BSRED Posted June 7, 2017 Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 Defender in latest international squad. Hordur Magnusson has been called up by Iceland for their crucial FIFA World Cup qualifier with Croatia this Sunday. The City defender could add to his nine international caps in the Group I showdown in Reykjavik. Croatia currently top the group unbeaten on 13 points, with Iceland in second on ten points, having played the same number of games. Only the top team in the group will guarantee their place at next summer’s FIFA World Cup in Russia, with the runner-up facing a play-off. Magnusson, 24, joined City from Juventus in the summer of 2016 and made 29 appearances in his debut season, scoring once. In March his stunning free kick for Iceland went viral as he netted the only goal of the game against Republic of Ireland in Dublin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did he not also get an injury that kept him out for a couple of weeks? And then he was in competition with a more experienced championship centre back for a spot, which given our relegation fears at the time it probably made sense to go with the experience rather than having a young player exposed to the additional hostility. Plus, LJ said that people who do that clap thing when Maggs does a throw in annoy him and that they are all wooly-woofters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cider-Head23 Posted June 8, 2017 Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 I've no idea why a lot of fans are getting so wound up about the Magnusson situation, he played every game up until Bailey Wright came in and did very well. He is still only 24 for a fairly young lad to come to a new team and a new country and bed in so quickly was great. Bailey Wright for the large part played very well, along side Flint in a defensive partnership that was suited more for the relegation fight than maybe that of Mags who is better on the ball. As first season's at a new club in a new country go I think he had an excellent season. I'm certain he's in LJ's plans, I expect to see a lot of him this coming season. If Flint does move on, a partnership of Mags and Wright could well be formed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just another reason to have a go at the manager because our best social media darling defender was kept out of the squad by another player.

Quite right, it's football it happens. Back for pre season its a clean slate its up to each individual player to nail down a place in the starting eleven.

MyBrotherErnie Posted June 8, 2017 Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 Bailey Wright is 24, as is Magnusson. I'm not sure there's as big a difference in ability as others seem to suggest, but both look like good players now and potentially excellent players in future, so I'm hoping to see more of both next season.

Can't help but feel if Hordur wasn't such a loveable little cherub then no one would have noticed he'd been replaced! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aha Major. You're playing that game where you take a classic lyric and add it to another from a completely different song. The new opus would make people think it's a long lost verse etc! So, here's my third line..... Wipe the sleep from your eyes, Take the ribbons from your hair.
