If it's true that Ten Hag is happy to have him as a squad player fighting for his place, then he's probably the one to be annoyed at. Hard to blame a player for staying at a bigger club that are in 4 comps and making more money.
He has spoke up similarly about other players shortly after let go, but I agree soemwhat with the sentiment. The club should be telling him he isnt part of the plans, because:
1) If he is, that is madness
2) He really may be that deluded pssibly from encouragement he has a part to play here
3) If he is being greedy, he is just staying though greed
If e go back to the beginning of the summer and seveal threads of what we need, centre back options......let the thought just sink in, that 3months later, here we are with the possibility that Maguire will still be here and our only centre back reinforcement is Johnny Evans.
Madness, cb is one of our pririty squad upgrades and we saw it again last night. People said Martinez didnt have a great game, he was ok whilst on, think people think too much of the booking....for me the drop of when Lindelof came on was pretty evident both in terms of defensively and possesion.
We really should be literally forcing him out the door and paying him off if need be. For me I think we have made potentially a good golakeeping signing and potentially a monster centre forward one. Will be interestin gto see our midfield this season as not judging after one game, but personalyl didnt see Moutn as the right signing....so I am still concerned about our midfield....but no cb signing, would be a big mistake
