Don't often comment on players that we miss out on as sometimes I can see the sense in not persuing certain players regards cost, profile etc. I can't help but feel though we have missed out and LCFC have got themselves a bargain. Good age, unreal ability and PL experience albeit for a short period, and £40m in this market is a steal. Disappointed it doesn't even look like we were after him.

Maybe 40 to 45?

Shouldn't be to hard to replace if he goes then

Your ol Jonny Evans is better and we got him from WBA for 3mil

Do not offer 40 mil for him but offer 70 for our slabhead? Nuts!
.................
What would be nuts is if we offered 70 million for your slab head and you didn't take it.

Not when you come back with 80m

He is akin to Paulinho and Spurs have Ndombele. Good luck to him but for me, he should have gone to United

...but they didn’t want him apparently

Tielemans might’ve been £40m for Leicester, but he’d probably have cost us £60m.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Nah, at least 80m

We have two excellent young replacements in Soyuncu and Benkovic, but not sure Rodgers is ready to throw them in yet.

Evans for 3m was just ridiculous. Top defender.

Evans was a good buy for you
Good defender and has a clever head on him, just can't handle the pressure when it was on. As soon as Rio/Vidic weren't there to hold his hand he crumbled.
Maybe now he's older he's different.

That’s an interesting take on Evans.
Purely as a defender he’s better than Maguire, but not the all round footballer that HM is.
Maguire and Evans look a far better partnership than Maguire and Wes Morgan.
Morgan looked like a world beater when he played alongside Robert Huth, but has looked distinctly average alongside others.
Makes you think of it in terms of partnerships. If Maguire came to Manchester United who would he partner - and would it work?

Rodgers is a bigger draw than Ole.

Very impressive. Leicester seems to have a better team than when they won the premier league with Maddison and Tielemens behind Jamie Vardy and with Chilwell, Maguire and Evans at the back. I think Rodgers is creating a really solid outfit
