I can't see any reason why cookie would want to get rid unless he thinks he can get a better player/s on a smaller salary?

Clearly his face doesn’t fit
Brought in last year to shore up the defence, worked instantly, a threat in the box and can carry the ball

Yeah that’s how football works, managers choose players they prefer. We play a back 4 with attacking fullbacks. Loz can’t play as a CB in a 2 and he’s a stay at home left back. He’s effective from set pieces but we’re hardly struggling with those so far this season. So yeah, his face doesn’t fit, or, if you’re not anti-Cook, he’s a squad player on a good wage who doesn’t fit into our preferred system and will be moved on just like any other squad player on a good wage who doesn’t fit into our preferred system.

agree I’m 100% with you on this
He can’t do the overlapping Cook wants with his FBs and
is slow ..
Good defender and scores now and then but just isn’t what Cook wants
Good luck to him and hope he does well.

This take is spot on. It’s like every player out of our side and squad becomes prime Messi overnight……
Not big enough to be a CB and not quick enough to play LB it’s the harsh reality

Good luck to him anyhow, can’t fault his effort and attitude.

With Naylor and Jones you can play with overlapping full backs
You get done if you try that with Banks though, you then need one of your full backs to stay back and form a 3
That’s my take anyway

Maguire may not be the fastest but that depends who he is being compared to. Very few CBs can keep up with Colclough, for instance, in a straight race but I'd hazard a guess that Loz could out run Palmer for instance.
Whatever, if this is happening, good luck to the lad. He's been a good servant.
