So, yesterday I wrote about Harry Maguire being pretty reliably linked to Chelsea for the summer time as a free agent.
For those who missed it and need to see the total story, test it out earlier than studying on.
I needed to get your views on it earlier than dropping mine, and I’ll maintain my palms up right here, I used to be very unfair on you all. However I needed a transparent reply, regardless of me myself being reasonably on the fence about it!
In any case, your solutions that I compelled actually did cut up the group…
54% stated no, they’d not take Maguire on a free
46% stated sure, they’d take him
It’s an opinion splitter.
I’ve actually gone on and off with my opinion on Maguire over time. I imply, I’ve posted some harsh issues about him over time, I completely have! I by no means used to price him in any respect.
However over time, he began to win me over a bit bit. However not sufficient to persuade me to need him as a free agent.
The factor that makes me sit on the fence on it’s the packing containers that he would tick coming in. He’s a frontrunner, he’s skilled, loads of captain expertise, Premier League confirmed, 64 England apps, John Terry charges him, he’s very tall, an enormous bodily presence, very good within the air, commanding, and might play out from the again. He’s a correct conventional centre again I assume however with trendy tweaks.
So, he ticks a variety of the packing containers that I need to see added to our again line. However he’s no Thiago Silva, is he? I’ve seen many calamities from Maguire through the years in addition to mind farts that gave me nightmares when he was taking part in for England. Has he minimize that facet of his recreation out as he’s matured? Perhaps there’s an argument for that? However these are simply issues that I can not unsee I’m afraid, which is why I’m on the fence and never precisely backing it.
However every thing else about it I like, the concept behind it. These are the kind of signings we have to discover and make to assist full the squad for me. Not Maguire specifically, however the packing containers that he does tick.
I assume I see him a bit like marmite. Though probably not, as a result of typically I actually get pleasure from watching him play and defend, different occasions I hate it! I simply hate marmite at all times.. !
In any case, we aren’t signing him let’s be sincere, but it surely’s been fascinating to see your ideas all the identical.
