Sure. Not unreasonable. But not unreasonable also that we make an example of you and stop you from playing. Nothing in contract suggest that Maguire should be playing.
Amrabat is quoted at 25m pounds, Pavard around 30-35 at most. Both are better.
City got the same for two youth players with almost no first-team minutes to their name as we got for Fred, a Brazilian international.
Who said 80k? Even if he only gets 20k/week he will likely come out ahead vs. forgoing 50% of his salary for 2 years. He is making the smart and right decision.
I'm not too sure about that anymore. With all the attention the Maguire saga has created it will put Southgate in a very embarrassing position.
Agree entirely.
If we made a mistake we made a mistake years ago. In that time city and Chelsea have blew about 10x what we blew. City signed about 5 defenders for 50-60m and just forgot about them and nobody seems to care. People act like this should hang over us forever for some reason but it is just out of touch with football today... The money we spent on a squad player years ago is absolutely irrelevant today
Harry has a decision to make about £7m and his future England career.
Somebody is paying him "that" money though. For another 2 years as well. That's a lot of cash to give up and get paid less.
Amrabat has been quoted at various prices but the brief all along has been that he is the replacement for Fred and Donny once those deals are done, we will see if that is what happens. Bayern slapped a 50M tag on Pavard over the weekend and at that price we would not have had anywhere near enough money from the Maguire sale to bring him in.
I really don't understand what the fuss is about for the payout. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Mesut Ozil, Shkodran Mustafi and Sead Kolasinac have all been paid to leave the Emirates in the past three years. Pepe will be next.
What is the point you're making within all this? It's not about whether it's "hanging over us" in some metaphorical sense, it is the financial element that was the problem which comes back to the original decision making.
All seems to point that United has no money left to put upfront. Maybe that's just them being conservative or not flaunting... Maybe we'll see some usual panic signings on August 31. But the line has been that additional recruits will only come in to replace outgoings 1:1.
Another feck up from our confusing manager
Nah with 20k after 2 years the math doesn’t add up.
This lad was done for me when he said "I have nothing to prove at United." All footballers have something to prove, it's professional sport, proving yourself is the name of the game, competing to win and to earn respect from your team mates. He should've been stripped of the captaincy after that statement and now this over money just proves he's already retired mentally. He's a waster with a weak mentality. He's been a failure at United and England will do nothing with him too. West ham better off without players like him.
He's going to do the same as Hazard and say he wants to fight for his place. Knows well that no other club will pay him what United do. Hope they leave him to rot in the reserves for the remainder of his contract.
I think they'll work this out and he'll be a West Ham player before the window closes.
Well, probably the financial element of the payout is the fuss.
I think the brief for Amrabat is 2 out of three (Donny, Fred, McT) as we might not be able to shift Donny.
Maybe the England career no longer excites him. He will be 31 by then and probably not be a starter for England whether or not he plays regular football henceforth.
It is not a matter of moral principles or being cheeky. Harry is doing what is best for him.
Ah, with you.
