Maguire Thread with some Lindelof for context.
People get caught up in his fee - What selling team in power want, buying team willing pay and we work on a deal by deal basis.
It all means very little but he is now undervalued to our team and how he fit the profile we wanted above any target around the fee or even above.

Time and time again Maguire matches or out performs those getting praised and is more rounded than many what stops him getting any is the fee. Simply unfair when he delivers what you were buying him for.
People think they know the dressing room - Respond to passion shown on the pitch(last guy on PSG bench collecting mad money) and ignore all other aspects of leadership.
Armband means little, it is the face. You tell me how as English Captain/United Captain he fails this role?

No ambition if you can't see how like it always had in succesfull spells that United needs loads of different leaders.
Why are Mata/Matic kept around with limited mobility in a team that wants to press? Leaders. Too much focus on a single Armband.

Recoveries Maguire is 11.9 Lindelof 11.3 10th and 13th respectfully.
Roles are clear Maguire is very active and I would argue the team/defence unit depends on it but I also think he can't just focus on his own role as the unit is not the most optimum it could be.

Success to hard to messure with what I got as much is work is getting ball with interceptions, tackles are low sample but his % is still high around 13th. His % of team getting possession from pressure puts him near top of CBs as well but Fred must help that quite a bit.

Time to appreciate the whole package of Maguire. Right near the top in so many aspect of what a CB should bring esspically a front foot one.
Weird agendas need to stop be it him getting blamed for everything leading to goals or the very weird demand his captaincy gets stripped.

All stats from Fbref, per 90mins, 11 games + and compared vs 33 other CBs in the league unless stated otherwise. CDM/LB games do slip in to the stats for the likes of Fabinho/Cresswell
Any questions fire away and I'll try to answer best I can.
