    I have no idea as im not a scout but there must be players abroad that are at least equal to him for less than that.

    However, I'm not a fan and wouldn't want to sign him if he were free so probably a bit biased too.

    50 million for maguire would be fair considering the english tax. Hed be a top class cb 15 years ago, now not so much.

    I remember when he came back from england and was touted as one of the worlds best, even a couple on here where thinking we could of signed him.

    Hes a solid cb, doesnt make mistakes and reads the game well. Next to a top class cb hed fit in well, as the number one hes lacking.

    I have no beef with Maguire apart from him costing us the league lol
    VVD’s importance to Liverpool is huge - can’t compare him to Laporte imho - as I said other night on prem board Kompany was the one that city have missed imho
    However I still think you would have been better spending a bit more and making an offer Napoli couldn’t refuse for Koulibaly - really like the look of him

    It’s good seeing United waste so much money. £80m on a slow centre back and £50m on a right back who can tackle but can’t pass a ball to save his life. He makes Gomez look like Dani Alves.

    Are you suggesting that Rio and Kompany are better than VVD?.

    Kompany was signed as a defensive midfielder not as a CB and wouldn't be that expensive ,say £20m, tops as he wasn't massively rated at the time.

    PS Kompany got away with murder imo as every season he committed at least 1 dreadful challenge yet seemed to always to get at most a yellow .

    In every generation, there’s a standout defender, just as there are stand out forwards.

    It is as clear as daylight that Virgil is the best defender in the world atm. Nobody can argue that, surely?

    Kompany May have been the best before injuries ravaged him but Rio was only ever touted as ‘one of the best’. Very few players are ever stand out better than every other player in their position like VvD.

    Agreed.

    VVD has no weakness. Special player.

    Also - happy VVD day. It’s been 2 years since he was announced that he was joining the club.

    The signing that transformed us and is the symbol of Klopp’s reign.
