Just getting fit for his return to us.
I was going to post this in the other thread, and it got closed just as I clicked send, so...
It'd be a lot of fun, and would cheer a lot of people up to have him around, but he's not the missing piece of the puzzle like some are suggesting.
Shoring up the defence (recruting some wing backs) will go a long way to solving our problems up front. We've been among the high scorers in the first part of the season, I imagine we'd play better in front of goal if we weren't having to come from behind, and if every chance didn't have so much resting on it.

Two decent full-backs would solve far more of our problems than the return of Maguire. Let’s look forward not backwards.

Is that text speak for BastARD?
only joking.......I think if MApp had stayed Maguire would have. We'll never know for sure but he always gave 100% and his personality was infectious on the pitch. If HE wanted to come back I wouldn't doubt his motives.
Maguire, woooah
Maguire, woooah
He's Oxford's number 10
We want him back again ?

We have no one near Maguires football ability at present. A huge loss to us. So it has not worked out for him at Bury, so what. With what we have on offer at the moment he would walk into the team. Surely his form cannot have dipped so far in such a short time. Maybe its "horses for courses". A fans favourite whatever some may say on this forum.

They didn’t match his expectations.

A correction here. Change football ability to football nuance. He can adapt to the situation that presents itself. Walk the ball into the corner to run down the clock, dilly dally over a penalty take, wind up the opposition, and great free kick. I have missed him greatly, a pure entertainer.....and we have precious few of those at present.
In a recent interview, Ryan Lowe said something along the lines of there being something wrong at the club, he knew what it is and was going to do something about it. Certain players were letting standards drop and causing problems and he would get rid of them. Reading between the lines, if Maguire was the player he was alluding to, do we really want him back? And I say that as someone who liked him when he was here.

I took it as his age (and a perceived loss of a yard of pace) that KR wouldn’t countenance of move for him. You never know though.
Maguire is a big character and Appleton knew exactly how to manage him, I suspect that many other people don't know which buttons to press to get the best out of him.
Spot on Jack
To get the best out of Maguire you've got to keep his head straight.
