Although I do agree that playing out from the back is madness if you buy Maguire, however England who have consistently stuck with the meathead play high up majority of the times as they play against milkmen on the regular so the argument kind of invalidates itself. Thoughts aside, we should be going for high calibre players. Not Man Utd castaways. He cannot be Schars replacement at the grand old age of 30. I agree with your grander point. Rio and Kompany and Van Dijk in their prime were pretty fast though, just odd examples. Could have thrown in a Maldini or Bobby Moore to bolster your argument.

Tiresias Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 You can be a great reader of the game like Kompany, or fast enough and good at recovery tackles to cover the space behind you like Rio (not to say he wasn't good at reading the game either, but his pace meant he could be confident he could take more risks), VVD seemed to have both that season he looked impregnable. I don't think he has that anymore though, injuries seem to have slowed him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he has that anymore though, injuries seem to have slowed him. That's fair. My general consensus was that CB's aren't made to be fast, and a fast CB doesn't necessarily mean a good CB. I listened to Jamie Reubens podcast the other day and he said that the management of the team (Eales, Ashworth, Howe etc etc) and very statistically orientated, hopefully that means they've studied heavily on whoever they're to bring in.

nbthree3 Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 From here https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11095/12900461/james-maddison-newcastle-lead-tottenham-in-race-for-leicester-and-england-midfielder Newcastle are currently leading Tottenham in the race to sign Leicester's James Maddison. Both clubs are interested in signing the attacking midfielder, who has only a year left on his contract, this summer. Newcastle's interest stems back to the January transfer window, when Leicester were unwilling to sell the 26-year-old. But following relegation, the Foxes will now listen to offers. Newcastle are able to offer him Champions League football over Spurs, who are also long-term admirers. However, Tottenham may formalise their interest following the appointment of Ange Postecoglou as head coach. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bonk Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 2 hours ago, Tiresias said: Maguire would be fantastic for everton under dyche or a team looking to defend deep. Anyone wanting him to play out from the back and play high up is asking for disappointment. This isn't to say he is a bad player, like many maligned players he's just good at certain things and in wrong team Everton have Tarkowski, who’s arguably just as good as Maguire most days.

Memphis Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 How does the chart work? Does it go: Keeping tabs on ---> monitoring --> weighing up a bid ---> preparing a bid ---> putting a bid together ---> formalising a bid ---> making an opening bid ---> back to preparing a bid Very confusing.

Basically says Man United negotiations have slowed opening the door for us and PSG. Player is keen on the PL. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
