80 Mill for maguire what has the footballing world come to
Even you guys have to admit that's bonkers and before you all go mad on the money Chelsea have wasted on players
Its Harry Maguire I can't believe he is the most expensive defender ever
I could understand 80 Mill and the most expensive defender ever if he was world class but he isn't
Its the equivalent of Danny drinkwater the most expensive midfielder ever just doesn't make sense
Harry maguire isn't a 80 mill player and I would go as far to say he isn't good enough for united
Sorry just my opinion.

Not my money so doesn't bother me, all I care about is he improves our defence, as does £50m AWB, ah well, the market we are in eh.

I would say, as you have already said, people in glass houses should not throw stones. That being said Maguire will surprise a lot of people, mark my words he will make it at United and will prove to be a good signing. Remember the mob signing Van Dijk? Was he worth 75 million then? No of course he wasn't, yet he went on to prove his worth and is for my money the best CB in the world. English players come at a premium, add to that the fact Leicester didn't need to sell and the fact we needed a CB desperately and 80 million is the outcome. Come back half way through the season so I can say I told you so.

The money in football is bonkers there days. At the end of the day, a player is worth exactly as much as a club is willing to pay for him. It’s high, but he is an improvement on what we have.

Most expensive is a confusing term. It does not necessarily transpire that he is the best of all in the world for such a comparison you need to have a list of valuation of all defenders and compare. Even valuation can change based on many factors, length of contract left/ current form etc.
If someone approaches Liverpool to sign VVD wouldn't surprise if they quote 200m plus. So instead of worrying about the money it could only be seen as a target identified by the club that they thought would improve us so they went and got him.

You could tell VVD was class the first time you seen him, he just glides about the park.

I remember VVD at Southampton getting totally destroyed by Martial.

Must have been an off day, i could tell he was class when I saw him playing for Celtic.
