Not sure about that. He's a very good player and should definitely be playing at a higher level than the LOI.
Saying that we did sign the league's best players in Burke and O'Connor and we know how that went.
He's consistently in the national team however
Id say Maguire is the only one we've had from Eire who's been hyped to the level of Bryne. And that was certainly justified in those first few months before the injury.
He's technically levels above that league. As mentioned previously with the league one/two signings my concern would be with him as an athlete. But its his position is as a Gallagher type midfielder with cutting passes, decent shot and loving the ball - his lack of pace isn't as much an issue.
Him failing at other teams here doesn't matter to me as a bit of a shot to nothing if he's free. He's at an age now where if he doesn't get his head down he will never make the big money, so we could get him at just the right time. It might make us appeal more than Forest as well, where he will be less likely to get a chance generally but especially with us potentially losing 4 CMs in the summer
