    His not worth 80m and he isn't that good. Next you will be telling me Evans is worth 90m or something.

    If you even think he's close to VVD in any way then wow. If Maguire is worth 80m the VVD is worth about 150m in today's market.

    A pub player midget be strong but he certainly isn't world class. No bloody way.

    The market determines the price, but out of interest if you have VVD in a team, which PL CBs who are better than Maguire do you pick to play with him?

    Can you even read? At no point have I compared him to VVD or said that I think he's better. I simply described the discussion between Carragher, Souness and Mourinho, who all rate him very highly and whose views I'd listen to ahead of yours any day.
    The comparison is irrelevant anyway. Regardless of how good VVD is, Maguire has gone for 80m because he is an all round class act. Whether he's the best CB in the PL or the second best is immaterial. VVD wasn't available and Maguire was. Leicester were able to get such a huge sum for him because Utd needed a class CB and Maguire is the real deal. It's beyond me that you can't see that.

    No there wasn't. Maguire is now an established world class CB. He'd walk into most national teams. Not bad for a pub player.

    Difficult one. Funny that the game of football is played by millions worldwide and is awash with billions of pounds of revenue yet after at best a handful of centre backs, its hard to think of any that are truly world class. Watching Chelsea yesterday half the players that started for them are hardly premiership quality never mind top six quality. What do academies do with these kids for years and years when some still struggle with basics?

    World Class Maguire isn't world class.

    World Class because he plays for a poor Utd side? Please.

    How is he world Class? Very interested to hear this.

    I agree but some of the stuff United played on the break was reminiscent of the Fergie years. And they are a very young team that can only get better

    His mate backing him up. Need more than that mate.

    Look Utd were after De ligt but couldn't get him because they're not in the CL. They could get Maguire because he hasn't played CL and played for Leicester.

    However paying 80m for him is a joke. It's embarrassing. Yes, he is better than what they had but that wasn't hard as Utd are a poor side now but he is just a good defender. Evans would of walk back into the Utd side for example.

    Now Wan Bissaka was different, he is a quality signing and worth the 50m Utd paid.

    You do realise that last season Jose wanted Maguire for 45m but the board said No. so in a year Utd paid an extra 35m ha ha Ed Woodward

    What so Rodger Milla was world class.

    What a stupid comment. Seriously think about what you're saying. Utter nonsense!

    David Luiz would have organised that Chelsea defense better but for some reason they let him go to Arsenal.

    But @Goose@Goose and @Offcomedun@Offcomedun think Maguire is world class.

    World Class that they would walk into them teams mentioned and Barca, Madrid. Any club in the world as he's World Class!

    However, this world class player is playing for a team that finished 6th last year and is playing in the Micky mouse EL cup. World Class him.

    One of the best in a World Cup leading to him being world class.

    Just because a player has a good World Cup like Mills doesn't mean they're world bloody class. Joke of a statement

    Thats fair comment. I think Maguire is a very good player but i wouldn’t put him in the world class bracket, only my opinion mind. Wait till we see how he fairs against the top three sides in the country, yesterday he wasn’t up against much.

    It's not me that thinks that because a player has a good World Cup he is world class ha ha.

    Look for me Messi, Ronaldo are Elite world Class, Neymar, VVD, Silva, Allison, De gea, Ederson, Hazard, Aguero, Salah, Mane, Firmino, Mbappe, Busquets, kante, De Bruyne are world Class and possibly Pogba.

    Don't even think Messi has ever had a decent World Cup.

    But you carry on thinking having a good World Cup makes you World class.

    You asked me why I think Maguire is world class. I replied thus:

    You ignored my answer and went off down an irrelevant World Cup rabbit hole. Typical.

    He makes Utd better that's their point. None of them said he's world class.

    Making Man Utd better isn't hard. Even a player from Swansea makes them better because like Jose was basically saying that they're shi&e now.

    Jose" only Man City, Liverpool, Spurs and Ma City B can win the league"
