Maguire has been outstanding at that level all season.... Its not even up for debate who is better. Maguire is head and shoulders above Lees and probably always will be. Maguire is now on the verge of a £15m+ move to an established Prem team. Apart from that though, i see your point.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nowhere near as much as the media reports suggested we paid for Rhodes and Reach. And if I'm honest, I'd rather have Rhodes and Reach (and the £8/9m left over) in the Championship than Maguire.

I think, pound for pound, he's up there as one of top players. But i'm sorry, Harry Maguire wee wees all over him. Great signing for Leicester at good money as well. Thought he'd be Spurs bound personally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maguire is now more proven at the highest level than Lees - thanks to a terrific second half of the season for Hull City. Whether than makes him better, that's down to opinion I guess. This time a year ago Maguire couldn't get a regular game in the Championship... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be surprised if it was even over £10m pal. When the fees have been mentioned to Carlos in the past, he's laughed them off as though he couldn't believe what he was hearing! Wouldn't surprise me if Rhodes was £6m and Reach £3m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy is a solid Premier League centre back now with serious intentions to get called up for England. Maguire and Lees aren't even close in terms of ability, however much i rate the guy.

WalthamOwl Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 He will be in the England squad very soon i reckon. Hope he goes to Spurs instead of Leicester. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spookone Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Its funny I remember some of the fans on here saying Maguire was rubbish, slow and had the turning circle of a barge - they may be the same ones saying who are now saying Bannan isn't good enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm simply highlighting two things; 1. If we had been promoted instead of Hull, could it have been Tom Lees moving for £17m now? 2. Maguire has had a quality 6 months after barely being able to get a game in the Championship - he could be a flash in the pan. I'll reserve judgement - I remember Michael Ricketts looking like the Brazilian Ronaldo for half a season! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paddyowl Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 Maguire was half decent when he played for the pigs, then seemed to go missing for a while but last season the improvement was incredible, the price tag is justified for a future England player. The above statement is true.........but it left a bitter taste in my mouth to agree with thousands of pigs that knew it all along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll admit, he surprised me last season Maguire. Has some real quality about him, seems to have come on leaps & bounds by playing regularly. if he continues, he's a shoe in for England IMO in an area (centre def) that England are seriously lacking any stand out performers.
