Maguire v VVD

I had hoped that we might have been interested in signing Maguire from Hull and play him alongside VVD or as a replacement when Virgil shoots off elsewhere.

Of course it is difficult to make direct comparisons after last nights game but I do suggest that Maguire didn't look at all bad value at circa £25m (or was it less?) versus VVD at around £60-£70m

Our Black Box definitely needs a reboot!!

I was gutted we didn't go in for him back in the summer. Class player.

Our black box needs to tick the ‘currently in another job’ option.

Surely we can do better than taking managers that are out of a job?

Maguire is class.

I thought he looked like a typical Huth-style Leicester centre back, functional and defensive. His uncomfortable looking run and admittedly half-decent shot was entirely down to us standing off him, and his hands all over him foul on Austin before our goal probably should have been a penalty. Other than that we didn't do much to trouble their back line to see what he could do, but then defending is a bit of a lost art, as we showed by nearly conceding from Leicester drilling the ball straight at us out of the keeper's hands.
