I hope it is happening.
Harry hasn't though, he's a true professional, this is all agent and media generated bs to create a story in a potential transfer which is currently at an impass.
Which is the right thing to do, don't mind it, they are not going to join the tour anyway.
We’ll sign both. It’s ok.
We should also try and get a DM in too, plus a replacement for Lukaku.
Maguire
Was hoping you meant MacGyver, maybe he could have goten us out of this jam.
Sorry, it drives me mad
Hey we can’t buy a defender but I’ve got some duct tape, a stapler, some paper clips and a rotten apple
Sounds like last season’s back four.
No, isn't it obvious? We are waiting for the Lukaku money, then quick as flash Maguire will be through the door, everyone will wet themselves over the world record fee, and forget that Lukaku actually needs replacing.. Ed at his best.
Should be an instant banning.
Very good!
Good business acumen. Would you go and pay the asking price for your home or would you not try and negotiate better terms? Would you go on holiday and pay the full price for a "bazaar" gift instead of bartering for a better, more appropriate price? Of course you wouldn't, you would look for any little niche that might save you a few pence / million pounds! I would like to see both of these players at OT but we should not be held to ransom just because we are affluent enough to pay it. Unfortunately for us, Ole is still an unknown quantity in the Prem so paying top dollar for a player who might not stay after 2 seasons would be an expensive gamble. We can't guarantee CL football, can't guarantee PL success, FA cup success or even Europa league success so these " stars " would be very wary about coming to us and their agents will be aware of this so will push for the highest possible price and then look for their next move away.
Someone said it perfectly the other day.
If we get just £10m less than we paid for Lukaku that is fantastic business for us. We signed a 24 year old striker who had just bagged 25 league goals for a midtable team, we are selling a 26 year old striker who could only manage 12 league goals for a top 6 team. He hasn't met expectations, in fact he's fell quite short. If we get £65m for him it's excellent business and we should rip their hand off for that.
Thank goodness you aren't leading the negotiations.
If you think we'll get more than £65m for Lukaku you're out of your mind. That is a great deal for us. I'd take anything over 45, he's shite.
We'd be bankrupt in no time. We'd have already spent £90m on Maguire, £70m on Wan Bissaka, £75m on Fernandes (who most will never have seen play) and sold Lukaku for £45m by now if some had their way.
Inter have apparently offered £60m + £15m in bonuses (£75m all in). Why on earth would the club accept £65m when a higher amount is currently being negotiated?
I was right with you up until the last sentence. Why would Maguire’s agent push for the ‘highest possible price’ if Maguire himself wants the move. Not in his clients interest. The agent is much more likely to push for the highest possible wage from us for his client and, if anything, fight to get a realistic price from Leicester for his client in order to make the move happen.
Bite their hand off before they realise their insanity!
being honest, i think all agents will want as much of a fee as is humanly possible. I have stated before that i think most agents are selfish and snakes and that is the only reason I said that. IF Maguire absolutely wants the move, which I think he genuinely does, then his agent will have to do right or risk being released as his rep, however, LCFC hold all the aces and we will just have to wait and see how this challenge pans out.
And replace the goals with?
Smaller ones if we don’t get Maguire.
Yes please
Right? I know I wouldn't.
Seriously. Maybe he needs to start "liking" United players. Oh wait didn't De Ligt allegedly do that?So, Maguire is also going to Juventus? Don’t they have enough CB’s now?
