McGuinness never asked to leave, he’s been virtually told he’s on his way.
It’s not 100% sealed but Luton are desperate for a good defender.
It reminds me of Kieffer Moore deal to Wolves we’ve sold you, but Wolves would not pay the whole £7mill upfront and it fell through.
But i believe tomorrow it will be done and finalised.

Let’s face it, if we get anywhere near the £10m quid quoted we have to bite their hand off.
Half decent player, got one howling mistake in him a game, may well go on to have a decent championship career, but there are other centre half’s out there who can do just as good a job.
Disappointed he goes as he looks like a nice guy but easily replaceable football wise

I see it as we're making a rival much stronger and us much weaker.
We look soft from set plays which he's excellent at. We look a soft touch in open play and he is physically better than Goutas and chambers and we look like we're lacking character which he's far above his age in leadership qualities.
It also looks like he has no wish to leave.
If we sold him to a prem club it wouldn't be quite as bad.

Not so easily replaceable. You've also got look at what it says to the rest of the squad that we're willing to sell our best player with high potential to a rival.
Doesn't look good on our own ambition.
Lastly if these players are so easily replaceable, we haven't replaced Kieffer Moore with 3 years of trying.
Gutted if he goes but very disappointed in the club to sell to another championship club as it looks terrible.

£3-4m quoted for our new centre back.

Apparently so. Just saw it but I can't remember where lol Looked on Youtube and there's not a great deal on him there tbh. Looks tall and athletic though.

Fingers crossed he’s good then if we are paying out that sort of money. We desperately need sorting out at the back.

Spot on. This deal stinks. Luton are a tin pot club. What do we aspire to be as the Welsh capital's football club?
