Oh and there's nothing wrong with four or five weetabix in a single sitting. Not for us hunks.

As a kid I'd have the same amount of weetabix as my age, probably up to the old age of about 7 when I moved on to fancier cereals.

I'd be pleased with signing Maguire, think it'd be a good bit of business. He's better than people give him credit for.

Its a yes from me.

I'll work on the chant in time for the announcement  8)

Is it a good bit of business, at his age, with his wages and with a fee that would probably be our transfer record?

I don't particularly rate him as a player, he's slow and clumsy against anyone who can square him up and slightly better distribution than we have and maybe 1-2 more goals a year isn't enough to both cover his weaknesses and be worth the huge outlay on him.

Either way I just don't think there's anything in it, if we sign a centre half I expect it'll be someone younger.

Wheverever he's going will surely be a loan in any case. Can't see anyone stumping up what they want just on the back of three decent games at the World cup.

Surely someone like West Ham need him more? Or Leicester with their endless set piece woes.

No way should it be on a record fee. Cut price get rid deal or loan.

I’d have Maguire on loan to buy or a cut price deal, definitely. I think he gets more stick than he deserves. But no way we should be shelling out big bucks for a player who’s only slightly better than our existing options in that position - it’s not that much of a priority.

Why couldn’t he just have been playing golf? Why does it have to be linked to us?

Did he ask Maguire why he was there or is it just 2 + 2?

Shift out as much of the dross as we can. Starting with Olsen.
Forest wanted Nakamba in August, knock on their door and leave him there. Cut short Augustinsson's loan, ditto Bednarkek.
Chambers...not arsed if he stays. Bailey...either play him on the left or make him available for sale.
Ings - if Everton offer what we paid Saints, do a deal.

We need more pace in the team. And bring in players that have brains, talent and a winning mentality. Most of our lot are dumb-assed losers and I'm sick of them.

I wonder what could possibly have put him off the move?

Something to do with it never being true in the first place
