He is on 190k.
We would take it, but it seems he wants the pay off from United as he would be walking away from a much bigger salary.
He made 3/4 mistakes per game too, dont forget that...
It’s inexplainable really. We need to get rid of him at all costs, and here we will have 23m net proceeds plus wages off the books.
Because he was owed that in deferred wages. Maguire is just being a greedy little git thinking he's entitled to millions to leave because no other club would be stupid enough to give him the ridiculous wages we have (thanks Ed).
I was working on the report that he was asking for 7mil pay off.
The club and ten Hag need to cut their losses of the mistakes in the Woodward era. Pay him off and use the net amounts to get a replacement. It’s as simple as that but unfortunately ten Hag’s recent comments and putting him on the bench yesterday have opened the door for Maguire to stay.
see i hate that argument, because players cant have it both ways. There are many times when a player wants a move away, but they are still under contract. It goes both ways. So for me both sides need to be realistic, but i really dont get maguire as a realistic guy. Still remember him celebrating some little nothing goal against one of the euro trash minnows as if he had just vindicated himself or something
He's not getting a big contract again regardless. This is his last big contract. Will someone give him a moderate contract at 32? Yes. With that in mind, it doesn't make sense for him to shortchange himself by leaving money on the table. Get your owed monies now.
The difference is that Barca owed him that money already. It wasnt about his future contract. Imo, completely different situations.
De Jong will play for Barcelona. Harry Maguire won't.
Apparently, De Jong was owed back dates wages.
the only rational I can see is that there is another suitor. Hopefully…
Oh yeah really helps us him digging his heels in when we are so strapped for cash
Maguire doesn't want it both ways though. He signed a contract and wants to get paid.
It does go both ways. A player can't force a move away unless the move also benefits the club. Look at Caicedo and Brighton. He's been itching for a move for over a season. Until recent, Brighton told him to feck off. Only when Chelsea came with a record breaking fee, did Brighton allow the move to happen. Look at Kane and Tottenham.
What a waster. Valued money over playing for another club (and getting shafted out of £15m
They aren't the same at all, Barca owed him unpaid wages for time he had already given them...
Fecked off beyond belief with this
Yeah let's face it we aren't spending
Why do we need to get rid of the 4th choice CB at all costs? To make you feel good?
While I do think it's fine and indeed normal to pay Maguire 'some' of the difference between what we are paying him and what West Ham will pay him, it's really not the same situation as De Jong.
To make team better. To do this, you need to dispose of all dross first
There is no proof that club feels the same.
Not entirely sure of your angle, but a few folks, including those you've rightly called out have this strange narrative that financing and getting transfers are so easy.
Because he is a waste of space that's why
You're arguing about what you would want now. The other poster has a point – he 'traded down' so to speak. Sure Maguire won't be putting in less hours, but the expectations would be far lower at West Ham, much less pressure. So the two situations are similar.So you didn't take a huge pay cut if you now work considerably less hours
And for a northerner, with a young family, settled not too far from their own families, moving to London probably is a huge downgrade in terms of his life comfortability. I'm a normal person and nobody could pay me enough to live near London.
Do agree, though think you’re asking a lot here.
Another quality post.
