Maguire is left sided. He could well replace Verts if Verts doesn't extend his contract soon.
If we have scouts at Burnley I think it's Tarkowski we are watching, not Mee, as a potential Alder replacement.

All 3 would be great signings IMO
All cultured players who would develop even further under Poch
Maguire I’ve liked for a couple of years and I think he is a great footballing centre back and played right side for Sheffield and Hull so is flexible
The Burnley boys have demonstrated they can excel as part of a well organised system so would suit us
I’m sure someone will throw up some names from overseas but for me their gambles no matter who they are...
I look at Rudiger and the hype he came with and he is no better than many we have in this league already whilst being solid and functional but did cost a packet

I have been impressed with him this season, i never thought that much about him when he was at Hull but since moving he is looking a very good player.

He plays like Toby IMO

I do like the way he can carry the ball out from defense.

Not sure you mean that as a positive
Maguire can play though and is very comfortable on the ball whereas Dawson never struck me as being that kind of player. Where they are similar is their attitude to defend and put everything on the line

I thought Dawson was comfortable enough on the ball. He used to ping the same sort of long passes that Toby does....

Can't say I agree with that! Daws, bless him, used to just hoof it.
Yet they hit their man a lot
Seriously?! He constantly hit long diagonal passes out wide to our wingers and they were accutrate....Can't say I agree with that! Daws, bless him, used to just hoof it.

You may both be right, I usually have a pretty decent memory, but I might be wrong on this, of course. I loved Daws, he played with heart, but wasn't the most technically gifted player, which is maybe why I have a bias towards him not making a lot of inch perfect long passes.

He is a spurs man through and through
Not glamourourous just functional but hard working
Loves the club too

Mabbs was a better player IMO but get the similarities

I think they are.
I dont think Dawson is anything like as good as Alderweireld, but the long diagonal out the left was a regular feature of his game and he had a very good eye for it.

Then Alder's sale price is Maguire's purchase price + £20m. Simple.
That's pretty much what we did with Walker and Aurier (with the profit towards the majority of Sanchez)

Maguire is left sided sadly

It doesn't make that much difference to most CBs (speaking as a CB who doesn't have a preference).
As mentioned above, Maguire played right sided for both Sheff U and Hull, so is also likely one who doesn't really have a preference
Similarly, Gomez has played different sides of the back 3 for England in his last two appearances
