It's all fun and games. No one really knows anything.Sky sports saying our interest has cooled.
For better or worse, he just doesn't seem like the type to kick up a fuss and act like a baby to get a transfer, it should be commended, but I'd bloody love him to do it if it would help get him here.Maguire hasn’t really made much effort on his part here and that’s what it would take to get a transfer like this over the line. Guess he doesn’t want it enough.
Well at Benfica he was in the same defense as Ederson and Semedo who became starters for City and Barca respectively.So you expected a 23yr old coming from the Portuguese league to be an immediate starter for Man Utd? Makes sense. The only thing it suggests is that Mourinho identified 2 young players who he thought have potential and bought them.
We don't even know if the club is actually trying to sign another CB right now. And even if we did sign someone, we don't know who they'd replace in the squad.
You are not entirely wrong but, most transfer links are going to come from agents leaking to the press.Unless Maguire kicked up a massive stink it was always an unlikely transfer so close to the transfer window shutting.
Transfer speculation is now big business. Clicks and betting. I wouldn't be surprised if there were employees at certain outlets specifically engineering rumours.
This is true.In Madrid's case it isn't even close to be fair. They trump us in almost every category (bar in revenue, where we generate 4m more than them).
In this day and age it's nice to see a player not kick up a fuss and act like a baby to get a transferFor better or worse, he just doesn't seem like the type to kick up a fuss and act like a baby to get a transfer, it should be commended, but I'd bloody love him to do it if it would help get him here.

Good. I want Toby. Not MacGyver. He's better. The latter is only ever any good when in a tight spot.Sky sports saying our interest has cooled.
We’re an English club.Why is being English a huge plus?
Not sure who i want most between him and Alderweireld. Maguire being English and younger is a huge plus though.
Because Manchester United is an English club and it adds to our homegrown quota.Why is being English a huge plus?
We’re an English club.
Being an English club is hardly a reason. I accept the homegrown quota argument though.Because Manchester United is an English club and it adds to our homegrown quota.
Exactly. I think some of the fans who are not English don’t get this. We are English, and if there were two identical players (clearly this is hyperthetical and could never happen) and one was and English and the other was not, the English player would be preferable every time. We are from Manchester and I’d prefer a home grown lad every day of the week, and I would like a reasonable proportion of the players we buy to be English.We’re an English club.
It’s more of a personal preference. Great United sides have always had great English leaders. The same way Barca have always had great Spanish players and Bayern great Germans.Being an English club is hardly a reason. I accept the homegrown quota argument though.
Surely it is more important for us to have homegrown players rather than necessarily them being English.We’re an English club.
United should be targeting the best talent regardless of their nationality.It's a massive reason. We're Man Utd, we should have the best English talent, seeing as we're the most successful English club. I think so many people from outside England fail to grasp this point. I want English talent that are good enough for us, it's how it should be.
correct. The best British players should be a a priority though. Especially when filling the homegrown quota. Fill those slots with the best of a bunch. If two talents are at a similar level but one is british and one is from elsewhere, id prefer us to pick the brit.United should be targeting the best talent regardless of their nationality.
I’m American and I feel this way. I’ve always thought clubs (not just United) should be self sufficient and self sustainable in a sense. This is the literal point to having and investing in an academy. It doesn’t even have to necessarily be English or British players (though it would be nice and some of Fergie’s last few signings fit the bill) but players that are already on United’s books.It's a massive reason. We're Man Utd, we should have the best English talent, seeing as we're the most successful English club. I think so many people from outside England fail to grasp this point.

It's mostly likely the discussion of the structuring of the deal. Very rarely do clubs just plonk the lump sum of the transfer in each other's accounts. Transfer fees are more often that not paid out over a period.http://www.skysports.com/share/11462377
Looks like we’re in for both Maguire and Alderweireld and it being a case of get whichever one we can, never understood the “preparing a bid” thing though as surely Ed calls up the opposite person from the other club and negotiates a price then it’s put into an official bid on paper ?
Indeed. Identity is essential to forging dynasties - Barcelona and Juve have seen immediate returns to prominence in the past decade when they began embracing domestic talent again. Liverpool reached a European Cup final with AOX, Milner, Henderson, Gomez, Trent AA, Robertson etc....It's a massive reason. We're Man Utd, we should have the best English talent, seeing as we're the most successful English club. I think so many people from outside England fail to grasp this point. I want English talent that are good enough for us, it's how it should be.
He was also incredibly cheaper.I don't much rate him.
But I also laughed my arse off when Chelsea signed Cahill.
The guy is sitting there with every meaningful club medal available to him at home.
Maguire is easily as good as Cahill was back then.
he wouldn't be in this marketHe was also incredibly cheaper.
He would, the same way Maguire was incredibly cheaper last season.he wouldn't be in this market
