Finney Is Back

I think Maguire is a good player who just needs to move to a smaller club that Man Utd, less in the spotlight and restore his confidence.

You're probably right that this is what Maguire needs, but whilst he might be an improvement on our current options I'd prefer not to have to rely on a CB who needs to rediscover his confidence (especially as you imply there would likely be a mixed reaction to him anyway, so not necessarily the best environment for restoring that confidence).

There’s a reason for that.

Luka Modric
I think you’re right. I don’t think we would bring him in due to his wages anyway. I just think he is a better player than many give him credit for.
He's been terrible for a few years. If Ange wants to play a high line then he doesn't really fit into that, he'd trip over his own feet trying to run back.
I'd actually prefer Sanchez in a high line over Maguire.
Ange does push high, very high.
It's why I think the Maguire stuff is bs, and I think Dier is out

Not when we’re playing a defence line on the half way line he doesn’t.

I've always thought Maguire isn't as bad as he looks with United. In the right team, he could do a job because he's a decent defender and ball player. His problem is when he's asked to defend high and his mobility and pace are exposed.
I'd have thought a Conte team would be the place for him. What I know of Ange...not so much.

It does seem like a strange idea but it's quite likely that when a journalist need to make up a rumor, they draw a few names out of a hat and that's that.
Don't know if there's anything about United making a bid for Kane. They do talk quite a lot about it, here. In that case, they could be testing the water and see if we'd be willing to add him to a deal. After all, they got lucky with us once...

And uses the FULL BACKs to cover counter attacks, NOT the CBs.
People really need to start understanding this.

How does that work if they are under lapping ?

I suspect one full back pushes on and the other stays back. The full back that stays back probably tucks in to make a defensive three (and perhaps one of the centre backs even steps up to bolster the midfield) and the idea is that the full back has the pace to cover a ball over the top.

There is a video on it in the Ange thread.
It's more that they help pack the midfield in transition, but when pushing high up it's the centre backs that do that and step into midfield so the midfield push higher higher up and full backs are positioned to go either way.
It seems very high risk to me.
Yes, but no matter who covers, having a slow as fudge CB sitting on the half way line is not a good strategy.

CBs that have pace and are good on the ball - not too many available to us.
We might just find ourselves in a Maguire Vs Sanchez scenario.
Alternatively, Ange will adapt to what he has/can get

Levy says no - for once, i'd agree
Ange wants a really press a la celtic, he won't fit in, definitely
