We already have the only ex united CB worth having thanks
There was once a time where your club would have dreamed of signing a Utd CB.

Swap you Evans for Smalling, Jones & Rojo??? hahaWe already have the only ex united CB worth having thanks
Was shit for us. Jones sadly just can't stay fit, but he pisses all over EvansWe already have the only ex united CB worth having thanks
Most internet posters are utter shimmering apes in fairness who criminally underate their own players at bad times and do the opposite at good times.Was expecting replies like this
So if a bunch of us randoms on here can see what a joke Jones is, how any of us can be confident in Ole and the club for renewing him.
I agree although I pride myself on having an opinion I stick with. There are some players at the club I think are average or terrible regardless of having a good game now and then. Jones is one for sure.Most internet posters are utter shimmering apes in fairness who criminally underate their own players at bad times and do the opposite at good times.
We won't fail because we kept jones on as a squad player
We need a player like Maguire or Wan Bissaka to come in and improve their level. That's the golden ticket, and has barely happened at all in the last 6 or so years.I agree although I pride myself on having an opinion I stick with.

As for Maguire I liked him at Hull and think he is better than any of our CBs although not at the top level. Price quoted is huge but it wouldn't bother me if we spent 75m on him and partnered him with Lindelof.
Someone ITK I hope?Just overheard someone saying he’s signed for united?
I keep hearing this. Might be unpopular but I think Smalling is still (Quite rightly) our first choice CB. Maguire and Smalling would be quality in my opinion, both beasts in the air, Maguire is great on the ball and Smalling is rapid.He's a good player. Very good in the air and on the ball. My main worry is his acceleration and tendency to back off. Would not be a good partner for Lindelof I feel as it would be quite a slow pairing.
He's made it clear to Tottenham he will play out his contract and leave on a free.All quiet on Alderweireld - don't understand why we would go after Maguire for 3x the price, even if he's younger he's certainly not the better player.
Very vague post.Just overheard someone saying he’s signed for united?
After a very quick google, I can't find any stats on his pace, but he certainly looks slow. Saying that, I can't really remember too many times when his lack of pace has been exploited (I don't exactly watch Leicester regularly though).Exactly how much slower is maguire than these faster defenders. Do we have any stats to compare them.
Ake isn't better than what we already have.I really like Maguire, but if he costs 80m you have to say no.
If they want PL proven, why not go for someone like Nathan Ake? Surely cheaper, and also younger with upside and flexibility.
He had a pretty good season but Maguire is better. Burnley will also ask probably 50m + for him. All PL clubs are stacked with money with no reason to sell.Am I mental in being impressed by tarkowski when I've seen him?
I had considered tarkowski as a 30m or so aim. But ya wouldn't go anywhere more than thatHe had a pretty good season but Maguire is better. Burnley will also ask probably 50m + for him. All PL clubs are stacked with money with no reason to sell.
Orban and Upamecano - the RB pair also had a pretty good season and the best defence in BL. Both can be decent buys that would be much cheaper. Upamecano is closely followed by Arsenal as well.
Apart from that I'm not so sure about quality alternatives...
People vastly underrate Maguire. Id imagine because he's a big, ugly English guy.All quiet on Alderweireld - don't understand why we would go after Maguire for 3x the price, even if he's younger he's certainly not the better player.
It's not anti English more like most people would be fine with a deal worth 60m and below. Some won't mind 70m and belowMaguire would be a good signing despite what the anti English brigade on here say. Lets get it done if its who Ole wants and not haggle over a few million.
Emo Harry Kane or De Ligt.
Choose one.
or Phil Jones.
My opinion is that if we sign Maguire, Van Bissaka, a RW (Pepe) and Bruno, that would be a fairly good window no matter what the price for each of them is. If Maguire will be the solution to the problems in our defense, we shouldn't baulk at the price.It's not anti English more like most people would be fine with a deal worth 60m and below.

Agreed. He's exactly what United need on the pitch and in the locker room. People are vastly underrating the need for strong character guys on the team. Its shocking how mentally fragile United's squad has been over the last few years.People vastly underrate Maguire. Id imagine because he's a big, ugly English guy.
He's fantastic and improves us massively.
I havent seen any leadership qualities in him. How do you know what he's like in the dressing room? He's also slow. I believe Nathan Ake would be better value. He's also left footed and I think we need a left sided defender. We havent had one dice Daley leftAgreed. He's exactly what United need on the pitch and in the locker room.

We can probably buy two of those for the price it would take to buy one Maguire/De ligt.He's a very good CB but is he worth £80m? I would say, no...
If we miss out on him due to Leicester's valuation, then we'll probably turn to tier 2 targets on Ole's list like possibly Tah, Milenkovic, Konate, Andersen etc.
I imagine the tier 2 players would be many fans first choice players to come in. Personally I'd go for either Tah or Milenkovic.
Nothing to do with that IMO. He's fairly slow and makes a lot of risky passes - it's fair people are a bit cautious over a huge price tag.People vastly underrate Maguire. Id imagine because he's a big, ugly English guy.

That mentality had us going into the season conceding 54 PL goals I'll be mightily shocked if they still have the same thinking after thatI think there is a good chance that Leicester price Harry out of a move and I would not be surprised to see us leave CB until the next window if that happens. Simon Stone talked about the fact that United feel that their current options are as good as the 2nd tier options on the market and that is why they didn't sign anyone once it became apparent their primary targets were not available last summer. I assume Ed might well feel the same way again this year if de Ligt, Koulibaly and Maguire are unattainable.
If we don't add someone then I think Ole needs to figure out who is the best option to partner Lindelof int he current squad and focus on building that relationship. Lindelof looked more comfortable coming out with the ball than our other options and he also showed signs that he could grow into a leadership role at the back, he certainly was very vocal in the latter part of the season and seemed more visibly upset with our poor play than some who looked like they couldn't be arsed to put in a shift.
