    They couldn't stop laughing and said £10m will do.

    Not sure who’s madder.

    West Ham for bidding £20m

    Man Utd for rejecting £20m

    If it’s around that figure I really really worry Levy won’t be able to resist bidding for him and somehow he ends up at Spurs

    Losing Harry Kane and ‘gaining’ Harry Maguire would be absolutely horrific

    Before we hired Ange I genuinely feared we’d be stupid enough to do as such.

    Now though I think we’re safe, when (or if!) we sign a new CB it’ll be someone that can actually run faster than Gemma Collins at the least.

    Maguire would absolutely sail into your team if you played him at CB, if you played him in Kanes place he would probably struggle.

    We conceded 60+ goals last season and Slabhead still wouldn’t be an upgrade on what we have.

    He’s literally Eric Dier with a bigger head. Surprised the pair of them aren’t brothers.

    DH has beat me to it but Maguire is basically Eric Dier so Spurs definitely don’t need him.

    Well not on his own no but he is a very good defender and would make a massive difference to you with a couple of other additions.
    Crap at high lines though because of a lack of speed but at the basics of defending, tackling, heading, positional sense he is a big step up from what you have.

    But Spurs will be trying to play on the front foot and higher up the pitch next season so Maguire wouldn’t be any good. Imo he’s not better than what Spurs have.

    If the first bit is true then the second bit is probably fair.

    Spot on.

    I rate Diego’s tactic though, trying to flog a dead horse in it. Gotta respect the game.

    I tried telling him and Trebs about year or two ago that Utd could’ve done with Winks.

    Do you think Maguire would have done well under Conte then?

    Possibly.
    He obviously isn't a great modern CB but is a very good defender and would do well under any manager that had the mindset of clean sheet first and see if we can score.
    Conte is a bit better than that though but is defensive minded.
