Spurs and Liverpool supposed to be looking at Harry McGuire of Hull. At only 24 years old could be a good shout.

I like Maguire, similar standard to the lad at Burnley but without the massive pricetag, yet.

Maguire is the one for me. I posted about him a few weeks ago and all the evidence was highlighted on MOTD last night.

His reading of the game and his ability to be in the right place are exceptional - just what we need.

{Ed001's Note - MOTD? Says it all, their analysis is lacking in any substance without Hansen. He was under no pressure at all yesterday, Palace were dreadful, he did the same thing he does every week, charge out with the ball, except Palace just stood and watched so he could take his time and pick a pass. Usually he is pressured and gives the ball away. He is not top class at all. I would rather go for genuine left sided centre backs in Mee or Gibson personally. Neither are MOTD highlight reel players, but both are better defenders.}

I understand what you mean Eds1 but at only 24 he has time on his side. Funnily enough I was in Greece about 5 years ago and this chap said to look out for young up and coming defender his name was Ben mee.

{Ed001's Note - he is just not quite good enough, nor does he have the potential to go much further, imo. He is great for Hull, but he lacks the pace to work in a high line, where he would be exposed and be shown up as the average defender he actually is.}

I'd say he was better than Keane because he actually looks like he can play football and defend.

Hi ed 001Hull were playing Southampton not Palace yesterday

Agree Maguire is not top class but I think it shows that with good coaching ( silva) you can make defenders better. still hope for Loren to be decent as part of a revamped back line at LFC.

{Ed001's Note - shows how poor they were that I never remembered that when I sat and watched it! Apologies though you are correct, it was Saints that were dreadful. No idea why I said Palace.}

Maguire is too slow and not good enough for LFC. I doubt whether Keane is either but then he idea of spending 50 mil on VVD worries me.

We should shop in Italy for def, Romagnoli or Rugani prob out of reach but the Italians do know how to def!

If Spurs are looking to sign him, odds are Wimmer will be off. So I'd go after him!

Wimmer is a terrible defender, there's a reason Spurs would be happy to get shot of him, he's physical weak, poor in the air and has no positional sense.

Haven't MotD previously had a moan about Maguire drifting up the pitch and losing the ball too much?

Maguire? Really? Clearly, people don't watch games fully anymore and allow the "pundits" to watch them and just parrot their conclusions by picking and choosing where to say he was good and leave out his dreadful mistakes. I couldn't believe it myself.

Maguire is bang awful. Slow as a slug, can't turn, no pace nor positional sense, would be all at sea in a high defensive line system like the one we play. Sheesh! The only English defender I would take is Gibson as he is top class.

I think Wimmer is class. No shame in being behind Alderweireld and Vertonghen in the pecking order!

He is certainly not weak or poor in the air. Good on the ball as well. My only concern would be his pace (or lack of it) .
