So, yesterday I wrote about Harry Maguire being pretty reliably linked to Chelsea for the summer season as a free agent.
If you happen to missed it and wish to see the complete 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 arms up right here, I used to be very unfair on you all. However I needed a transparent reply, regardless of me myself being fairly on the fence about it!
In any case, your solutions that I pressured actually did cut up the neighborhood…
54% mentioned no, they’d not take Maguire on a free
46% mentioned 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 slightly 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 pacesetter, 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 number of the packing containers that I wish 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 enjoying for England. Has he lower that aspect of his recreation out as he’s matured? Possibly there may be an argument for that? However these are simply issues that I can’t 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 particularly, 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 take pleasure in watching him play and defend, different occasions I hate it! I simply hate marmite all the time.. !
In any case, we aren’t signing him let’s be trustworthy, however it’s been attention-grabbing to see your ideas all the identical.
