Some Preston fans writing about the Barnsley game in the Lancashire Evening Post were delighted with Maguire's "MOTM" performance: https://www.balls.ie/football/sean-m...o-costa-373298

The Irishman was awarded the man of the match by the sponsors a view I shared as he was a constant pest to the Barnsley defence throughout the game.

Heh, they call him "the Irish Diego Costa".

It was just reward for his first goal in English football, with him being a shade unlucky in previous matches.

Tim Mercer might want to check back on that stat about his first goal in English football.

Ha! Good spot - perhaps he thought "Accrington Stanley...who're they? Exactly". Heck, it's not even his first goal for Preston, as he did score in pre-season against another English team, which would have been part of "English Football"

Another goal for Maguire tonight v. Cardiff, video here: https://twitter.com/PaulDollery/stat...01525753057281

Very composed, nice finish.

**pineapple stu** · 12/09/2017, 8:42 PM

Thought the keeper didn't cover himself in glory there! Bit weak at his near post.

But certainly composed work from Maguire alright. Good to see him hit the ground running there. Is that his second goal in six games?

**TheOneWhoKnocks** · 12/09/2017, 9:02 PM

Hogan would be doing well to make the squad at this rate.

Murphy scoring every other week and Maguire has been class for Preston and is just now adding the goals.

Alan Browne doesn't get a lot of love on here. Has played slot of football at a fairly young age

Browne scored a terrific goal hitting it first time from near the half-way line after the opposition keeper made a hames of a kick up the field. Video of it in his thread here: http://foot.ie/threads/188986-Alan-B...=1#post1935771

against welsh opposition too... could it be a sign?!

**samhaydenjr** · 13/09/2017, 1:56 AM

Glad to see Maguire getting another and it does seem that he has hit the ground running at Preston, which is certainly a relief - as to the question of the forward line for the Moldova game...ooh, now it's getting tricky to decide...which is a good thing

Eulogized on the PNE fans forum. "singing his name already", "going to become a hero here", "the Irish Aguero", "bloody great", "superb" and a few stating they reckon they'll have a job holding onto him.

Shades of Doyle to Reading the way he's hit the ground running immediately.

I wonder do cork have a sell on clause?

**Park_Lane** · 13/09/2017, 11:16 AM

Not sure, but doubtful seen as it was a buyout clause that preston paid

**sbgawa** · 13/09/2017, 1:03 PM

That would be a pity because if he keeps scoring goals he could be transferred for a lot of bucks

I think there is something there. I'm obviously not 100%, but I remember hearing about one at some point.

Preston only had to meet Maguire's buy-out clause, no? I don't think there was any sell-on clause as part of the deal as Cork had very little bargaining power.

This article would give me the impression there was no sell-on clause: https://www.thesun.ie/sport/football...-to-do-a-deal/

A cheap sale would revive memories of how Kevin Doyle and Shane Long were sold to Reading for �117,000 and �40,000 respectively in 2005. Doyle subsequently moved to Wolves for �6.5million with Long joining West Brom for a similar fee. City had a ten per cent sell-on clause for both but Doyle�s was cashed in when the club was in financial difficulty for far less than it would have been worth, and Long had not moved by the time City was liquidated in 2010.

With Maguire, the club will argue it had no choice but to agree to the [buy-out] clause to persuade him to sign a new deal amid UK and Belgian interest and, given he will be available for free in November anyway, it was the best they could hope for.

City have a generous sell on clause.

**Charlie Darwin** · 14/09/2017, 2:36 AM

Maguire is under 24 so the buy-out clause only got him out of his Cork City contract. The training compensation is a separate deal that needs to be concluded and that's where Cork were able to negotiate a delay to keep Maguire until the end of July and any sell-on clause would be part of that.
