Aguerd. A cheeky loan for either ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's gone. No praying required. There was a time not so long ago when he was an important player for us though, and he's very effective for England. Will suit Moyes down to the ground.

He’s never played more than 20 league games a season for PSG. He moved for money and gave up aside from trying occasionally for Brazil only to be embarrassed repeatedly in the World Cup in-front of an audience of millions and for them to win the Copa America when he wasn’t playing. All the talent in the world and became an all time waste man. Shame really but to be expected. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
