I don't, it's all bullshit, the article says that we were priced out of the Maguire deal. Maguire went for 17 million but now we offer 15 million for Mawson, we couldn't afford an extra 2 million to match Leicester's offer? Lol bollocks.

I think this would be a really good signing as towards the end of last season he was starting to look a proper player and is a real threat at the other end. Looked to me like he has the ability to play the Dier role and switch from defence to midfield. Would doubt however that we could get him for £15m.
Never wanted Maguire as although he has good technical ability he always looks a little slow to me.

Not saying we were in for Maguire, but I could easily see Daniel Levy not completing a transfer for the sake of 2million.

Two articles posted today with ' with the headline 'Spurs eye'......should have gone to specsavers for both if you are a Spurs scout.

To pay 30 million for Sissoko last season then not complete a transfer for 17 million because he wants to pay 15 million doesnt make sense.

'Swoop' is one of my proscribed words in evaluating transfers.
Cockerels don't swoop.
Maguire my preference partly cos he's called Harry

Yeah I noticed that and agree. But prices are generally guessed at by the media so I tend to disregard that.

To me Mawson is more the type of player Poch would go for.

Mane was only 4m more than Sissoko and we balked at him, Winajldum was 25m too, so I don't get the fee reasoning. Never as simple as that

More likely he got more wages at Leicester which I can well believe, if we're umming and ahhing over giving Toby 100k a week. That said, can well believe he just thought he'd play more.

But regardless, every time a player goes somewhere and we say "didn't fancy her anyway", just makes us look silly. Especially next to the horseshit names we're linked with constantly
