Maguire is apparently ready to hand in a transfer request according to a tweet from'Boro Insider'. What an utter **** up.

Again 'could be' bullshit.
 
He's not under contract?

If we accept his transfer request, he'll be gone. I wouldn't put it past the Allams either considering their stupidity with release clauses. It's not just that they're hated for their contempt for fans, they're incompetent when it comes to running a football club. This is what sporting directors are for. Being an owner or chairman doesn't guarantee you understand the intricacies of how football works as a business overall, as Assem admitted.
 
All the signings Boro have made you still see us in a relegation fight with Hull and a n other?
Explain yourself armchair fan please

The PL is a massive step up from the Championship. I don't rate your manager and I see he's favourite for the sack. I would be very surprised if you aren't involved in a relegation scrap. Guzan <laugh>

Maguire's too slow for the Prem, he really is - we need players, fact ---but losing Maguire to Boro will mean their defence will be vulnerable
 
Posted this in the manager thread.

Apparently we are after Maxi Lopez according to the HDM. BCC?

They'll only entertain it if he's involved in a swap deal with Hernandez. Doesn't seem like a fair swap to me...

What else should they do then? Give players £50k a week salaries and guarantee it even if we're relegated? Have 10 Jimmy Bullards on the books? The simple fact is players like Diame just won't come to Hull City unless they're given a ridiculous contract (like Newcastle hand out willy nilly) or certain failsafes (release clauses).

Maybe we just shouldn't buy quality players at all and sign the likes of Barry ****ing Bannan instead? Would that make you happy?

Lopez looks a bit of a fat bastard now. I'd sign him as an additional striker but they can **** off if it involves a swap in any way shape or form.

Are you ******ed?
 
Couldn't agree more CT, and the bonus is you've saved me responding to the other posters who appear to think that he's a class act <laugh>

"Class act" is the last description I'd associate with Jones LBA....it neither applies to his limited skill level or his boorish attitude on the field of play. Now Chessie was a class act in every way. Would love to get him back...on loan or permanently.
