I'm just wondering how much do you reckon maguire will go for and also how much will quinn and lowton go for?

Not much, I reckon. Strikers are the only ones that fetch anything like good money in Division 1. Doubt if we'll get anything like £1m for Quinn, who is a bit older than the othersa and on good money. Lowton and Maguire should be £m1 or £2m, but they are worth much more. The important thing for those 2 is that we get a hefty sell-on clause. If either has a good season at either Championship or Premier standard, they will move again for much more.

Maguire and Lowton probably around £600,000 if we get a good deal. Limits on how much clubs can spend and transfer fees will subside rapidly this year. Just look at players released by Premier clubs. Huddersfield have released Gary Roberts who pigs were said to be after last summer for £500,000.
