    Is VVD world class? Of course he is. So if Carragher, Souness and Mourhino were debating whether Maguire is possibly better than VVD then simple logical dictates that Maguire is also world class. Unless you think they were all talking nonsense.

    VVD is world Class and if Liverpool were selling him today it would be for about 150m. Different levels mate, different levels.

    Utd are shi&e now, anything for them to hang on too but in reality they're being embarrassed by Man City.

    Look if you think Harry Maguire is world class then fine.. good luck to you on that thought.

    I would say Gomez is a better player and he's not world Class.

    If Maguire is worth 80m Gomez could go for 100m.

    I'm bored of Maguire now.. you stick to your thoughts. I will stick to midgets.

    Except that isn't true. Him and Leicester had an agreement that he wouldn't push for a move last summer to repay the faith they showed in him but that he could leave this summer. As they didn't need tthe money and they had an agreement with him they had no reason to take 45mill or even 90mill.

    And by all accounts, he wasn't even Jose first choice. He wanted United to pay Spurs asking price for the almost 30 year old Alderweireld who spent the previous season on the treatment table more than he played and was out of contract in a year + had a £25mill release clause if Spurs activated the extension. Now that would have been crazy money if Ed had just given into Jose. As would his other choice of Boateng for £44mill with his Injury problems and being a year older than Alderweireld

    has it slipped by everyone that the world class VVD plays for the beloved Scousers and Slab Head (love that nickname) the "pub footballer" plays for the red Mancs? That's the real reasoning for Fordy's argument.

    If he can step up like VVD did from Southampton he would be world class. V few would agree 80m for VVD at the time was a good deal yet he's developed into an elite tier player under Klopp. However I would say your right at the moment in that Maguire's about the same as Gomez, which is no insult as Gomez is a v good player himself.

    It's also not exactly being embarrassed by Man City because they're pissing all over everyone else bar Liverpool. One point you made earlier though is dead on, Woodward ha ha ha. That man will run United into the ground because he is without doubt the worst chief exec at any big club. Can't close a deal, gets ripped off on the regular, when left to his own devices buys overpriced shite and is only really interested in securing Utds next official dildo partner or whatever ridiculous sponsorship pounds he can chase. Been poisoning them for years has woody woodward.
