Not pointless, smart move by Citeh imo. They know they don't have to pay more than united if Maguire wants to go to them, they just have to match it. If Maguire knows they have formally bid and will agitate for a move they could well get him for less than what Leicester want for him.
Yeah didn't Mahrez down tools and Leicester ended up losing him for a good bit less but I'm not sure I see Maguire going down that road.
Thought he looked great for the final part of the season big loss for Newcastle and astute buy by Rodgers Perez will cost a fee of around £16m, which was his release clause at Newcastle, and personal terms will be a formality. Telegraph
Atletico Madrid have signed Portugal forward Joao Felix for 126m euros (£113m) from Benfica in the fifth most expensive transfer in history.
I think Atletico have pressed the button too soon. Barca now know that they must sell Griezmann to fund the Felix deal. I'll bet that they try to put the squeeze on the price now.
Utd Going after longstaff at Newcastle. They are really going after young British players and crazy money
Utd drip feeding news to Sky Sports all summer. 'Utd preparing bid for Longstaff' Trying to keep fans on side I'd imagine. Very amateurish. Just make the bid and get it done. Our club is in great shape with our transfer dealings.
He,s played fcuk all amount of games to be classed in any bracket so still in the very unproven camp for me but good luck to them overpaying for that level
Validates what I mean when you now see clubs quoted stupid prices in an overly inflated market for unproven players
I've seen enough in him in a few games, to say he's a good footballer. Best player on the park the night Newcastle beat City.
You must have watched a different game to me so cos Rondon destroyed them and Matt Richie wasn't far behind him Suppose all about opinions and what people want to see to support the narrative really
No I'd imagine it was the same match but yes maybe difference of opinion. I've seen enough in him in the games I've watched to say he's a very good footballer.
